I have had LifeFone for several years… I have had LifeFone for several years and have a problem with frequent falls, due to a balance disorder. I had to use my emergency button probably five or six times a year. LifeFone staff have been incredibly helpful, kind, and efficient. They also call my emergency contacts right away, to let them know what is happening. I could not be happier with their service and their kindness and their equipment.

On some tests or accidental… On some tests or accidental activations, ie, my cat stepping on the base button, it took a bit longer for a response than what i felt the time lapse should be. Except for about twice, the rest of the test response times were great, what i felt was acceptable although it really doesnt matter much as the rescue is at least ten minutes away. If a different unit has to answer than from the closest it can be 30-45 minutes away, so im likely dead anyway. The price one pays for quiet, secluded retirement living.

Not totally reliable Fall pendant does not always trigger emergency services. Seems to trigger false alarms but on 3 occasions when a fall actually did occur the fall was not detected. It would help if service worked on wifi also. Cell service in my home is spotty.

LifeFone bracelet… My mother had a LifeFone bracelet 4years ago, which the staff helped save her life. My mother recently tried the new bracelet VIP flex and was happy it was a simple push button - but we unfortunately had to return it as it kept flashes and wasn’t keeping the charge due the signal was weak in her area. Other than this we’ve always appreciated LifeFone’s services.

Peace of Mind for our loved one I did a lot of research before choosing a unit for our mother and am very pleased with the LifeFone system. She is still very active and we wanted something that would be with her all the time yet not become cumbersome. We liked the VIPX because she wears it as a necklace and it travels wherever she goes. We had the option of AT&T or Verizon as the carrier and also chose to have the fall protection feature. LifeFone is a little more expensive than some but the peace of mind we have is well worth it.
