Lifeline Medical Alert System
Peace of Mind for You and Your Loved Ones
The Senior Health Department at VHC Health is committed to helping older adults live safely and independently. Since 1991, we have been offering the Lifeline Medical Alert System to provide immediate around-the-clock aid in the event of an emergency.
24-hour emergency assistance
A fully-staffed, multi-lingual response team is always ready to help in any situation at any hour.
Two-way voice communication
At the touch of a button, you’ll be able to speak to a trained care specialist via your in-home communicator, wristband or pendant.
Personalized response plan
Get the help you choose. Your Lifeline operator will contact a designated friend, neighbor, family member or contact your local 911.
Fall detection service
Even if you can’t push your button, Lifeline is able to detect falls. You will automatically be connected to a specialist who will send help if needed.
Water-resistant wearable button
Unlike a cell phone, help is always with you since you wear your Lifeline Personal Help Button. Even in the shower, where falls are most common.
Hands-on installation and maintenance
VHC Health hospital staff provides one-to-one set-up and maintenance of the Lifeline unit. And we are always available for questions.
Which system is right for you?
HomeSafe
Lifeline’s in-home communicators have been providing safety and security as the #1 medical alert system since 1971.
On the Go
Whether you’re in the kitchen or at the supermarket, the GPS locator in your wearable pendant gets you the help you need.
Smartwatch
Support your healthy, active lifestyle while keeping you connected to assistance 24/7 365. GPS tracking ensures you have quick access to a trained response specialist anytime, anywhere.
Would a medical alert system bring you peace of mind?
TAKE OUR QUIZ
"Lifeline has come to my rescue two to three times. I tell them to please alert my family and they do."
- Bernice Mussey, Springfield, 7 years with VHC Lifeline
"Lifeline means a lot. I fell in the driveway while checking my mail. Lifeline arranged for an ambulance to pick me up. I wear my Lifeline pendant all the time. I don’t have the balance that I used to, and I feel reassured wearing it."
- Doris Eichorn, McLean, 14 years with VHC Lifeline
"Lifeline is my way of connecting with my medical team in an emergency. I live alone and without Lifeline I would be on the floor for days. I recommend it for anyone that lives alone, especially if you have medical issues."
- Angela Oliver, Herndon, 2 years with VHC Lifeline
"Lifeline has provided me great peace of mind as I continue to live alone in my home of 50 years. I am grateful for Lifeline and recommend that other seniors, especially those with chronic illness, consider obtaining one. The people who monitor the Lifeline program are very professional and friendly."
- George Ruppert, Arlington, 5 years with VHC Lifeline
"As someone that lives alone, Lifeline provides me peace of mind knowing that I can get help when I need it. Help is available right away with Lifeline."
