Chris KueblerVerla and Lou
Verla and Lou have lived in their beautiful home overlooking Fremont Lake for 32 years. Lou loves to garden, and for most of their lives, they camped and traveled while living an active, healthy lifestyle. Displayed on the walls are mugs from all 50 states, which they acquired on their travels throughout the years.
About three years ago, Lou had some kidney surgeries and ended up spending six weeks at Green Acres of Fremont for some post-surgery rehab. It was there they first learned of LifeLink services available through TrueNorth.
They live in a single story, ranch home, because as Verla put it; “We knew the older age was coming up on us. We didn’t want any steps… well, we have two steps and I thought ‘that’s pretty good, that’s safe’… it wasn’t safe enough though…” she said, referring to a recent fall Lou suffered.
Verla says having the LifeLink unit provides both of them peace of mind and she recommends it to others. “Every time he goes outside (to garden), he has it on.”
LifeLink units are designed to help people retain their independence and remain at home for as long as they are safely able to, knowing help is only the push of a button away. That is exactly what Verla and Lou are counting on.
