Independence in Retirement With the Help Of Lifeline
One aspect of retirement planning and living that seems to come up in almost every conversation I have with people is the desire to “age in place” — to be able to continue to be independent and stay in one’s own home. This is an important desire of many retirees.
I recently saw an article posted on www.accessnorthGa.com about a woman is has been able to hold on to her independence and remain in her own home to the age of 101 and counting! This is a terrific accomplishment. Ms. Barr is able to feel safe and connected while remaining independent because she signed up for the Lifeline medical alert system.

She simply wears a waterproof necklace with a unique pendant. The pendant is a button that summons help when pressed. She doesn’t even need to worry about being able to get to a phone to call 911.
There are several products and programs of this kind that can help retirees remain in their own homes and retain their independence. If you live alone or if you are at home alone for extended periods of time, or even if you have a medical condition that could require emergency medical assistance, you might want to look into some of the options.
