Lifeline – Personal Emergency Response

Personal emergency response service for people who want help available at the press of a button. A wearable pendant or wrist button connects to a 24/7 monitoring centre, and some devices can detect falls automatically. Lifeline, by Philips, is a paid monthly subscription - call to ask about pricing and setup. Vancouver seniors leaving hospital may qualify for a free device and monitoring through the Lifelines for Seniors program, run by Vancouver Firefighter Charities via the STAT Centre at UBC Hospital - ask a hospital discharge planner about a referral.
