Who would be there for you if you had a fall at home?  The answer: VNC Lifeline!

How shocking are these statistics from AgeUK's website: *

• Every year, more than one in three (3.4 million) people over 65 suffer a fall that can cause serious injury, and even death

• Every minute, six people over 65 suffer a fall.

• Every hour, an older person dies as the result of a hip fracture from a fall.

And when you think that having a Lifeline alarm can help to quickly raise the alarm following a fall, why would anyone put themselves at risk without one?  Because the Lifeline button is worn on the user's body, it can raise alarm if someone is unable to reach a telephone, for example falling down the stairs, or tripping taking out a wheelie bin the front or back path.

You hear horror stories about people who have fallen and have been left unaided for literally days because they couldn't raise the alarm. This late response can result in far more serious resulting injuries and sadly, often, even death.  So why leave a loved one unprotected?  A telecare alarm can save a life.
