Risk for Senior Fatalities

2.5 Times Higher in Home

 

Independent Older Adults Lose Precious

Time in a Fire Emergency if Their Smoke Alarm Doesn’t Quickly Wake Them Up

 

More and more older adults are enjoying independent living,

but there are also greater risks. For seniors 75 years old or older, the risk of fire death skyrockets to three and a half times the national average.

As large numbers of baby boomers grow older, the need for better senior home safety grows more urgent.

Normal elderly health issues include reduced mobility and loss of hearing sensitivity (more than one third of people over the age of 65 are hearing impaired). This is a deadly combination in a fire emergency, especially at night when most fatalities from fire occur.

The seconds it takes to wake an older adult are critical because they need the maximum margin of time to escape safely. Order a Lifetone HL™ Bedside Fire Alarm and Clock today and begin enjoying the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have the best technology available to help you wake up in a home fire emergency, when every second counts.

The Lifetone HL uses the alarm sound proven

most effective at waking people in a fire emergency

Controlled scientific tests have demonstrated that the standard high frequency smoke alarm tone is not the most effective at waking people in at-risk groups such as older adults. Instead, a special low frequency signal like the one used in the Lifetone HL Bedside Fire Alarm and Clock woke people up in about one-third of the time on average (and many woke up much faster). In fact, the average time it took the standard smoke alarm signal to wake people up was three minutes – a full minute longer than the time experts say you have to already be out of the house!

Seniors need a better chance to escape safely from a nighttime fire
