GBI 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.

GBVery helpful during emergency The LifeFone was great. During an emergency I didn't have to call the family members because they were notified from the moment that button was pushed until the ambulance got to the hospital. It was also great that they were able to call the ambulance while I kept my grandmother calm and gathered the necessary things for a trip to the hospital. The only reason why we cancelled the plan was because my grandmother passed away and it was no longer needed.

GBMy mom used her lifefone pendant and… My mom used her lifefone pendant and immediately got a response. She told the call center she was in distress. They dispatched and ambulance to her home then proceeded to call the family. Unfortunately each member couldn’t be spoken with directly and a message was left. The ambulance arrived open her door using the key lock door box assisted her and took her to the hospital. She was OK due to their quick action. My only “complaint “ is the call showed on my phone as central station, not lifefone. I was on my way into a meeting and did not answer. Wishing it said Lifefone I would have answered immediately as would have my brother. Regardless my mom is fine due to Lifefone’s quick response. Thank you

GBOn 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.

GBResponse 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.
