I am Sharon and I am new to the Fort Macleod LifeCare committee so am still in the learning process. However, I have been a responder for 2 wonderful ladies and can tell you that it is an
awesome program. As a responder, you may be called if a client has a fall, or is in distress. Sometimes when called it is as simple as the client rolling over in bed and accidently sending a
help signal. In that instance it is a simple matter of letting the response center know and resetting the line. When agreeing to be a responder you are provided with information on what steps to take. It is a very worthwhile program which helps friends and family to feel safe in their homes.

Our committee provides information about the Good Samaritan monitoring services for personal emergency response systems, installation and service of the same for prospective clients in the community of Fort MacLeod or within 25km of the town. The society also acts as a depot for self-install clients living outside that area.
