Lifeline®
Lifeline is an electronic home monitoring system that works in conjunction with the user’s telephone service. If the user needs help, he or she would simply push a button – worn on a wristband or necklace – to contact Hudson Hospital & Clinics, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Lifeline service is available for a nominal monthly fee. This valuable program is sponsored by Hudson Hospital Foundation.
Lifeline® home monitoring offers:
- Affordable monitoring units helped approximately 100 community members live independently
- Units created 24-hour link to the hospital
- Program funded since 1984
- Foundation subsidized monthly equipment fee
- 26 callers needed assistance in the past year
For more information about the Lifeline program, call (715) 531-6019.
Telecare
Each morning, Telecare participants receive a phone call from a friendly volunteer at Hudson Hospital & Clinics. This free service provides the opportunity to chat with someone who cares, as well as assures that everything is OK. If there is no answer, the volunteer reaches a friend or family member to determine if assistance is needed.
