Easy and quick to order. Arrived next day as expected allowing my daughter to set up and test before returning home. Giving her and me peace of mind that I was safe if anything untoward should happen

So far so good, we have only had it some 40 hours but the tests were very reassuring , and my mother has some confidence back after she fell and was on the floor for some 8 hours , which prompted me to order lifeline 24 , hopefully it will continue to as good if needed in a real life emergency

Only thought is not everyone wants do to direct debit and my mum at 85 not hardly being computer savvy baffles them. With the age group that you are likely to be dealing with. Just give alternative of one off card payment and a letter to address about 1 month before annual subscription due.
