An Alternative to the High Cost of Long-Term Care for Seniors: Bay Alarm Medical
Leads the Way
For Americans who are 65 or older and live alone, there is a high risk of being
found helpless or even lifeless in their homes.
Bay Alarm Medical, a San Francisco
area alarm system vendor, is helping seniors remain safe and independent by
providing 24/7 access to emergency medical care with the touch of a button.
Pacheco, CA, April 29, 2009 -- For older Americans, those who are 65 or older and
live alone, there is a high risk of being found helpless or even lifeless in their
homes - at least 3.
2 percent per year, according to recent data.
Currently, as the
US population continues to age, more than 400,000 seniors are expected to be at
risk each year.
Bay Alarm Medical ( http://www.
BayAlarmMedical.
com ) is helping seniors and their
families find a solution to this growing problem by providing 24/7 access to
emergency medical response with the touch of a button.
According to Bay Alarm
Medical CEO Warren Heffelfinger, "We offer a low cost solution - approximately $1 a
day - that brings peace of mind by ensuring that help is always there.
At a time when aging baby boomers are becoming concerned about their ability to
avoid the costs and loss of freedom that come from depending on long-term care, the
use of an effective medical alert system has been proven to increase independent
living by several years.
As we move into a new era of health care reform, finding a cost-effective
alternative to long-term care is one of the most important challenges the nation
and its families face.
In the Bay Area alone, it costs $8500 a month for a private
room in a nursing home.
It is quite clear that there are very practical reasons for
using services like those that Bay Alarm Medical offers.
Government provides only
very limited, partial solutions.
In California, for example, Medi-Cal will pay for
long-term care only under certain circumstances - you have to qualify by having a
net worth of under $3000 and there are only a limited number of beds available.
Independent living is an affordable and feasible solution to providing seniors with
maximum autonomy and dignity.
Catherine Del Biaggio, a Bay Alarm Medical subscriber, said recently, "I fell down
not long ago, pressed a button, and before I knew it, everything was taken care of.
It worked well and it worked quickly.
Having a medical alarm system has given me
such reassurance.
I am so glad to have Bay Alarm Medical to help me in case of an
emergency.
"
Bay Alarm Medical can respond to medical emergencies promptly, efficiently, and
reliably.
