Personal Emergency Response System  
Voice Care is a personal emergency system which connects an individual at home by telephone to a monitoring center 24-hours a day.  Each system contains two components: a console box and activator, which is typically worn as a pendant around the neck.  When assistance is needed, the user pushes the button on the activator and is connected within seconds to a monitoring center operator.  The operator responds by sending the necessary help.  This service is available throughout the Delaware Valley. 

Home Delivered Meals  
This affiliated agency provides home delivered meals to adults who are having difficulty with meal preparation due to health problems.  The dinner consists of a protein source, vegetable and starch, and is served with bread, juice, milk, and dessert.  The service area includes neighborhoods in Northwest, North and West Philadelphia.
