Why have a 24/7
On-call Safety Net?
The elder care system is confusing. All it takes is something as simple as a fall, and your normally healthy life gets turned upside down. While physicians are experts in injury and illness, they don't know you and what's important to you day-to-day.
The 24/7 On Call Safety Net Program gives you peace of mind that in an emergency, an expert on aging—someone who knows your conditions, your priorities and your goals—will be available to help you communicate with the ER staff so you receive the care you want for the quality of life you deserve.
We cut through the bureaucracy and medical-ese to be sure you are offered the full range of choices, in the hospital and afterwards if you need follow-up care.
Join our 24/7 On Call Safety Net program so you can rest easy knowing you have an advocate in your corner when you need one most.
