Catholic Health Home Response

Fast help at the touch of a button. Giving you peace of mind 24/7

Catholic Health’s Home Response Medical Alarm System is your direct link to emergency help 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week. With just a push of a button, you’ll be instantly connected to highly-trained and experienced emergency response specialists who can send help quickly. No matter what your emergency is, someone will always be there for you.

Freedom To Live Independently

For seniors, individuals with medical conditions, or anyone with physical challenges, the Home Response Medical Alarm System lets you keep your independence. You can live at home feeling safer and more secure. You’re free to go about your day knowing you’re always in touch with someone who can help.

In the event of a power loss, Home Response battery backup provides up to 32 hours of continuous operation. The console self-tests weekly to ensure it’s working properly if, or when, you need it.


Sharing The Caring

Family members and caregivers also feel more confident with Home Response, especially those who don’t live close enough to offer immediate assistance.

The average response time is less than 45 seconds.

When you can’t be there for a loved one in need, our nearby Emergency Response Center makes sure help is on the way. Your parent or relative will feel reassured, and so will you.

Easy To Use

With Home Response, there are no complicated controls or confusing machinery. Simply push the emergency button on the console or on your personal transmitter.

A signal is sent to the Emergency Response Center where a trained operator will speak to you through the console. If you cannot be heard, the operator will send help immediately.

Special QuikConnect Feature

With the QuikConnect feature, you will be able to answer incoming phone calls with just a touch of your Home Response personal help button. Once the call is answered, you can carry on a normal phone conversation by speaking toward your Home Response unit.

QuikConnect can help alleviate the danger of subscribers hurrying to answer their phones and possibly incurring a fall in the process. It is a great feature for those recovering from surgery or persons with mobility issues.

Best of all, it is easy to use:

  • When the phone rings, press your Home Response personal help button.
  • Turn towards the monitor — even if it is in another room.
  • Start the conversation and let the caller know that you are speaking to them through your unit. If you want to switch to your own phone, just pick up the receiver and press your button to disconnect from the speaker and resume conversation through your own phone.

 Your personal transmitter is available in pendant or wristwatch style. You can even wear it in the shower.

Easy To Afford

How much would you pay for around-the-clock peace of mind? Catholic Health Home Response can protect you for slightly more than a dollar a day! For those who qualify, a reduced rate is available with our sliding fee scale (application upon request).
