Our History.
In 1985, The Victoria Hospital created a unique, non-profit program dedicated to enhancing the health of both its employees and the community in South Winnipeg.
This mandate included helping seniors live at home for as long as possible and
in May of 1988, the Victoria Lifeline Medical Alert service officially opened its doors. The Response Centre was actually located right in the Emergency Department at the hospital.
The goal of the service from the outset was to build a
healthier community, which meant supporting the independence and well-being of seniors and people living with disabilities.
A positive side effect of the program was the impact it had on caregivers – they worried less knowing their
loved one could depend on Victoria Lifeline in a medical emergency.
Over 35 years later.
That goal remains the same. And while we’ve outgrown our space in the hospital’s emergency room, we are still a community service of the Victoria Hospital Foundation with the same mandate.
We are now proud to offer service to over
350 Manitoba communities and have partnered with Lifeline Canada to ensure our clients have access to the best technology. Even though we now have over 6,000 clients, to us, you are still a part of this family.
Helping Our Community
We’ve helped over 60,000 people since 1988. The service also helps reduce Hospital Admissions by 26%.
Proceeds are reinvested through the Victoria Hospital Foundation to help advance healthcare in our community.
Our Subsidy Program helps over 360 people a year get Lifeline who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford such services.
Quality. Reliability. Innovation.
With our partnership with Lifeline Canada, we offer top-of-the-line products including the award-winning fall detection button, and the On the Go mobile service.
Our
calls are answered 'live' by highly trained Lifeline Personal Response Associates, ensuring prompt and professional service. Lifeline's Response Centre staff undergo extensive training, with 120 hours dedicated to quick client assessment during emergencies.
A community service of the
Victoria Hospital Foundation.
All of our proceeds are reinvested through the Foundation to advance healthcare at the hospital and through innovative community projects. Lifeline has continuously raised money for the Foundation. Learn more about current projects at the Victoria Hospital Foundation!
That's what sets us apart.
Our commitment to our community.
With that in mind, we know there are many medical alert services to choose from today, but not all of them are the same. When deciding which one is right for you and your family, it’s important to know the differences between the services and products
available.
You want to be sure you are using the most dependable equipment that is installed correctly by a trained representative.
To help you evaluate other medical alert services, Victoria Lifeline has
put together a list of important questions to ask any potential service provider.
