Philips Lifeline Review

Philips Lifeline HomeSafe Standard is Philip’s base medical alarm system. HomeSafe Standard provides seniors with the option to either use a landline connection or cellular connection, making it accessible to everyone. The system comes with a base station and a pendant worn either on the wrist or around the neck. The pendants are waterproof, so seniors can wear them at any moment during the day. The station is sturdy and reliable without sacrificing style and boasts up to 30 hours of backup battery life in case of a power outage.

Seniors can expect to have between 400-800 feet of range from their base system. With two-way communication, seniors are directly connected with one of Philip Lifeline’s Response Associates, who are available 24/7. These associates can either enact the customized response plan laid out by the senior and their loved ones or contact emergency responders to help in an urgent situation.

The Philips Lifeline HomeSafe Standard has their two options of either a landline connection at $29.95/mo or a cellular connection at $41.95/mo. Both options also require a one-time activation fee of $50.00, but there are no contracts or cancellation fees with Philips Lifeline.

Philips Lifeline’s HomeSafe with AutoAlert comes with all the incredible benefits of HomeSafe, with the added feature of fall detection. With fall detection, seniors and their loved ones can rest assured that if the senior does fall, Philips Lifeline will be able to respond within seconds of the incident. The automatic fall detection is activated, and the two-way communication allows the senior and the Response Associate to be connected immediately. As with HomeSafe Standard, the response plan can be enacted if necessary or emergency responders will be called for assistance. Since their call centers provide 24/7 monitoring, seniors and their loved ones can rest assured that Philips Lifeline will be there to help at any moment

The HomeSafe with AutoAlert comes with a base station and waterproof wrist or neck pendant. It can be connected either with a landline connection or with a cellular connection through AT&T. AutoAlert can save lives, and with the excellent technology of the automatic fall detection coupled with the excellent service, it’s worth it to add the extra fee a month for this feature.

HomeSafe with AutoAlert’s landline option is $44.95/mo, and the cellular option is $56.95/mo. There is a $50 one-time activation fee, and no long-term contracts or cancellation fees.

Philip Lifeline’s GoSafe option is a medical alert system for active, on-the-go seniors. The system includes a base station as well as a modern, attractive pendant alert button that has two-way communication capabilities. Each pendant comes with fall detection. The feature that sets Philips Lifeline’s GoSafe option apart from its competitors is the 6 locating technologies that ensure emergency personnel can locate a senior who has called for help. These technologies include A-GPS, WIFI, Intelligent location breadcrumbs, two-way communication through the pendant, an audio beacon (which Philips can activate in case of an emergency), and the in-home communicator, or base station. This incredible technology gives both seniors and their loved ones peace of mind while they’re both in and out of the home.

The GoSafe pendant has a 7 day battery life on a single charge, and it can also be recharged while being worn simultaneously. The pendant is waterproof and can be worn on the wrist or around the neck. As with the HomeSafe Standard option, seniors are connected to Philips Lifeline’s top-rated 24/7 call centers and the Response Associates in an emergency situation.

GoSafe is able to use both landline and cellular connection. The landline option is $54.95/mo, and the cellular option is $64.95/mo. There is a one-time activation fee of $149, but there are no contracts and no cancellation fees.

The GoSafe2 from Philips Lifeline is perfect for seniors who lead active lifestyles both in and outside of their home. This medical alert system has all the benefits of GoSafe, but without the need for a base station. This allows for a one-stop shop with just a pendant rather than having a need to communicate or connect through the base station. The attractive GoSafe2 pendant has GPS, is waterproof, and has a battery life of up to seven days on a single charge.

The GoSafe2 also includes the multiple locating technologies that the GoSafe has, including A-GPS, WIFI, Intelligent location breadcrumbs, two-way communication through the pendant, and an audio beacon, which is activated by Philips Lifeline in an emergency. Seniors can still get connected to a Response Associate 24/7, who can enact the emergency response plan laid out or contact emergency responders to get help.

The GoSafe2 can only be used with a cellular connection and costs $44.95/mo with a $99.95 one-time activation fee. There are no long-term contracts and no cancellation fees with Philips Lifeline.
