What is it?

The Lifeline Vi and Vi+ are simple to use telecare home alarm units which support independent living, by enabling the home environment to be monitored 24 hours a day.

Who is it for?

Ideal for anyone needing extra support to maintain independence at home, the Lifeline Vi and Vi+ can provide reassurance and confidence. They are suitable for older people living alone, individuals recuperating after a hospital stay and anyone with reduced mobility or long term health conditions.

How does it work?

The Lifeline Vi and Vi+ hub units link with a wide range of telecare sensors and connect directly to a monitoring centre through a telephone line. Users can press a button on the Lifeline Vi/ Vi+ hub or wearable pendant to call for help. The monitoring centre operator is able to respond to the caller through the unit’s loudspeaker/microphone and take appropriate action, such as contacting a family member, carer or the emergency services. Detecting risks such as fire, food or gas leaks, additional sensors placed discreetly around the home can automatically raise an alarm. PIR (passive infrared) detectors can be incorporated to provide intruder monitoring or alert if someone has left their bed or home or has failed to return safely within a predetermined timeframe.
