We were pleased to have the opportunity this week to demonstrate how IndeeLift enables safe and easy fall recovery to the Oshkosh, WI community in conjunction with Rebuilding Together Fox Valley and the Oshkosh Fire Department! IndeeLift is making a huge impact on the management of fall recovery. The rate of falls in the U.S. poses a serious issue not only for seniors, but for the wider community as a whole. Many seniors are forced to rely on emergency medical services to help them up after a fall. This places a massive burden on emergency departments, who must regularly spend time and money responding to lift-assist calls. Studies have shown that the use of EMS for fall-related calls has substantial financial consequences, and takes EMS availability away from more urgent calls. #ems #assistedliving #nursinghome #homecare #falls #firedepartment #caregivers

Exciting news! The Orange County Fire Rescue Department (#OCFRD), in collaboration with the Gunner Martin Foundation (@the_gunner_martin_foundation), is thrilled to introduce a groundbreaking initiative aimed at enhancing community safety: the provision of complimentary door alarms to local residents. These state-of-the-art alarms are designed to serve as a vital barrier against potential water-related accidents by promptly alerting guardians or caregivers the moment a door leading to a body of water is opened. To take advantage of this life-saving opportunity and schedule an installation, please visit OCFL.net/DoorAlarms. Together, let’s ensure a safer environment for all! 😊 #OrangeCountyFireRescue #GunnerMartinFoundation #DoorAlarms #WaterSafety #CommunitySafety #CentralFlorida #SafetyFirst #HomeInstallation #Prevention #AlertSystems #Partnership #SafetyInitiative #CommunitySupport #Alerts #Caregivers #ResidentialSafety #OCFL #SafetyCampaign #LifeSavingInitiative

Every year, an estimated 87 children drown in the home, two-thirds of which occur in bathtubs.
