The Wagner Family Foundation recently awarded the American Red Cross of the Greater Lehigh Valley grant funding to be utilized with their Lifeline Personal Response program. As a result, American Red Cross will be able to subsidize the cost of the Lifeline service for a number of residents who reside in the Nazareth area.
Lifeline, the #1 medical alert service, has helped over 6 million seniors and their families. It is an easy to use service designed to reduce the risk of living alone. In the event of a fall or emergency, help is available at the push of a button. The appropriate help is sent, resulting in reduced hospitalization, lower medical costs, shorter recovery times, and greater independence for the user.
The cost of the Lifeline service is $40.00 per month. Individuals would be responsible for paying $30.75 per month, plus a one-time shipping and handling fee of $12.95. The Wagner Family Foundation grant funding would cover their balance of $10.00. This reduced fee is available for a maximum of 12 months.
If you know someone living in Nazareth, please pass on this information. To sign up for the program or for more information, please contact Laura Sheehan at the American Red Cross -- 610-865-4400.
