May 04, 2009 - Indianapolis, IN -- Do you worry about your aging mother living alone? Do you have time to contact your mother every day? If your answer to the first question is "yes" and your answer to the second question is "no", Keeping In Touch Services may be the perfect gift for Mother's Day ... providing peace of mind not only for your mother but for YOURSELF.
Keeping in Touch Services phones its senior clients every day (rain or shine) ... inquiring about any health concerns and reminding them to take medications.
When there is no response after two calls or when there is any indication of illness or injury, Keeping In Touch Services contacts the emergency number(s) you specify immediately.
The callers are courteous, respectful and polite. On some days, this may be your loved one's only contact with the outside world. And the cost each day is less than the price of a Starbuck's coffee.
Seniors remark that:
"I worry that something will happen to me and nobody would know except my cat."
"Your cheerful call every day says everything is ok and someone knows I'm ok."
"Your calls make me feel safe and cared about."
A daughter writes: "I am so grateful to have this service. Thank you again."
One senior living alone in a large retirement community wrote: "I know that seniors welcome the opportunity to live independently, have their own friends and participate in all the activities that keep them mentally and physically active. However, the universal concern of all of us is "what if I fall or become ill and no one knows?"
Two incidents occurred in my neighborhood within the last six months.
A man fell, broke his hip, and lay immobile in his bathroom for 18 hours before his neighbors noticed the accumulation of newspapers and called the police.
Another neighbor, a healthy 75-year woman, tripped on a garden hose and broke her leg. Because the yard was fenced and the noise of the air-conditioning deadened her cries for help, she was not discovered until the next day when a little dog on his morning walk alerted his owner.
Both the man and the woman had children in another state who tried to 'stay in touch'. But the children have jobs and children of their own. Their day is filled with cooking meals, housecleaning, getting the kids off to school and extra-curricular activities, supervising homework, saying "hello" to their husbands ... as well as working 8 hours a day.
A call to their parent once or twice a week was routine but it wasn't enough."
Imagine the guilt of knowing your mother or father suffered alone for so long.
