The Health Fair...

Yesterday I attended a Health Fair at a facility that we provide a pull cord system to their residents. Pull Cords are commonplace in Assisted Living Facilities, Nursing Homes, Hospitals, etc. The idea behind them is that if an individual needs help they simply pull the "Pull Cord" for assistance. The idea works well if you are within reach of the pull cord. But what if you are not? The Pull Cord system my company provides hooks up to a pull cord. An individual wears a small wireless transmitter button. If they are in need of help, they press the button that they are wearing, and it simply pulls the "Pull Cord" down for them. The range is usually reliable within 100 feet. Our systems have become exceedingly popular recently, especially in this facility that we provide them. We commonly hear stories that individuals lay on the floor for 6, 8, 10 hours at a time because they can't reach their pull cord. This system seems to do the trick! The individuals and residents were enthusiastic to see me and wished more residents would get one of these "Vital-Links", as they commonly referred it.
