Enter the personal emergency response systems off ered through Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES). A Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) is a compact medical alert device worn by a consumer as a bracelet or pendant that, when the button is pushed, connects the consumer with assistance in the instance of a fall, medical issue, fi re or other emergency. There is also a PERS unit that must be placed in the home that connects that consumer to the emergency response center. A Shown from left to right are Lieutenant Eric J. Provitola, Captain Timothy K.

A warm welcome was given to family and friends in attendance. City Council President Neal Anderson, Councillor-at-Large Stephen Winslow and Ward 7 Councillor Jadeane Sica were present for the event. Sullivan offered remarks and Haskell invited family members to offi cially pin the promoted offi cers and new members. Firefi ghter David P. O’Connor was promoted to Lieutenant; Lieutenant Timothy K. Robblee was promoted to Captain; and Firefi ghter Eric J. Provitola was promoted to Lieutenant. Firefighters Zachary Defaria, Gene-Andrew Ouellette, Daniel Trentsch, Daniel Arzate Aguilar and Ralph Thelemaque were offi cially welcomed to the department. Fire Dept. welcomes five firefighters, promotes three officers PERS has three components: a small radio transmitter (the device that you have with you), a console connected to your telephone, and an emergency response center that monitors calls. One in four Americans aged 65 and over falls each year, according to the National Council on Aging. Every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in the emergency room for a fall; every 19 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall. Falls are the leading cause of fatal injury and the most common cause of nonfatal trauma-related hospital and nursing home admissions among older adults. There’s no magic wand for completely preventing falls, so it’s crucial to provide immediate help when a fall does occur. PERS can off er tremendous peace of mind for elders wanting to stay living safely in the community. Vincenza Joy, 97, of Revere, recently described the invaluable benefi ts of having a PERS in the home: “I am on my own a lot so wearing my PERS bracelet makes me feel safe and secure. I value my independence and want to remain living at home. I highly recommend these systems for other seniors.” To learn more about PERS, please contact MVES at 781324-7705.
