Philips Lifeline

When I need to use my Philips Lifeline, I press my button. So far, I've gotten along fine with their reps. Philips' service has been okay.

I've had a heart problem. My daughter was working at that time and I was by myself so I needed an alert device. I have Philips Lifeline right around my neck. It makes me feel better knowing that I can just smash a button and I will talk in it. I used it once or twice and asked a question. They were quick to respond and they talked really nicely to me and answered my questions. I feel safer that I can get somebody immediately and I don't feel like I'm alone anymore.

My Philips Lifeline is good. I feel more secure knowing that it's there. I'm alone and if I fall, I know that somebody is gonna help me. If I didn't have that and I fell, I could be lying on the floor for days and nobody would know. When I fell outside, Philips sent the police and the ambulance. Because I was outside, I didn't have my phone with me so I couldn't answer it. I couldn't communicate with the communicator thing. There was a guy that was blowing out the snow in my driveway and he was the first responder. He helped me up and I really didn't need any extra help. But it was good knowing that Philips would do that. The only thing is the device is probably not as good as having the one that has the communicator right on the next thing. That would be more efficient because you have to be within distance of the communicator in order to really use it.

I have a Philips chair on my stairs. My family had also researched that's why I got Philips Lifeline. It's no better than any of the rest of them and it does cost more, but it's fine. I wear it all the time. I leaned against something and it went off one time. Another time, my little great-granddaughter was here and she pressed it. Their response time was within a minute.

Philips Lifeline was a referral for my mother. A friend and her mom had it. My mother feels more secure having it. Once it goes off, their response is good. It seems the price keeps going up though. It's been up like $20 a month since she's been with them. Now, it's up to about $50.

I fall down a lot and I feel good having Philips Lifeline. It's very important to have it. I was by myself when I fell on the floor. I warmed up some leftovers for my dinner, walk across to the microwave to my icebox, and fell. but I managed to get up and call my daughter, so she came over. I didn't think it was serious enough to use my Lifeline. But, I depend on them and I'm glad I got it just in case I can't get ahold of my kids. Their reps were right there really quickly when I used it.

I've had my Philips Lifeline for such a long time and I wear it all the time. It’s good quality and I haven’t had any problems with it. I know that I can get help if I need it. That’s the main thing.

When I made my Philips Lifeline go off while testing it, Philips' team responded quickly. I've had my button for a year now and it has been okay. I wear it out periodically.

I got Philips Lifeline from a hospital in Montgomery. It was not Philips at the time that I went with it. I had one incident with it where I fell. But when the call came to my children, they didn't recognize that it was Philips Lifeline and they didn't answer it. It happened early in the morning around eight o'clock and they said that it came from a city that was wway off, so they thought it was not a call they needed to answer. It was just not clear and they told the people at the time that what came in on the telephone needed to be clearer as to what it was. But as far as getting answers when I check my Lifeline every month, I’ve always gotten an answer.

My niece was here one night and said her mother-in-law has the Philips Lifeline, and that she and her husband would go to the phone and connect us up. My husband lost his neck piece but he always wore it every day.
