How AutoAlert Works
20
Lifeline services are essential to independent
living

• Prepare for improved safety at home by asking
• If you were to fall tonight, how would you get
  up?
• If you couldnt get up, how would you get help?
• How will you manage your medications when no one
  is there to help?

20
21
Referring is simple

• 1. Introduce Lifeline services to your patients
  with a brochure and explain why you feel the
  service would help them.
• 2. Call Lifeline with the patient (or caregiver)
  contact information and your name.

We will take care of all the rest!
