“Words can barely express how much peace of mind this service has brought to me and my family since getting it. It has allowed me to live alone, in my own home, ever since my husband’s death years ago. A wonderful service.”

“To the amazing Lifeline team, Thank you so very much for your kind attention to my dad, Jean Paul Hebert. We have had your service for many years now, since mom became ill. We thank you most sincerely.”

“The wireless service is perfect for someone like me who has a chronic illness. It lets me stay independent safely and it’s so wonderful not to have to worry about how I would get help if I have another unnoticed seizure.”

I was concerned about discharging an elderly patient because she was quite frail. I recommended a medical alert service and she finally agreed. Soon after, I learned she had fallen down some stairs, struck her head and lost consciousness. Fortunately, she was able to press her Help Button. An ambulance arrived quickly and she avoided further injury. This is such a simple apparatus but it changes the outcome of otherwise catastrophic events.

“A few years ago after my grandmother had fallen several times and was still living on her own we invested in Lifeline to ease our minds and hers. Lifeline makes us, as a family, feel safe and confident that our loved ones are always looked out for.”
Tamara Horton
Caregiver
"I’ve been a subscriber for a couple of years and it blows me away when people say they don’t need this service. Take it from me, you never know when you’ll need help. If and when you do need it, it’s great to have Lifeline.”
Lucy D.
Subscriber
"We have probably used Lifeline over the past year countless times and I have to say without fail Lifeline has been there for us in a very professional manner thus given me and my parents the confidence to go about our daily routines with without worry.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can’t the fall detections be worn on the wrist?
Our Fall Detection is designed to be the most accurate. We do that based off of height and speed. If there is a sudden decrease in height and a sudden increase in speed, the Help Button can believe a fall is taking place. People talk with their hands so it would fool the button into what is going on and may not go off when needed.
With the Home Safe Landline with Fall Detection, will you be able to get the signal from my garden? Will you be able to hear me?
The range of our Homesafe system is a 350-foot radius and is quite broad, we can receive the signal even if a client is not in the same room which usually includes the front or back yard. We would perform a range test to ensure we have set up the communicator is the best location for optimal range. We would not hear our client if they were in a backyard and windows are closed, but keep in mind verbal communication is never mandatory as a client can be 2 feet away from the speaker, and is non-verbal – as long as we receive the signal within the 350 foot radius we will contact responders/emergency services as needed to assist our clients.
How big is the button worn on the wrist? How big is the Fall detection?
The Homesafe standard button is 1 1/2 inches long, 1 inch wide, 1/2 inch thick. 2 1/2 inches long, 1.1 inches wide, 1/2 inch thick
If the Fall is detected, who do we contact first?
If the client is responsive, we will speak to them through the 2-way communicator to discuss what has happened and call responders/emergency services as needed. If the client is unresponsive, then we will try calling over the phone. If there is no answer over the phone, we will then call 911 then call the list of responders.
Is the pendant waterproof and safe to wear in the shower?
Yes. The HomeSafe standard help button can be worn while bathing or showering.
Do I need to charge the pendant?
No. You do not need to charge your HomeSafe Standard or HomeSafe with Fall Detection help button.
What happens if I accidentally press the help button?
If you accidentally press your HomeSafe button, just let the Lifeline Personal Response Associate know that you accidentally pushed your button.
Will the HomeSafe system still work if my phone line goes down?
If you use the HomeSafe Standard with Landline service, the system will not work until your landline service is restored. The communicator will continue to dial Lifeline in regular intervals (for up to 24 hours).
If you are using the HomeSafe Standard with Cellular Service, landline outages do not impact its operation because it requires a third-party cellular network connection.
Can I upgrade to a system with fall detection later?
Yes, you can upgrade to Fall Detection at any point.
Can I add additional pendants for other household members?
Yes, up to eight (8) HomeSafe pendants can be added per household.
