Why LifeStation?

Committment to care, innovation, and reliability

Location Targeting
Faster, more reliable positioning

Supporting aging parents isn’t about control, it’s about confidence. A medical alert device should provide safety without disrupting daily life. LifeStation delivers that balance through medical alert systems built for reliability, ease of use, and fast access to help during a medical emergency.

Each system connects to a professional monitoring center staffed by trained emergency responders. Parents can wear a Sidekick Smart for mobile protection and GPS tracking, choose a lightweight Sidekick or Pearl for discreet everyday use, or rely on Sidekick Home for an in-home system with clear two-way communication. All are compatible with our free mobile app, which allows family members to view location tracking, set preferences, and manage emergency contacts remotely.

Many medical alert systems advertise features. LifeStation proves them. We offer affordable pricing with no long term contracts, support both in home and on the go systems, and maintain one of the industry’s highest rated medical alert systems by World Report. With a straightforward protection plan and dependable coverage over a secure cellular network, families don’t just get a medical alert, they get a partner in safety.

Fall Detection for Aging Parents
Protection when you can't press the button

Falls happen fast. For aging parents, the impact can be serious: physically and emotionally. A fall detection device offers more than a signal. It gives families a way to act quickly, even when no one is nearby.

LifeStation offers optional automatic fall detection with our mobile medical alert systems. If a fall is detected, the system contacts our professional monitoring center without needing to press the medical alert button. This feature is especially helpful during nighttime movements or outdoor activity, when response time matters most. In serious situations, a delay in reaching emergency responders increases the risk of injury or complications.

Every inexpensive fall detection device undergoes a full testing process before reaching the wearer. The Sidekick Smart, Pearl, and Sidekick models support this technology through secure cellular networks, allowing medical emergency signals to be sent even when the person is unable to speak. For older adults who want to remain active while reducing risk, fall detection provides the extra protection that brings calm to everyday movement.

Find my Loved One
Instantly locate your loved one with a text message

Aging doesn’t mean staying still. Walks around the block, trips to the store, or weekly social routines still matter until someone’s late coming home or doesn’t answer their cell phone. That’s where Find My Loved One comes in.

Available with most of our devices, this advanced feature connects family members directly to the user’s mobile unit. Through the caregiver app, caregivers can check a parent’s exact location, review movement patterns, and follow up with a quick emergency call if something feels off. Unlike traditional cell phones, the app remains synced to the GPS technology in the wearable device, meaning tracking is constant without needing action from the parent.

It’s more than a map. It’s a safety feature that helps families make real-time decisions without guesswork. Whether checking on someone while out walking, monitoring a delay, or confirming a routine trip went smoothly, the Find My Loved One feature supports caregiver tracking, preserves independence, and strengthens the value of the right medical alert system. For families asking how medical alert systems work, this is a clear example: precise, accessible, and built to keep medical alert services active in the background of daily life.

In the Case of a Medical Emergency
There with your loved one until help arrives

When a medical emergency happens, seconds matter. A monitored system that connects aging parents to trained responders can make the difference between worry and action. LifeStation offers that link, with technology that works fast and support that knows what to do and when to make sure the emergency services are called.

Each device connects directly to the company’s monitoring center, staffed 24/7 by specialists trained to handle a wide range of health situations. If a parent presses the help button, a live operator answers through the device’s two-way speaker. If they’re unable to speak or respond, the system still acts. Optional fall detection, mobile devices, and the built-in connection to a professional monitored system all combine to get help moving without delay.

LifeStation completes routine test calls to confirm functionality, provides exceptional customer service at every stage, and designs every device to operate reliably with long battery life. This level of care reflects what a leading medical alert company should offer—and what families expect when they cover medical alert systems for those they love.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which medical alert device is best for aging parents with both home and mobile safety needs?

The Sidekick Smart and Pearl both serve as versatile options. The Smart acts as a wearable watch-style medical alert device, while Pearl offers discreet mobile protection with GPS tracking, a help button, and optional fall detection.

How do I choose the right medical alert system for my aging parent’s routine?

Choosing the right medical alert system depends on how much time your parent spends at home versus on the go. Sidekick Home suits those indoors, while Sidekick or Pearl work well for active older adults who may be looking for a more mobile system.

What is the average medical alert system cost for LifeStation products?

The medical alert system cost ranges from $36.95/month for Sidekick Home to $50.90/month for Pearl. Pricing varies based on features like GPS, fall detection, and wearable format.

What battery life should I expect from a mobile medical alert system?

A mobile medical alert system like Sidekick or Pearl lasts up to 5 days per charge. The in-home Sidekick Home includes a 32-hour backup battery to maintain safety even during a power outage.

Can a home system still work if my parent moves around the house or into the yard?

Yes. LifeStation’s home system, Sidekick Home, works within a strong in-home range of up to 1300 feet from the base unit. This gives freedom to move around the house or nearby areas with confidence.

How does LifeStation handle location tracking in its mobile medical alert system?

Location tracking is available through the Find My Loved One app. It provides real-time GPS updates so family members can monitor the exact location of the user during emergency situations or regular check-ins.

Does the annual plan offer value for families managing long-term care?

Yes. Families who pay annually benefit from a free month of service, waived activation and shipping fees, and reduced total cost over time—ideal for aging parents who want long-term coverage.

Can I perform test calls to check if my parent’s medical alert systems work properly?

Yes. All LifeStation medical alert systems support test calls. This feature allows caregivers to confirm the system connects with the monitoring center and functions as expected.
