How FastHelp keeps seniors out of nursing homes
We sat down with Philip Howren MD, top emergency room physician, to find out how FastHelp can help seniors stay out of nursing homes. This is what he said:
“I see it everyday, one fall or major health event and seniors land in a nursing home when just the day before they were living in their own home independently. You see in an emergency situation seconds count and a few minutes can make all the difference.
“In fact many times in the ER you can just tell when it took too long for them to get to us and they are not going home.
“One of the primary reasons I love Fast Help is that it immediately and directly connects you to highly trained emergency operators who can help you. That saves time and can be the difference between coming back home or a potentially fatal nursing home confinement.
“Another reason seniors end up in nursing homes is their family’s well-intentioned concern of losing them to an accident, heart attack, stroke or some other health issue while they are living alone. But there’s really no reason to be concerned about that because when they have Fast Help they are never alone and they are never exposed to any monthlybills.It’shelpatthepushofabuttonwheneverandwherevertheyneedit.And the best part is they get to continue living in their own homes and their families don’ t have toworry.
“Here’ s the bottom line, the Corona virus Pandemic hits seniors harder than anyone else and the numbers show the nursing home is the worst place they can be, so if I can help them keep living in their own homes with Fast Help, that’ s a win for everyone .”
