For Immediate Release

November 3, 2011

BUFFALO, NY -- As our population ages and millions of people over the age of 65 choose to stay independent and live alone, home care is becoming more important and more complex every day.

November is National Home Care month -- a time to stop and recognize those who make it possible for our elderly population to flourish, and for their families and caregivers to make sure their loved ones are safe and thriving in their own homes.

Agencies around the country this month will be looking to educate and raise awareness about the wonderful work of caregivers and the inspiring people who live fulfilling lives independently in their own homes. One tool that increases the quality of life of for people living alone -- and gives peace of mind to their families -- is the Personal Emergency Response Systems.

There are many on the market, but Shield Security stands by LogicMark’s LifeSentry. LifeSentry rises above the pack because it allows the user to call directly for help 24 hours a day. With this medical alert system, you can get help fast. LifeSentry is a two-way pendant communicator that can be used from anywhere in the house. With the simple push of a button, our central station operators can summon emergency medical help. or, in non- emergency situations, a friend or relative can be called. Read more detailed information here.

This flexibility gives residents control over who to contact in both emergency and non-emergency situations, giving peace of mind to users and their caregivers. Along with that reassurance, your Shield Security System can be programmed to alert our Central Monitoring Center if no movement is detected a residence.

The responses can be customized and lives can be saved!
