Visiting Nurse Association

When you experience a fall, medical issue, or other emergency, every second counts. If you are alone, delayed medical care can jeopardize your recovery and your independence! The Philips Lifeline Medical Alert Service provides simple, fast access to help 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Lifeline, the #1 medical alert service:

Is trusted by thousands of hospitals

Is recommended by over 65,000 healthcare professionals

Has helped provide more than 6 million people with the peace of mind and confidence to help maintain independent living

Lifeline Options:

Option 1: Lifeline

Our standard service includes your choice of a pendant or wrist style Help Button. When help is needed, simply push the button at any time.

Option 2: Lifeline withAutoAlert

In addition to letting you push the button for help at any time, our enhanced service includes a pendant style button that automatically places a call for help if a fall is detected and you can’t push your button.

How the Lifeline Service works:

* Summon help- Simply push your Lifeline Help Button at any time to connect to our 24/7 Response Center. (If you have our Lifeline with AutoAlert option, you will get an added layer of protection, as your AutoAlert Help Button will automatically place a call for help if a fall is detected and you are unable to push your button.)

* Hear a reassuring voice- A Lifeline Response Associate will access your profile and assess the situation.

* Know help is on the way- Our Associate will contact a neighbor, loved one, or emergency service based on your specific needs, and will follow up to confirm that help has arrived.
