Bought this as a bit of peace of mind for my brother and me . So far Mum has not had to use it but she has inadvertently caught the call button. Immediately they have contacted her and dealt with the mishap with good humour and professionalism. The unit came less than 24 hours from purchase and took very little time for set up. Very pleased.

The lifeline was delivered the next day as promised and was very easy to set up - my mother (and her family) now have peace of mind that she can retain her independence whilst being able to summon help immediately should she need to.
