10 reasons to choose Lifeline Medical Alert Service

Dr. Rein Tideiksaar, PhD, ElderCare Senior Vice President for Program Development, Fall Prevention and Injury Reduction Systems says, "It's my clinical impression that when individuals at risk are given Lifeline, their mobility actually seems to improve."

Philips Lifeline Medical Alert Service is a sensible solution in many instances. Here are 10 reasons why we believe you should choose Lifeline:

1. Lifeline may give you greater independence
   The ability to call for medical assistance 24/7 may allow you to remain in your home and live more independently. 
    
2. Lifeline is simple to use
   One press of your Personal Help Button and you can summon help. Hands-free communication with our Lifeline Personal Response Associates is possible via a speaker built into the CarePartner communication device. 
    
3. Lifeline Personal Response Associates are carefully trained
   Every Personal Response Associate gets a basic education in gerontology so they are more sensitive toward each customer - ready to deal knowledgeably and supportively with a medical emergency. 
    
4. Lifeline Personal Response Associates stay on the phone line through to the end of the event
   From the moment your call is answered, the Lifeline Personal Response Associate stays in continual voice contact with you until help has arrived and a decision has been made as to what type of assistance to provide. 
    
5. Your doctor is notified if you have an incident
   In the event of an incident, a report is generated and sent to a third party of your choice. i.e. primary care physician or home healthcare nurse. Those you’ve charged with your care are kept up-to-date regarding your situation. 
    
6. There is no contract commitment with Lifeline
   The Lifeline service costs little more than a dollar a day, there are no hidden costs, no long-term contracts, and you may discontinue Lifeline at any time. 
    
7. Lifeline helps many different types of people
   Lifeline works well for the elderly, but is also very useful for older people who live alone, those recovering from an operation, patients with chronic diseases (such as heart disease), even for older caregivers themselves – those who look after a spouse or loved one. 
    
8. Lifeline has a history of exemplary service
   Lifeline has been providing medical alert services to the general public for more than 30 years. When it comes to experience, Philips Lifeline has it. 
    
9. Lifeline has a large professional staff
   Lifeline's Response Centers, with a staff of over 250 people, are certified and specially trained to provide the right support. 
    
10. Lifeline Medical Alert Service is trusted
    Lifeline is trusted by healthcare professionals and caregivers across the country service.
