LifeFone’s products can be divided into two categories: at home and on-the-go.

At home landline

(from the base unit), and comes with 32 hours of battery life, a waterproof pendant, and a lifetime price guarantee. Additionally, you can optionally add $5/mo for fall detection.

At home cellular

It costs $30.95 (per month when paid annually, with monthly and quarterly options too), and has a range of 1300 ft. from the base unit. Apart from using cellular instead of a landline, it’s exactly similar to the landline package. Additionally, you can optionally add $5/mo for fall detection.

Rated as the #1 Best Medical Alert System for 2024 by U.S. News & World Report’s 360 Reviews, LifeFone has been in the medical alert system business since 1976 and is still providing one of the best services in the market. They have a versatile list of products that get installed within minutes and provide instant hands-free communication during times of need.

24/7 monitoring

It doesn’t matter whether a fire has broken out within your house or you are having trouble breathing, you can contact the helpline 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for any kind of emergency.

Waterproof and lightweight

The help pendant (or wristband) is completely waterproof which means that you can wear it within the bathtub or the shower or the swimming pool. It’s also really lightweight which makes it easy to be carried around.

Unlimited emergency notifications

Unlike their counterparts, LifeFone allows you to add as many emergency contacts as possible. The said contacts will be notified in case you face an emergency.

Lifetime equipment and price guarantee

This is another feature that offers Lifefone a strong competitive advantage over their counterparts. They offer lifetime price and equipment guarantee which means that you can be sure that you won’t go wrong with your investment.

Remote phone answering

Imagine being in your bedroom when the landline starts ringing downstairs. You no longer have to rush towards it because by using your help pendant or wristband, you can simply press a button and answer the call.

Temperature detector

The at-Home systems are also capable of detecting the rise and/or fall in your body temperature which is a really special feature not all of LifeFone’s competitors offer.

Fall detection (optional)

All of LifeFone’s packages come with the option to add fall detection to the mix. The range of the fall detection sensor varies depending on the device, and it will only cost either $5 or $10 depending on the subscribed package. It is recommended to take this option as statistically so many elderly people do injure themselves from falls every year.

Works while charging

A vast majority of the voice-in-pendant systems offered by other companies don’t work while charging but LifeFone has set the usability bar quite high by making the devices intelligent enough to work even while they are on charge.

VIPx Caregiver App

LifeFone designed the Caregiver app to be a special addition to the VIPx package. For $8 more monthly, you can download an application that improves the experience of both the user and the caregiver.

VIPx Caregiver app takes protection to the next level and offers important information, including:

• Track location on demand. You can access the app and get an accurate real-time location of the pendant.
• Check the history of button presses. You won’t only receive a notification when the user presses the button, but you can assess when they previously used the alert button on that device.
• Monitor daily steps. You can set daily objectives and check history for the previous seven days;
• Know the first motion of the day. You can check when the user gets up every day, and check that history for the previous week.
• Battery alerts. VIPx pendants have batteries that last around two weeks. Receiving a notification for low battery is useful to ensure the device doesn’t power off.
• Lost Device Assistance. If you lose the device, you can press a button in the app and make it ring. It should simplify finding misplaced units.

Installing LifeFone is as easy as plugging the device into the socket and turning it on. Within a few seconds and after the momentary flashing of blue light, the base station will inform (via a digital voice) that the device is all set up. With the single press of a button, you get connected to an emergency responder within only 15 seconds.
