Helen is 92, lives on her own, is managing very well and wants to stay in her own home.
Her family are living abroad and she also has home help. We give her a call at 12.30 every day. Her family are delighted at her independence and the difference that this call makes to her life.
Sean lives on his own and has no family. He has ongoing health issues and was also going through a bad bout of depression when he first contacted us. We are his lifeline and he is so grateful for all the help we have given him over the years. For example we encouraged him to go out into the community more often which he is now doing.
Mary lives on her own as most of her family are now deceased and she gets no visitors. She never went out or socialised much except to mass on Sunday’s but we encouraged her to go to the daycare centre and arranged the transport for her.
She now has a HomesafeCare system having fallen one night and being unable to move until the friendly call staff raised the alarm in the morning after failing to make contact with her at the usual time.
Richard a housebound cancer patient is living in a rural isolated area. He has no regular visitors and he couldn’t survive without his friendly call.
His only sister lives in the UK and we are his only regular contact with the outside world.
Richard’s HomesafeCare alarm saved his life when he got a clot in his leg. By pressing his pendant his neighbours were there to help him within 15 minutes and got him to the hospital.
