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.

Response is great, but pendant battery life is subpar When the button is pressed, a representative engages right away to check in on the customer. One time when my mom didn't answer, the police department was sent to check in. I appreciate this level of response. One area of improvement is the battery life of the pendant. It needs to be charged almost every day, which is poor compared to the quoted 5 days.

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.

I’m 89 years old and live alone I’m 89 years old and live alone. In October, I fell on my back deck and couldn’t get up. Fortunately I had my LifeFone around my neck and pressed my button and told the operator to call my daughter and quickly received help from a friend who lived close by. I wear mine whenever I’m alone and feel confident that I can get help if and when I may need it. Best decision to get LifeFone when I did.
