I'm completing this on behalf of my mum. I'm absolutely delighted with the service from Lifeline. When setting it up every single person was friendly and helpful. It's the same with my 90 year old father in law, when we do the monthly check the staff are always very pleasant and the calls are answered speedily. It gives me and my family great piece of mind and at a very reasonable cost too. Very satisfied so far!

Ordered Friday afternoon and arrived Saturday morning, easy to set up with clear instructions. Purchased for my Father, I spoke to him today(Monday) and he's quite happy with it and hardly knows he's wearing it.
