e - Footprint for inside and outside the home featuring GPS, falls detector and SOS

Progress Lifeline is an award-winning personal alarm and telecare services provider who have been making a positive difference to the lives of over 65,000 customers for more than 30 years.

The situation

Frank was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s two years ago, which was a shock to him and his wife Barbara, as they thought Frank’s increasing memory loss was just part of getting older.

Not long after Frank’s diagnosis, the couples’ lifestyle changed radically. Barbara, who works full time, now has to help Frank dress, and prepare his breakfast, flask and lunch before she leaves for work as he is unable to do this himself

Frank, a keen gardener, who was used to living healthily and independently, has had to give up driving and many of his DIY and outdoor activities However, he was still really keen to continue his daily walk with his dog, Max

The Progress Lifeline solution

Barbara and Frank have been given a mobile Lifeline device called the ‘Footprint’ This is a small fob worn around the neck, and can be used inside and outside the home to provide reassurance and safety whilst still allowing independence and freedom

The Footprint features a one-press SOS button, as well as automatic falls detection and GPS tracking for instant location in case of emergency

Pressing the SOS button just once contacts Progress Lifeline’s 24-hour Alarm Response Centre Operators who can speak with you via the two-way speech system located inside the fob, will call your family or the emergency services if you need help. The GPS tracker enables us to find you if you are lost

Customer feedback

Barbara says, “Before we had the Footprint, Frank fell while walking our dog, Max, down by the river. He was confused and hurt and he was lucky that someone came to help him. The fall knocked his confidence, and he was reluctant to take Max for walks for a while in case he fell again. The Footprint would have helped him immensely in this circumstance”.

“Now we’ve got the Footprint, Frank tucks the fob into his jumper so people can’t identify him as vulnerable. He says that he feels more confident when he is out walking Bobby as he knows if he falls he can just press the button for help” www.progresslifeline.org.uk
