Lifeline preserves independence, gives peace of mind

When someone is alone and in trouble, a minute can seem like an hour. If you or your loved ones are homebound following surgery or due to a medical condition, Lifeline, AAMC’s personal emergency response system, can help.

The Lifeline service provides high quality monitoring which allows people to maintain their independence and feel safe.  People with health issues, special needs, and fall risk can feel more confident going about their daily tasks with the Lifeline service.

Lifeline provides the peace of mind needed for all parties involved when caring for a loved one. Caregivers can be rest assured that help is only the simple press of a button away. Lifeline also addresses the issue of medication non-compliance by having the ability to provide medication reminders through the unit in the subscriber’s home.  

Lifeline subscribers wear a help button around their neck or wrist and push it when they need assistance.  The button relays a message to a Lifeline operator, who calls the subscriber on a base unit similar to a speakerphone.  [The operator can immediately retrieve information from the subscriber’s profile enabling them to know all health and location information to get the right help to the subscriber quickly].  If the operator gets no response, he or she attempts to reach one of the people the subscriber has listed as emergency contacts. If not contact is reached, 911 is immediately dispatched. 

The AAMC Lifeline Program has been servicing the community for over 27 years. Currently 620 area residents, ranging in age 40 to over 100, are current Lifeline subscribers through Anne Arundel Medical Center.   For just over $1.00 a day, Lifeline can be there 24 hours a day / 7 days a week to assist you or your loved one when an emergency arises.

To learn more about the AAMC Lifeline program, call 443-481-1460, or email Lifeline@aahs.org.  To subscribe to Lifeline directly, the intake number is 1-800-242-1306 ext. 4749.
