2 Bringing health care news to your home Help at the touch of a button Medical alert system keeps you safe at home Columbus Community Hospital offers personal alert response systems, called Safe at Home, that give you access to a trained specialist 24 hours a day — all at the touch of a button. There’s even a version that automatically detects when you’ve fallen and summons help. Safe at Home has in-home and on-the-go alert systems you can take anywhere. Hailey Rathje, program coordinator for Safe at Home, said most people sign up after a fall or other health issue. “They’re seeking something to help keep them independent at home — to give them or their loved ones peace of mind,” she said. When you sign up for Safe at Home through CCH, you benefit from: ● No long-term contracts. ● Local support: A Safe at Home representative will set up the device and teach you to use it. “You’re not just relying on calling a 1-800 number for answers,” Rathje said. “You have someone local who can assist you.” HOUSECALL is published as a community service for the friends and patrons of Columbus Community Hospital, 4600 38th St., P.O.
