FAQ
I love that my mom is confident with her Lifelink button. She got it so she could continue living independently. Now she’s in her nineties and had more falls and each time Lifelink has been there for her. I’m so glad she signed up years ago!” –Lisa, Warwick

“What a relief that Mom had Lifelink when she fell down the garage steps when bringing in groceries! The fall was immediately detected by the button, and rescue was sent by the well-trained person from the call center. Mom hit her head and required transport to the hospital. I was notified by the call center and was able to meet her in the emergency room. This was a very scary incident that could have been a lot worse without the immediate response from Lifelink.”
– Kathy, Providence

Can I get Lifelink RI for my loved one? What if I live out of state?
Many of our clients have service arranged and/or paid for by relatives, including family who live out of state! As long as the original installation occurs within our geographic reach of Rhode Island or southeastern Massachusetts, we can provide your loved one with service.
How long will it take to get Lifelink RI set up?
In most cases, your personalized Lifelink RI emergency response system will be set up within 3-5 business days. The in-home installation itself usually takes less than half an hour by our install technician who will educate you about the service, answer any questions, test coverage, and walk you through the process of making a call for help. Once it’s connected, simply activate the button to reach the response center for help.
How will I know if my equipment needs servicing?
Lifelink RI equipment is smart tech, which means it is self-checking and notifies our local response center if it detects a power failure, low battery, or a button that needs to be replaced. Our team will arrange a time to come to you to make any necessary repairs, battery changes, or changes for no additional fee.
Will Lifelink work from anywhere in my house?
In general, you can use the Help Button to call for help from anywhere in or around your home, although the range varies depending on your home’s construction and distance from the communication device. Buttons are waterproof and therefore designed to work in the shower or bath.
Does Lifelink work while I'm on vacation or running errands?
Lifelink On-The-Go uses GPS and four other location technologies to help our responders pinpoint your exact location, wherever you go. You can run errands, visit family, or head down to the beach house with confidence knowing that we’ve got you covered!
Is Lifelink RI available to people in assisted living communities?
Yes! Lifelink RI services are available to individuals living at home, in senior housing, or in assisted living facilities. Lifeline provides an extra measure of security for those who receive some assistance but who do not have someone caring for them at all times.
