"It's important that someone comes and installs the equipment, that the device isn't just mailed to them. Seniors need relationships and human voices." 

- Geriatric Nurse Specialist

Victoria Lifeline offers these important service features for your patients:

  • Personalized service - a local Home Service Representative will install the equipment and demonstrate how it works. Our caring staff will arrange the installation appointment as quickly as possible.

  • The ability to answer an incoming telephone call by pressing the Personal Help Button, so patients don’t risk a fall rushing to the phone.*

  • Equipment that self-identifies when servicing is required. If the battery needs replacing in the button for example, the Response Centre will receive a low-battery signal and we will call the client to schedule a service appointment.

  • Advanced fall detection technology. The AutoAlert button is designed to call for help automatically if a fall is detected and your patient is injured, immobilized or unconscious.

  • A Response Centre that can answer a help call in multiple languages. The Response Centre has access to a language bank and can respond in over 120 languages.

  • A waterproof button for patients to wear in the bath or shower, a common place for household slips and falls.

  • A response protocol that ensures a call isn’t closed until help arrives in the client’s home. Your patients are never left wondering if help is coming when they need it the most.

  • A medical alert service that is part of a hospital foundation and integrated into the healthcare system. Local support means better service for your patients.

  • Patients feel confident knowing Victoria Lifeline’s representatives are nearby if they need help or have questions.

*Available with the 6000 series communicator units.
