Compassionate In-Home Care for Henrico, Hanover, and Richmond, Virginia       

Safety in your own home: PERS

Direct Link in-home emergency response monitoring, a Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) enables you to safely stay in your home longer than might otherwise be possible. 

If you need help, day or night, simply press the small, wireless button worn around your neck or wrist and help is sent immediately.  Feel secure knowing you have Direct Link and help is as close as the push of a button.

THE DIRECT LINK DIFFERENCE

Every PERS comes with two wireless buttons, each with two different ways to wear it for your convenience.  Direct Link PERS buttons are water resistant and may be worn in the shower, or even installed somewhere in the bathroom where the majority of falls occur.  The extra buttons and the specialty installation are at no extra cost to you!  

Your PERS unit is entirely customizable with who you want to be informed that you are experiencing an emergency.  It can notify Emergency Services or can call your neighbor or family member.

Peace of Mind: Medication Management

 Direct Link MedReady, an Automated Medication Reminder unit, is an incredible tool to assist those that struggle with confusing medication schedules or with hard to manage bottles and charts.  1 out of 10 hospital admissions are due to medication mismanagement, which is easily preventable with the right resources.

MedReady is as easy to set up as an alarm clock, and not only alarms and notifies you that your medication is ready to take, but will call your home telephone number if your medication has not been taken within a specified set time frame.  MedReady holds 28 doses of medication with up to 4 alarms daily.  MedReady is light and portable, and houses your medication safely under lock and key.  

 How Direct Link works

Direct Link is monitored by a CSAA Diamond 5 star Medical Call Center, so you know that your loved one is getting in touch with knowledgeable, caring staff.

Direct Link is monitored 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  Once notified, our staff will know what actions to take based on your prior instructions.
