“To the amazing Philips 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.”

“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.”

System & Hardware
Philips Lifeline offers dependable, convenient, and purpose-built technology, assembled and tested by Lifeline. What does that mean to you? Just like how in the event of an emergency, you can get help quickly, we’re also available to monitor our equipment. It’s self-checking and notifies the Response Centre if it detects a power failure or low battery.
Personal alert button
The HomeSafe with AutoAlert help button is worn as a pendant with an adjustable neck cord. This small, discreet device includes the added protection of automatic fall detection.
In-home communicator
When you push your button or it detects a fall, it triggers your home communicator to dial our 24 hour Response Centre. When the call connects, it allows for two-way voice communication between you and the Personal Response Associate.
Powerful coverage in or around your home
Your help button has a wide range of operation, so you can call for help from anywhere in or around your home within range of the in-home Communicator.
24/7 Access to our Response Centres
Our Canadian-based, company-owned Response Centres are available 24/7, and staffed with professionally trained and caring Associates.
Uninterrupted support
Since you can wear your Lifeline Personal Help Button at all times, unlike a cell phone, it should always be easily within reach.
Two-way voice communication
Microphone and speaker built into the in-home Communicator allow you to speak directly with a Lifeline Personal Response Associate.
No long-term contract required
Flexible payment options allow for monthly credit card or paper statement billing.
No expensive equipment to buy
Our monthly fee includes a complete equipment warranty which covers ongoing maintenance and service.
Getting help quickly helps prevent further injury
Being down for more than 2 hours can increase the risk of medical problems that could be prevented by getting help quickly. A previous fall is one of the strongest predictors for recurring falls. Delayed intervention or prolonged lie times after a fall may result in secondary, serious complications that very likely require hospitalization and could be avoided by having quick access to help. HomeSafe with AutoAlert service can speed intervention and mitigate complications resulting from a fall.
AutoAlert is the most widely adopted automatic fall detection in Canada. Its superior technology is designed to automatically detect most falls – and achieve a low rate of false alarms – by distinguishing between actual falls and everyday activities like sitting, standing and reclining. It even gives you 30 seconds to cancel an alarm, or you can cancel by starting to stand back up.
One half of older adults cannot get up from a fall without help
In a study of Lifeline users, we found that seniors can’t or don’t push the button in up to 30% of serious fall emergencies. Without fall detection, senior falls can go undetected for hours, even days without receiving emergency medical attention. Philips Lifeline can help connect you to the assistance you request, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
How HomeSafe Service Works
1. Summon help
HomeSafe with AutoAlert automatically places a call for help after 30 seconds if a fall is detected and you cannot press your Personal Help Button because you are disoriented, immobilized, or unconscious after a fall.
2. Hear a reassuring voice
A caring Philips Lifeline response associate will quickly access your personal profile and assess the situation.
3. Know help is on the way
Our response associate contacts a neighbour, loved one, or emergency services – based on your preferences – and will follow up to make sure help has arrived.
