Bedford Medical Alert – Where Safety Meets Confidence.
Most of that trust was earned in person, at hospital education days, seniors’ centre lunches, and community health fairs across Ontario. We keep the record on our Bedford in the community page.
We all have people we can rely on, but what if we can’t get a hold of those people? Not being able to get help immediately can mean anything from frustration and inconvenience to being in a life-threatening situation. We can’t always rely on a landline or a cell phone because it may be out of reach or out of sight when we need help. What if we are taking a bath? We may not have the mobility or dexterity to fuss with a phone. The worst case scenario is to be unconscious so that calling for the help you need is impossible. Bedford’s Medical Alert Devices take those concerns away. We are all at greater risk of health concerns, decreased fitness and falling as we age. So, precautionary measures should be put in place to ensure our safety. Bedford is committed to you 24/7 to provide access to a Care Responder who will get you the help you need, whether it’s a quick visit from a neighbour for assistance, or Emergency Medical Services, should it come to that. A simple push of one button and you are connected to us.
Our staff are all right here in Canada, like you, and are happy to help you as often as you need. Bedford is affordable because we believe that everyone should feel that extra layer of security, whether you need a lot of help, or if you just need the peace of mind that comes with knowing that help is there… just in case.
There is a misconception that Emergency Medical Alert Devices are only for very elderly people with severe mobility problems. That’s not the case. There are many clients who just don’t feel safe living alone without someone there to call for help should any thing happen. We have clients who suffer from vertigo, are visually impaired and/or have chronic conditions that make them susceptible to falling. They live full and active lives but just want the assurance that help is there if and when they need it. One client said that her anxiety levels have decreased significantly since she has been wearing her device and it has made all the difference in keeping her active and confident.
Bedford’s job is to get you the right help, fast, whatever the situation calls for. That can mean calling a neighbour to lend a hand, sharing your location with a loved one through GPS, or contacting Emergency Medical Services when you need them. With a press of your pendant button, or a detected fall, you are connected to a Care Responder who follows the protocol you set up in advance. No system can detect every fall, so the help button is always there too. Either way, help is on its way.
After surgery doctors will often tell their patients to stay mobile and active to improve their mobility and speed-up recovery. This can be difficult if you are feeling anxious about falling or even worse, falling and not being able to get back up, further risking your wellbeing. The Bedford Medical Device can help with that, as it will give you more incentive to get mobile. It also works to keep your contacts on hand should you need assistance at home. With the press of a button, you can speak directly with a Bedford Care Responder who will contact anyone you request to come over and help with the little things as you get better. If you can’t speak during an emergency situation, we will follow the emergency protocol we customize for you.
Technology has come a long way and Bedford offers the most innovative technology available today. With the advancement of Fall Detection Science, GPS Geographical Locators, and Boundary Monitoring, we offer our clients and their loved ones virtual monitoring and access to help, 24/7. You will never feel alone, even when you are by yourself, because Bedford is there for you. Your loved ones will feel better knowing that you are ok. They will also feel better not having to panic if you don’t pick up your phone from time to time, since you can set up your Device to show them your whereabouts at all times through our GPS Locators. When they call or text, you can talk about more than just where you are and whether or not you’re ok. A son of a Bedford client wrote in to say that because of his mother’s Bedford Device, he feels like he is there even when he’s not. He is assured that she is safe which gives him more worry-free flexibility between visits.
The most important factor in preventing falls is maintaining mobility. It helps you stay independent and live well. Staying active helps the body and mind immensely and a little goes a long way. Getting up from your chair or bed three times a day or walking for a total of 30 minutes can achieve the mental and physical benefits needed for a longer and healthier lifespan. It improves muscles, bones, heart, lungs, digestion, memory, mood and sleep which prevents and minimizes the effects of chronic disease.
Fear of falling can itself raise the risk of a fall. It often leads to a more sedentary lifestyle, which weakens muscles and bones, and it can make movement tentative and anxious, both of which make a fall more likely. Seniors who live alone, or spend a lot of time alone, often feel this fear most.
Staying mobile and having a Medical Alert device that can send help as soon as you need it is the best course of action to keeping falls at bay.
Seniors over 65 represent 17% of Canadians and our Seniors requiring continuing care will rise by 71% by 2026. Our aging population have longer lifespans, and with strained social services, the children of these seniors are often their primary caregivers.
This eventually takes a toll on caregivers. Reports have shown that many of these caregivers are stressed to the point of breakdown. The cost allocated to looking after their parents is estimated to be $27 billion in out of pocket expenses, lost income and vacation time. Many of these caregivers experience worry and guilt for the time they are not able to be there and find it extremely difficult to balance life, work and care giving.
With the advances in Medical Alerts, children of our Seniors can rest assured that they can utilize GPS tracking to know where their parents are, that falls can be detected remotely and that they can rely on the 24/7 Help Response available to their parents should they need it.
A Medical Alert Device can monitor your loved one when you can’t be there.
