NORTHWOOD IN TOUCH
Our club is a satellite for Northwood In Touch, a personal response system to be used in emergencies. We install and service two different units, one that is used in conjunction with the regular telephone, and one that replaces the regular telephone. This unit has personal reminders that can be programmed into the unit, such as reminding the client to take medication, when a home care worker is coming, etc. As well as being a valuable service activity, this is a fund-raiser for our club as we get fees for installation and monthly maintenance per unit.
For additional information about these units, contact:
