Lifeline unit provides patient with independence
Lifeline was developed with
people's independence in mind. The
system enables elderly or disabled
people who would rather live at home
than be placed in a hospital or
nursing home, stay at home with a
sense of security. The systerti also
gives the elderly or disabled person's
family the comfort of knowing that
their loved ones will not be
completely cut off from the rest of
the world.
The system consists of a
monitoring unit that is located in the
emergency room at the Chowan
Hospital and home units that are
connected to the monitor unit. The
home units are linked up to existing
private telephone lines.
By pressing a button on the home
unit or a small wireless "help
button", the system alerts the
monitor unit located in the
emergency room that something is
wrong. Volunteers watching the
monitoring unit at the hospital begin
to take action. First, they attempt to
call the subscriber's house. If there is
not an answer, the volunteer will then
attempt to can a responder, usually ?
who has previously agreed
f. If noose
the phone at either the
One o< the
home units are timers. Tbeee timers
can be adjusted for 12 or M hoar
periods. If a subscriber falls to reset
his button after the It or U hou.
period, the monitoring system at the
hospital will alert the Emergency
Room clerk who will then check on
the subscriber.
Currently, Chowan Hospital has 14
home units in operation. Nine of
these have been purchased by the
hospital and five have been donated.
Cost to the subscriber is $10 per
month which helps to offset the
administrative costs.
Barbara Cale. assistant hospital
director, is Lifeline c.oordinator.
Anyone interested in obtaining a
Lifeline Unit may contact her at 482

been installed at the borne of
