Lifeline is proud to be celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The brand was established in 1974 by gerontologist Dr. Andrew Dibner and his sociologist wife, Susan as a way to address the needs of older adults living alone who require help or urgent medical attention. The first medical alert system of its kind, Lifeline, grew from this idea and continued to build on its promise to deliver greater Peace of Mind, Reassurance, and Independence. Today, Lifeline has served more than 7.5 million people across North America and is the most widely recognized and trusted brand by seniors, family caregivers and healthcare professionals alike. Our reputation for offering innovative systems paired with the delivery of professional monitoring that is completely focused on the needs of seniors and patients has allowed Lifeline to stand apart in this growing market. While the Lifeline service has evolved over the last 50 years, one thing has remained constant: our mission to help older adults live their lives independently with confidence.
