Piper Lifeline
If you are a senior citizen or otherwise have a lack of mobility or suffer from serious health problems and live in Cullompton you may wish to consider whether a Piper Lifeline Unit would benefit you. Our funds are limited but we try to assist with the cost of these invaluable aids to independence and security.
Do you live alone?
Do you worry about how you would summon help if you had an accident in your home?
Or, do you know someone who would answer yes to the above questions?
With Piper Lifeline, when you need assistance you simply press the button on the unit or the body-worn pendant. This sends a signal through to the control centre where the operator will respond to your call. Even if you cannot speak, the computer system will identify who you are, where you live and the operator will call one of your chosen contacts. The control centre operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year.
Provision of ‘Piper’ units are at present made to over 70 homes in the Parish.
Applications to be made to the Clerk accompanied by a letter from your GP, this is normal procedure if there is a real need your GP will happily provide a letter.
