RightCare has had an immediate impact on the residents of Public Housing. Shortly before RightCare hosted the Immediate Resuscitation Accreditation Program at one of our sites a resident was able to save her distressed neighbor by providing Immediate Resuscitation until emergency services arrived. This event inspired other residents to attend the training. Even more residents who attended the class have been empowered with the emergency techniques to care for others in an emergency situation.
It is not uncommon at many of our Senior Housing sites for a resident to collapse with a need for resuscitation. RightCare provides training that initiates the emergency system prior to first responder arrival which increases the chances for survival. We look forward to more classes at our sites and the increased safety of the residents in Public Housing.
