Pendant Personal Help Button

Get help at the push of a button

Styled like understated jewelry on an adjustable cord, the Pendant-style Personal Help Button weighs less than ½ an ounce – only half as much as other medical alert buttons! With a simple push of this button, you will be connected with caring Victoria Lifeline professionals who can put you in touch with the assistance you need – 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

How you’ll benefit:

  • You can wear it in the shower, where falls often occur, because it is waterproof.
  • You can wear it around your neck, so it is accessible by either of your hands.
  • You can use it to call for help from anywhere in and around your home, at any time.
  • Increased peace of mind for you and your loved ones
  • Confidence to live independently and safely in your own home

Choosing personal help button

It is important that you and/or your caregiver consider the following information when choosing an appropriate wearing method for your personal help button.

These wearing methods are common throughout the medical alert service industry.

Pendant Styles

The AutoAlert, Classic and Slimline pendants are worn around the neck; this helps make the button accessible by either of your hands.

To reduce any risk of strangulation, Philips Lifeline neck cords are designed to break apart under certain conditions. However, any cord worn around the neck can pose a strangulation risk, including the possibility of death and serious injuries. This may be of more concern to wearers in wheelchairs, using walkers, using beds with guard rails, or who might encounter other protruding objects upon which the cord can become tangled. Wearers for whom this is a concern may wish to consider the Wrist style button.
