Ministry LifeDirect Program

How LifeDirect Works
Each subscriber has a communicator unit attached to the telephone and a portable personal help button that is worn on their person. The user may be as far away as 200 feet from the telephone to benefit from this service.

At the first sign of trouble, the subscriber pushes their personal help button to activate a “help” call. Responders, friends, neighbors or relatives identified by the subscriber will be called to check in on the subscriber. If no responders are available, emergency assistance will be dispatched.

LifeDirect, available through Ministry Living Well, provides a 24-hour personal emergency response service to people who want to continue to live independently, but are disabled, elderly, or medically at-risk. The service provides a small unit that is worn by the individual; when the button is pushed, an alert activates medical assistance any time of day or night.
