Senior Focus, a bright yellow box, has a simple but important mission: to save time in emergencies. The box is placed in the refrigerator to reassure elderly people and guide emergency responders.
In the event of a fall, loss of consciousness, accident or disappearance, the emergency services immediately know where to find the necessary information to intervene quickly and efficiently.
Senior Focus, how does it work?
- The senior citizen (aged 65+ or with reduced autonomy) receives a complete kit: bright yellow box, questionnaires and sticker.
- The senior citizen (or a relative) fills in the form with medical and administrative details.
- The box is placed in the refrigerator door, in a clearly visible place.
- The sticker is affixed to the refrigerator door. It indicates the presence of the box.
- In an emergency, the emergency services see the sticker and can quickly access the information.
