LifeFone Performed Dependably During a Medical Crisis
Sometime in early morning, my father became dizzy, suffered a bad blow to his head, and collapsed on the ground breaking his hip. He was able to press the LifeFone medical alert, but couldn't be understood verbally. They phoned me immediately and contacted an ambulance per my request, providing them with a code to his lock box to gain entry into his home. They stayed in contact with me, updating me, which was helpful since I was still 20 minutes away, and they were able to make re-contact with my father and informed me of their brief conversation. LifeFone handled this serious situation perfectly and professionally, and I am very grateful for their rapid and regular communication with my father, myself, and the ambulance service. Their responsiveness was invaluable in saving my father's life.

Notifications worked exactly as we’d hoped
When my elder relative activated her alert, I received a “ live” phone call and explanation of steps taken - and all contacts received appropriate timely calls/texts. Notifications Worked - exactly as we would hope. And relative is fine, now with good confidence that her system works.

I actually used the Life Life Foneu when I fell in April 2025. I got help right away, thank God. After two years, I needed a new pendant. Sean was very helpful in explaining how to activate the new equipment. He was patient, kind, and professional. I was very grateful to deal with someone who took the time to explain matters to me. Sean is an angel! Life Fone is very lucky to have such a wonderful employee!

Every time I test my lifephone device I get an answer. Although it is a interactive recording it still knows who I am and where I live. I'm happy with life phone.

My 96 yr old aunt appreciates the kindness of operators. They listened to her and called numbers she asked at least twice before answered.
Caller ID could have been better because it showed a number from Utah not lifelong so didn't answer on first call.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re happy to hear that your aunt has felt supported and listened to by our operators—that care and attentiveness are exactly what we strive for.

That way, you can program them into your phone for easier recognition in the future. We’re grateful for your feedback and glad to be part of your aunt’s safety and support system.
The check in call is always pleasant and prompt. Mom has set it off many times by accident, so the call has minimized unnecessary visits from emergency personnel. The callers are always calm and appropriate. Not judgemental for accidental pushing of the button.

Customer service has been great. The few times I have needed to call about something, they walked through the problem with me to solve it. They even encouraged me to call back a few hours later, while they were still on duty to make sure that everything worked.

We have had lifefone for several years now. We have been happy with them, but we haven’t had any emergency so it’s truly hard to evaluate how they would be in an emergency. But when we do a monthly check, there is always a quick response and if we mistakingly Press the button, we get a voice that asks if we are OK so that’s all good. I would say there are other organizations that have less expensive programs so I would like them to be not as expensive as they are.

We got a Lifefone for a 95 year old…
We got a Lifefone for a 95 year old friend. Within the first 10 days she used it multiple times. The response time was great and communication was clear. We had to return it after 2 weeks as she was hospitalized and moved to a home. Ordering and returning was easy and phone calls were answered and helpful. I would definitely recommend the company and product.

Your kind recommendation means a great deal to us, and we appreciate the trust you placed in LifeFone.
My only concern with the unit is that it's GPS is not exact and it's address location. For example when at the vet recently and only told you all that I was on Highland Avenue. It did not say that I was at Highland Animal Hospital. I wonder what the future technology and you'll be able to hone down the location of the emergency. Thank you so much
Reply from LifeFone2025-05-20
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! You bring up an important point—while GPS-equipped devices use technology to help determine your location, current GPS systems do have limitations. GPS works by collecting signals from satellites through a process called trilateration, but factors like being inside a building or signal obstruction can affect precision. This means it may not always identify the exact address, floor, or business name—such as the animal hospital you mentioned. We’re always monitoring advancements in location technology and look forward to improvements that will provide even more accuracy in the future. We truly appreciate your feedback and thank you for choosing LifeFone!
I’ve been using this Product for over five years now. My mom is 93 years old and lives in her home. It gives my mom and us peace of mind. They do a great job. I highly recommend their service.

I was alerted twice during the first month with LifeFone. Both times, my mom needed paramedics. She was short of breath and activated the system independently the first time. The second time, LifeFone detected a fall. What a relief to have them on board!
Reply from LifeFone2025-04-16
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with LifeFone. We're so happy she had the fall detection feature so that we were able to send help the second time. If you ever have questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out and thank you again!
