Framingham, MA (PRWEB) July 6, 2005 -- Today’s Caregiver, the first national
magazine for all family and professional caregivers, has awarded Lifeline
Systems lifelinesys.com a 2005 Caregiver Friendly Award for Lifeline’s
CarePartner Telephone with Reminders service. The Caregiver Friendly Awards are
designed to recognize those outstanding products, services, books and media
created with the needs and best interests of the family caregiver in mind.
Lifeline Systems has been the leading provider of personal
response services in the United States for over 30 years. Lifeline is the
preferred provider of medical alert services to members of the Visiting Nurses
Associations of America, and to thousands of leading doctors and hospitals. In
addition, the Lifeline service is available through select chapters of the
American Red Cross.
“More caregivers trust Lifeline to care for their
loved ones than all other medical alert services combined,” commented Deb
Citrin, Lifeline Vice President of Marketing. “The Caregiver Friendly Award
touches upon one reason why Lifeline is preferred by professional and family
caregivers alike – it’s the way we care about every subscriber as if they were
family members of our own.”
With the simple press of a button, at any time of
the day or night, the user is quickly connected with a highly trained Lifeline Personal Response Associate. The Associate makes
voice contact, reviews the individual's personal and medical profile, assesses
his or her situation and then notifies a family member, neighbor, or appropriate
support and medical response team as the situation requires. In addition to
these life-saving features, the Lifeline CarePartner Telephone can be easily
programmed to deliver personalized voice messages used to remind the senior that
it is time take medication, keep an appointment, or to simply provide a message
of love and support.
“The average caregiver is responsible for over
$40,000 in health related expenditures each year, in either personal or directed
funds,” commented Gary Barg, Today’s Caregiver Editor-in-Chief. “This award is
designed to help family caregivers recognize and reward those organizations who
will care for them in as committed a manner as they care for their loved
ones.”
Lifeline Systems along with the other winners will be profiled in
the September/October issue of Today’s Caregiver and on the magazine’s website,
www.caregiver.com In
addition to the magazine, Caregiver Media Group also produces the Fearless
Caregiver Conferences and ‘The Fearless Caregiver’ book, which teaches
caregivers how to become their loved one’s fearless advocates within the
healthcare system.
