What is a Lifeline Alarm?
The Lifeline Alarm unit is connected into a standard phone socket and an electric socket. It provides a 24-hour link to a team of trained operators at a control centre.
The alarm works by pressing a button on the unit, or a pendant that you can wear. You can then talk to an operator at the control centre. The operator will then contact a family member, friend or neighbour, nominated by you, who has a key to your home. If necessary, the operator can contact your doctor, the police or an ambulance.
What is the cost?
There is a small installation fee and a monthly rental charge. The Lifeline Alarm service is provided at the lowest possible price.
The only additional cost of using the alarm is the cost of the phone call when you press the alarm button.
