What does it do?

Lifelink is a slim alarm unit that sits  by your own phone. The unit links to  a pendant which you wear, on your wrist or around  your neck. When you push the button on the pendant a call for help is raised wherever you are in your home or garden.You do not have to get to your phone, or remember numbers. Lifelink can talk to you directly to reassure you and get the help you need.
Lifelink provides the comfort of 24 hour contact with a trained operator who provides reassurance and the help you need, whatever your age or situation. If you live or work alone, are isolated, at risk through illness, mobility or special needs, live independently yet are facing the challenge of age, disability or convalescence, are at risk from unwanted calls, domestic violence or abuse... you can benefit from this service.
