Bay Alarm Medical: Supporting Independent Living for Seniors
Bay Alarm Co-President Matt Westphal today announced that the company had recently
launched Bay Alarm Medical, a rapid medical response system for seniors and the
home-bound.
Pacheco, CA, March 20, 2009 -- Matt Westphal, Co-President of Bay Alarm Company,
today announced that the company had recently launched Bay Alarm Medical, a
subsidiary of the more established firm.
Its core business is providing rapid
medical response for seniors and others who can benefit from having a medical alert
system in their homes.
"It was a natural move for us," said Westphal.
"It allows us to establish a new
business based on our core skills and to eventually begin to serve a growing
national market.
We have a wealth of experience in our business that translates
perfectly into providing a safety net for people with the need for a medical backup system in the home.
"
Bay Alarm ( http://www.
BayAlarm.
com ) is no stranger to protecting people.
Since
1946 they have provided peace of mind to families and businesses with fire and
security services.
Now in its third generation of family ownership and operation,
their customer base is over 100,000 and still growing.
The new business is led by Warren Heffelfinger, who has been selected as the CEO of
Bay Alarm Medical (BAM).
"Warren came to us at a time when we had been thinking
along similar lines," said Westphal.
"Together, we were able to come up with a
business plan that made sense in the current business environment.
Because of the
growing population of baby boomers who are interested in continuing to live
independently as they grow older, we saw that we could help meet a real need.
"
Heffelfinger was asked to lead the new venture ( http://www.
BayAlarmMedical.
com )
because of his experience in running similar high-touch customer care and recurring
revenue businesses, his knowledge of Bay Alarm, and his reputation as a successful
entrepreneur.
"The need for a company like Bay Alarm Medical is significant and growing," said
Heffelfinger.
"We all know that the Baby Boomers are beginning to enter retirement
age, but we have not done an adequate job addressing their #1 concern ? living
independently.
"
The service helps caregivers by providing emergency coverage when they can t be in
the home.
It also offers a less costly alternative to expensive long-term care.
The
company will not only aid seniors but will also help reduce the financial burden on
the health care system.
Charles T.
Whitaker says the Bay Alarm Medical system has changed his life for the
better.
"My wife is 90 and she s doing fine," said Whitaker.
"But there are times I
can t be there and Bay Alarm Medical lets me feel she is being watched over when I
can t be home.
A lot can happen in the half hour or so I m away from the house, and
now I can relax a bit.
"
The medical alert service is engineered for simple installation with powerful
service ( http://www.
BayAlarmMedical/HowItWorks/ ).
When an emergency signal is
generated by the transmitter, a live operator is summoned, who assesses the
situation and provides a rapid response.
The medical alert service Bay Alarm
Medical provides will also provide other opportunities as the company grows.
In an
effort to provide more home care for seniors, the company plans to add additional
services such as medication management and telehealth in the near future.
