Support Services | LIFELINE® HealthOutreach of Weill Cornell makes it possible to obtain additional peace of mind through a program called LIFELINE®—a home emergency response service that is designed to help people maintain their independence by providing them access to emergency assistance 24-hours a day. In case of a serious accident or urgent matter, you or someone you love will be able to alert the Emergency Response Center at the NewYork Presbyterian Hospital by simply pressing a button. Our paramedic staff will contact the home and determine if help is needed, and if necessary, an ambulance or other assistance will be sent immediately. Who Can Benefit from LIFELINE? The LIFELINE® program isn’t just for older adults. We have participants ranging in age from 30 years old to our oldest at age 102. In fact, our subscribers represent all walks of life—from individuals who are employed full-time and live independently to those who are homebound and in need of 24-hour assistance, including: • People living alone • Individuals recovering from surgery • Individuals with heart problems • People with diabetes • The disabled or handicapped • Individuals who are bedridden • Pregnant women or new mothers LIFELINE® offers a sense of security and independence to the user, and provides reassurance to concerned family members and caregivers. It is a fee-for-service program offered through HealthOutreach at NewYork Weill Cornell Medical Center, and includes the equipment and rental monitoring service. As a subscriber, we hope that you will gain peace of mind from having LIFELINE® readily available to you. For more information about LIFELINE®, call 212-746-6479. |
