"I Love Carelink."
A 2008 construction accident left David Brown paralyzed from the waist down. After living in a nursing home for seven years, at age 53, wheelchair-bound David just wanted to live in an apartment on his own. His caregivers talked to David about subscribing to the CareLink service to ensure that help would be only a button push away should the need arise.
Just three weeks after David moved into his apartment, he had an emergency that required medical assistance and a hospital stay. Thankfully he had his CareLink pendant on and received help quickly. David loves that CareLink allows him to live on his own and be independent once again.
David said, “I love it and am happy I signed up with CareLink”.

We hear a lot about how dangerous falls are for older Americans, especially those living alone. The numbers are particularly harsh when it comes to hip fractures – 90 percent are caused by falls, and 250,000 Americans suffer one each year. They’re the leading fall-related injury causing hospitalization, and recovery is long and costly. But do we really understand the true ramifications of falls, and what they mean for our patients?
