The call was from Electronic Caregiver\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rrms.com\/\">Rapid Response team<\/a>. The dispatcher informed them their 81-year-old mother\/grandmother, Katy Kelly, had pressed her emergency response button on her Electronic Caregiver device. First responders were transporting Katy to the ER due to symptoms of a stroke. They responded at just the press of a button.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5980 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/electroniccaregiver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Grandma7-227x300.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 227px) 100vw, 227px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/electroniccaregiver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Grandma7-200x265.jpg 200w, https:\/\/electroniccaregiver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Grandma7-227x300.jpg 227w, https:\/\/electroniccaregiver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Grandma7-400x530.jpg 400w, https:\/\/electroniccaregiver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Grandma7-600x794.jpg 600w, https:\/\/electroniccaregiver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Grandma7.jpg 725w\" alt=\"Katy holding great granddaughter\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"1664391158\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Electronic Caregiver\u2019s help at the touch of a button, Katy received prompt medical care, recovering in good condition. And because Electronic Caregiver keeps caregivers in the loop, Katy\u2019s family could support her throughout the process. \u201cThere is no way she would have been able to dial 9-1- 1,\u201d Bailey Henderson said. \u201cAnd I cannot even imagine what the scenario would have been if she not had her Electronic Caregiver system there.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"46\" data-lineheight=\"57.5px\">24\/7 Vitals Monitoring<\/h2>\n<p>By now, Bailey\u2019s grandmother has used Electronic Caregiver\u2019s technology and services for seven years. Currently, she uses the Pro Health, a Precision Remote Patient Monitoring (PRPM) system. The Pro Health connects with several Bluetooth medical devices to monitor vitals. It also provides 24\/7 emergency response, medication reminders, and pocketMD telemedicine.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, Electronic Caregiver has saved Katy\u2019s life on several occasions. \u201cShe\u2019s used it probably six or seven times to go to the hospital,\u201d Patti said. Each time Katy has only had to press a button to receive immediate intervention, stay-on-the-line service, and the medical treatment others may have to wait hours to receive.<\/p>\n<p>Along with its emergency services, Katy uses the Pro Health to monitor her health daily. Katy has several health conditions, including osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, and complications due to past surgeries. \u201cShe takes her blood pressure at different times of day,\u201d Patti explained. \u201cThat way, if she\u2019s not feeling well, she can see if it\u2019s her blood pressure that\u2019s causing it. So, when she calls the doctor, she can tell them her blood pressure and pulse oximetry\u2026It helps her get answers more quickly.\u201d Additionally, Electronic Caregiver customers also have the option of Telehealth Services through PocketMD. Again, at just the press of a button, intervention including some medications prescription is just minutes away.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"22\" data-lineheight=\"48.4px\">Caregivers in the Know<\/h3>\n<p>Additionally, clients who use the Pro Health can choose to have vitals information automatically sent to designated caregivers and\/or providers. This allows the client\u2019s care circle to view and monitor vitals in real-time and get alerts when something is abnormal. They also get notified when clients miss taking medications or don\u2019t use the device for a certain amount of time.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the Pro Health empowers clients to take charge of their health. \u201cI think she likes being able to keep track of her own vitals,\u201d Patti said of her mother. \u201cIt\u2019s something she\u2019s very proactive with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Patti said knowing her mother has Electronic Caregiver and that she is safe gives her family peace of mind. \u201cI get notified [of an emergency] probably within two minutes of her hitting her button,\u201d Patti said. \u201cIt\u2019s very quick, and I know [the Electronic Caregiver] number by heart, so I answer it automatically.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"22\" data-lineheight=\"48.4px\">Assisting those assisting with just the press of a button<\/h3>\n<p>Recently, Katy moved into assisted living, but she continues to use Electronic Caregiver to keep her family in the loop. She lives at the Village at Northrise in Las Cruces, New Mexico. \u201cI lived a mile from her before she moved to Northrise, and now it\u2019s probably four miles,\u201d Patti said. \u201cSo, it\u2019s great to know that [the Pro Health] is there. It\u2019s allowed me to travel and go out of town. If I\u2019m not here, then the next one in line [to care for my mother] is my brother. We always cover each other on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the sake of her health, Katy moved into the Morningside building at Village at Northrise in mid-November. Morningside offers assisted\/senior living private accommodations supplemented with personal care. \u201c[My mom] had gotten to a point where she wasn\u2019t comfortable being at home alone during the day,\u201d Patti said. \u201c\u2026It was time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-kljsp26o-77bdd9acf417a2c4a30e2912dc17b268'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/491839923\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/491839923\">Why Patti Henderson uses Electronic Caregiver<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/adohrmann\">Anthony Dohrmann<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-kljvqllv-d6d1f6466a4f141ac07a5d0b097ed46d'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>Still Independent<\/h3>\n<p>While Katy has the help of a nurse on-site, her family appreciates the extra protection the Pro Health provides. \u201cI think it\u2019s good for her to be able to monitor herself still and keep an eye on herself,\u201d Patti said. \u201cThat way, if she\u2019s not feeling well, she can tell them and show them what\u2019s going on. And that\u2019s a key thing in keeping her in good health and vital to all of this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Katy isn\u2019t the only Village at Northrise resident who uses Electronic Caregiver. In the Hallmark, an apartment complex on campus, 55 residents use Electronic Caregiver\u2019s Premier device.<\/p>\n<h2>Living life On-The-Go<\/h2>\n<p>Comparatively, the Premier is similar to the Pro Health but designed for people who live life on the go. It includes a pocket-sized smart health device and emergency wrist pendant with one-touch telehealth and interactive care plan support. It also has GPS and cellular-based location services.<\/p>\n<p>The Premier adds another level of safety to Hallmark residents, who live independently for the most part. \u201cThey do things on their own,\u201d said Kekoa VonSchriltz, director of guest services and transportation at the Village at Northrise. \u201c\u2026That\u2019s why it\u2019s very important to have this system in this building\u2026We don\u2019t walk around every 20 minutes to make sure everybody is OK since they\u2019re independent. But [with the Premier], if anything arises and they do need help, in a snap, they have help just like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, Electronic Caregiver\u2019s technology has been especially useful to residents throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Like the Pro Health, the Premier keeps family members in the loop. They get notified when a loved one misses taking their medications or pushes the emergency button on their device. \u201cRight now, COVID is taking away that line of communication between family members and residents,\u201d Kekoa said. \u201cThey don\u2019t have access to have their family members come in and see them 24\/7. They can\u2019t come to help them with medication\u2026If an emergency arises, a family member can\u2019t come in because of COVID guidelines at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>We Know What Happened<\/h3>\n<p>Additionally, the Premier keeps Village at Northrise staff notified when a resident contacts emergency services. \u201cWhen we walk in at the beginning of the day at 7:30 in the morning and somebody\u2019s not there for breakfast, it raises the question, \u2018What happened?\u2019\u201d Kekoa said. \u201c[With the Premier], we already know ahead of time. Electronic Caregiver let us know this individual went to the hospital at 4:30 in the morning\u2026They\u2019re in the emergency room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In summary, Kekoa VonSchriltz said he is grateful to have Electronic Caregiver as a resource at Village at Northrise. \u201cI\u2019ve only heard positive things about it,\u201d he said. \u201c[The residents] love it. They like that it\u2019s easy; it\u2019s lightweight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You will find more information about Electronic Caregiver products <a href=\"https:\/\/electroniccaregiver.com\">on this website<\/a>.
