Loretto Health Support Lifeline

A collaborative effort of Loretto and Franciscan Health Management, Lifeline is an easy-to-use, personal response service that gives older adults living at home the peace of mind in knowing that assistance is only a button-push away; 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When a senior needs help, he or she can just push the Personal Help Button they are wearing either as a pendant or wristband. Within seconds, a caring certified Lifeline monitor responds, assesses the situation and summons appropriate help; whether it's a neighbor, relative or ambulance.

Lifeline is not just for medical emergencies. It can also be used to answer the telephone without rushing to grab a handset and risking a fall. With Lifeline, older adults and those with limiting medical conditions can have a stronger sense of well being. Their families can also rest assured that help will be immediate. To learn more about Lifeline, call (315) 492-8175 weekdays between 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or after hours at 800-852-5433.

PACE CNY

With the impending retirement of the Baby Boom generation, experts believe the PACE model represents the future of eldercare in the United States. Services are provided in the PACE CNY day center, participants homes and a hospital or long-term care facility, if needed. Because PACE offers services through a capitated program rather than fee for service, the financial risk of a higher level of service is assumed by the provider, not the participant.

Individuals can receive any number or combination of services based on the individual care plan developed jointly by the treatment team and participant. Services provided include:

Home Care
Personal Care Services
Personal Emergency Response System
Meals on Wheels
End of Life Care

Diagnostic Procedures
Emergency Care
Rehabilitation Services
Nursing Care
Prescription Drugs
Medical Equipment
