Arrived very quickly, next day delivery. Easy to install. Had a little trouble getting the wrist operation up and running, but staff very helpful on the helpline. Gives brother and I peace of mind that if Dad were to have a fall we would be notified quickly.

Prompt delivery , easy set up and excellent service.It’s given me more confidence knowing that help is only a call away for my Mum, especially when she is very isolated in the pandemic.

Fantastic service. Couldn’t ask for more. I know first hand how good the service is as my dad had a fall and within minutes lifeline had called for an ambulance and had notified me about it. Lifeline then called me back to check on how my dad was. Very happy to have this for both my parents.
