Our Mission

LifeStation empowers the lives of seniors, and their caregivers, through medical alert and connected health solutions.

What LifeStation Does

Safety, independence, & peace of mind

LifeStation is one of the leading providers of medical alert monitoring in the United States. We develop innovative platforms and emergency alert systems that transform the lives of seniors in order to help them live safely, and independently, in the comfort of their homes. Of equal importance to our philosophy is the well-being of caregivers, and LifeStation’s commitment to provide them with the peace of mind they need to manage their busy lives.

What We Believe

Care, technology, & reliability

LifeStation helps protect lives. To do this, we put our customers and their caregivers first at every step of the way.

This means that we listen to our users, invest heavily to build the best medical alert technology possible, and support a team of emergency care specialists who lead the critically important work that is being done on behalf of our customers every single day.

Humble Beginnings

How it all started

LifeStation was founded with the mission to improve the quality of life for seniors and their caregivers. Our business has always been privately owned, enabling us to operate in the best interest of our customers, and to take a long-term view on the development of emergency alert services to best meet their needs. We are proud to have grown to be one of the largest medical alert companies in the United States.
