MHC Lifeline
Personal Response and Support Service

LIFELINE's Personal Response Service provides: 

 • Peace of mind to the patient, family and caregiver

 • Independence and quality of life in their own home

 • Early intervention which improves outcomes

 • Reassurance that someone is always "there" for the patient

 • Service to Cheyenne, Deuel, Garden, Keith, Kimball and Morrill counties in Nebraska, and Logan and Sedgwick counties in Colorado

LIFELINE is simple...
 • A small, portable personal help button is worn on a neck chain, wrist strap or clipped to clothing. If you need help, simply push the button. Auto Alert provides an additional layer of protection by automatically placing a call for help if a fall is detected and you can not push the button.

 • A Lifeline Communicator is connected to your telephone line. It sends an automatic call for help when you push your personal button on the front of the communicator.

 • Highly trained personnel receive your help call and immediately attempt to make voice contact with you. If assistance is needed, they will contact one of your "responders" - nearby friends or relatives. For more serious situations, an ambulance or police will be dispatched.

 • Upon arrival, your responder presses the yellow reset button on the communicator to let the Response Center know that help has arrived.

Who benefits?
 • People who live alone

 • New mother who may need to get help for their infant without leaving crib side

 • People who may be concerned about their personal safety or security

 • Those with ongoing medical conditions

 • Post-operative patients who want to maintain a link to medical assistance

 • Disabled or handicapped individuals
