If there is an elderly loved one in your life, you want them to live as independently as possible. However, you also want to ensure they’re safe when you’re not around. Alabama’s New Hope Telephone Co-Op has a solution to make the best of both worlds a reality. In addition to cable and telephone services for clients throughout the area, they also provide the CAREConnect personal emergency response system. For seniors living on their own, this life-saving program allows easy access to help in an emergency.

The CAREConnect system involves three invaluable components—personal emergency response service, medication management assistance, and a monitored smoke detector—all of which provide instant communication with the call center. The CAREconnect system is also a great addition to NHTC Security Solutions which provides home and business security solutions.

Some elderly people are in excellent shape both mentally and physically, equipped to manage their daily routine without the assistance of a caregiver. Others need to be moved to assisted living communities for their own safety. Perhaps your loved one is healthy enough to maintain some degree of independence, just not healthy enough that you feel comfortable forgoing a safety net.

That’s where the CAREConnect system comes in. Whenever your loved one needs help, they can turn to their two-way voice communicator, provided by New Hope Telephone. Sometimes, there may be a stranger at the door they’re not sure how to respond to. Other times, they might feel dizzy and want to alert someone who can provide medical help. If your loved one is bathing and unable to reach the communicator, the CAREConnect system comes equipped with a waterproof help button.
