What is Lifeline?

Lifeline is an easy-to-use personal response service that ensures that older adults living at home receive quick assistance whenever it is needed, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Why Do I Need Lifeline?

Life is unpredictable. An unexpected fall or medical emergency could threaten your future health if help is delayed. Lifeline provides peace of mind for you and your family.

The service is simple to use. When you need help, you just press the waterproof Personal Help Button you wear as a pendant or wristband. Within seconds, a certified Lifeline professional responds, assesses the situation and summons appropriate help, whether it is a neighbor, relative or ambulance.

Lifeline is not just for medical emergencies. The service also allows you to:

• Answer the telephone without having to rush to grab a handset or risk falling
• Maintain your peace of mind of knowing that help is just a press-of-the-button away
• Enjoy a stronger sense of well-being

How much does the service cost? For a little more than a dollar a day, you receive the Lifeline Personal Response Service. You are not required to buy any equipment or make a long-term commitment.
