FAQ

How do you monitor individuals from the office setting? Each individual in the program has a monitor in their home (think baby monitor) that allows us to hear if they have an emergency or question for us. Some individuals may have a button to alert us, like the LifeAlert button.

What does a tech do in an emergency situation? When an emergency comes up we call appropriate authorities (EMS, Fire department, etc.) and then make our way to the scene to assist as we are able.
