I have to tell you about an incident I had. I fell at home but I didn’t hurt myself. However, fortunately I have Lifeline. They called immediately asking if I was alright and I told them I was. They were on the ball with a prompt response. I did not have to call them because the pendant I was wearing sensed I was on the floor. I assured them I was all right. It was so reassuring that someone was looking after me. Next day I got a call from the RVNA asking if they should send a nurse. I would highly recommend Lifeline as they did what was required. You can obtain Lifeline through the Ridgefield Visiting Nurse Association and they follow up. They will install it for you and they have you on their lists. One thing you have to do is wear the pendant all the time, even when you are in the shower. It is waterproof. If you are interested in more information call Barbara Newman at RVNA, 203-438-5555, ext. 1005.
Some advice about scams, which are ongoing: Don’t give anyone your password to your bank accounts, your computers or any of your files. Shred anything that has your personal information on it, including used airplane tickets and hotel key cards. The bar code on these has your personal information on it (credit card number, address, phone numbers, and name).
See you in two weeks, Chris
