Adult Day Health

Thursday, August 4th, 2011

Here is a letter to the editor of Times-News in today’s paper. Thank you for the kind words Christel. We are very proud of that service. Here is the link.

To The Editor: I don’t understand why Pardee Hospital does not advertise its great adult day care. Calling it Pavilion Adult Day Health Services sure doesn’t tell you that you can leave your loved one there for the day. It serves breakfast and lunch. There is a registered nurse and wonderful caregivers on duty at all times.

In case you want to check it out, it is located at 114 College Dr., Flat Rock, close to the college. The phone number is 697-7070.

This place makes my life so much easier as my husband goes three days a week.

Pardee Lifeline has been providing the Lifeline service to Henderson County for over 27 years. The service is ideal for those with high-risk medical conditions, chronic illnesses or individuals with limited mobility.  Lifeline offers other services as well, such as a speakerphone function allowing individuals to answer the telephone without using a handheld receiver and the ability to leave reminders of important things to do throughout the day.

“We are proud of the service we provide our elders, which helps them continue living in the homes they love,” says Ron Comeens, Lifeline coordinator for Pardee Hospital. “We are especially driven during this holiday season to help more at-risk elders remain independent, so that they can share in the festivities with their family and friends at home.  Holidays should be a time for celebration, not worry.”

Lifeline recently launched the new AutoAlert button featuring the only pendant-style help button that can automatically call for help if a fall is detected and a senior is unable to push his or her help button.  Operators are available to answer questions or provide assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  Lifeline also retains pertinent health history and information on who to contact in the case of an emergency, when an individual is unable to provide this information.

Subscription to this service is available for a low monthly fee, based on the types of options selected.
