NCCS
has offered a personal emergency response system for over 20 years to
Newaygo County elderly and other area residents who are subject to
sudden, life-threatening changes in their medical condition. The
program’s purpose has always been to provide an easy to use system that
allows its subscribers to summon professional, medical help in the event
of an emergency. A secondary, but no less important, benefit of the
program is that it allows elderly, frail, and geographically isolated
individuals to live at home with a greater degree of security and
independence. The LifeLink Model 9000 is also available; which can alert
the subscriber about an upcoming appointment, or that it is time to take
medications. Click on the LifeLink Brochure, or LifeLink 9000 Brochure,
links below for more information.
The
LifeLink program now offers the MD.2 medication dispensing system to Newaygo
County residents. The MD.2 system is designed to help individuals who forget to
take their medications, or take a large number of medications, with medication
management. The MD.2 system, coupled with the current LifeLink equipment, is
another step in giving Newaygo County residents the ability to live at home,
rather than be institutionalized due to medical issues. Contact Charlie Johnson
