LivHOME Connect offers new way for seniors to stay safe, secure and connected with family

Seniors living at home now have a new way to stay safe, secure and connected with the world: LivHOME Connect.

LivHOME Connect is a care tablet in the home that provides easy two-way wireless communication between seniors, family members and LivHOME professionals.

LivHOME urges families to use the upcoming holiday season to examine their elderly loved ones living at home to see if they may be in need of additional assistance. For a list of warning signs to monitor, visit the LivHOME website at http://www.livhome.com/senior-decline-holidays.

The LivHOME Connect system already has an impressive track record in helping seniors stay on track with their Plan of Care and safe in their homes. About one in four alerts so far resulted from the client touching the "Call Me" button on the home screen that immediately connects them to a licensed nurse. About one in three alerts were responses to questions to home care and status surveys, which can trigger an alert, while another one fourth were calendar events that expired without a response from the client.

"LivHOME Connect has been enthusiastically received by seniors, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and families, who see it as a great way to keep in touch and make sure the individual is cared for at all times," noted Barlam. "For example, one of our clients pushed the 'Call Me' button when her power unexpectedly shut off, leaving her in total darkness at night. We were able to provide her with reassurance right away and stayed with her on the line until the situation was resolved."
