St. James Mercy Health provides a telephone-based emergency response system called LIFELINE. This system links an individual at home to 24-hour a day, seven days a week emergency assistance. LIFELINE is an emergency telephone communication system for those who are elderly, medically frail or who live alone. With the push of a button, help is available 24 hours a day.
The LIFELINE system consists of a home communicator unit attached to the subscriber’s telephone and a personal call button worn by the subscriber. In the event of an emergency, the subscriber pushes their personal call button. This activates an Emergency Response Center trained emergency attendant who assesses the subscriber's needs. If necessary, the attendant will contact the appropriate responders designated by the subscriber.
The standard Lifeline service includes a choice of a pendant or wrist-style "Help Button." The enhanced Lifeline service includes a pendant-style button that automatically places a call for help if a fall is detected and the subscriber can’t push the button.
Proudly serving Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chemung, Steuben and Schuyler counties for more than 25 years.
For more information, phone (607) 324-8139 between 7:30 am and 4:00 pm Monday through Friday.
