“Vital Link offered us such a valuable service for over 10 years. We had peace of mind knowing my elderly mother had subscribed to Vital Link. She lived in her own home and knowing she had access to help if needed was inperative. She used Vital Link until she was 92 and relocated therefore sadly no longer required their services. When it was time to discontinue our business with them I was treated with sensitivity and respect. I truly appreciated their service and professional way they conducted all our transactions. ”

“My MIL had this system for several years and had cause to use it twice.  Both times the phone response was instantaneous and they called our home to alert us too.  They coordinated response with her living community EMTs and our family. With the Vital Link system my MIL felt secure living on her own… and we appreciated their professional and compassionate responses! ”

“A true life saver. I signed up my mother for this service so she could be assured that she had a “safety net” while living alone. Even though she lived in an independent elderly facility the emergency pull cords are only in the bathroom or by her bed. While walking back to her room from dinner, she had a mini stroke but knew enough to activate her necklace and within  minutes of her blacking out and falling she was in an ambulance and on her way to the hospital.  I am totally convinced without Vital Link she could have been on the ground possibly for hours before someone would have found her. 100% satisfied. Thank you Vital Link for speedy and excellent service and support. “
