Elder care is a major challenge
in India as many of us struggle with our own hectic lives and busy schedules.
More of us live in nuclear families, often in different cities to our older
parents. This robs them of the traditional family support which kicked in
during medical emergencies – from calling an ambulance to helping with
hospitalisation. In India, more than 33 percent of accidents
and falls involving senior citizens occur at home. But
what happens if no one is at home and your elderly
mother has a fall or your father has a stroke? Such worries
affect millions of Indians concerned about the welfare of their older parents
who are increasingly living alone.

Tribeca Care,
Eastern India’s largest Elder Care Company, has announced the launch of yet
another unique service - “Tribeca Senior Emergency Alarm”. The
Senior Alarm, which can be worn as a wristband or pendant or bracelet, will
dial pre-chosen numbers at the push of a button - even if the older citizen is
in no position to make a phone call himself. Most importantly, the call will be
monitored by “Tribeca 24/7 Bharosa Helpline” and an emergency response
protocol will be immediately activated. This includes arranging for ambulances,
letting family members know, helping with hospitalization and, if required, a
Tribeca Care Manager accompanying the patient to the hospital itself. Tribeca Care’s full-service Emergency Response offering provides
Senior Citizens and their families complete Peace of Mind.
Tribeca’s basic Emergency
Response services, currently available only in Kolkata, start at a monthly
subscription cost of Rs 250/month. The 12-month contract can also be upgraded
for other value-added Elder Care packages. This service will soon be available
in New Delhi and other key cities.
