With Lifeline from Oswego Hospital, help is just a button press away.
Oswego Hospital Lifeline provides Oswego County’s senior community and others with a safe way to remain living in their own homes. For more than 30 years, Lifeline has enabled millions of people to live with greater independence and peace of mind.
When Lifeline subscribers need assistance, they simply press the waterproof personal help button that can be worn either as a pendant or as a wristband. When pushed, the button activates a small in-home communicator that automatically dials the Oswego Hospital’s fourth floor staff. Ready to take calls 24-hours a day are specially-trained staff members. When a call is received from a Lifeline subscriber, the caller’s medical history is immediately available on a computer screen for the staff person answering the phone. If help is needed, that assistance is immediately dispatched.
Lifeline encourages users of its medical alert services to consult with their caregivers or service provider to determine which style of help button is most appropriate for them. It is important that users make an informed choice to find the most suitable method for wearing their help button so that it is available at all times to summon for emergency help, if necessary. It should be noted that the popular pendant style is not designed to break away.
HOURS: Monday - Friday 8:00-4:00 p.m. After hours, on weekends, or holidays, a Lifeline Representative can be reached by calling our toll free number: 1-800-242-1306, extension 4678.
Lifeline services are easy to obtain and typically a qualified Lifeline specialist installs service within 24-48 hours of the request.
