HomeSafe with AutoAlert

As a community service of the Victoria Hospital Foundation, we are integrated into the healthcare system and recommended by the professionals you trust.
Did you know that the AutoAlert button detected over 700 falls in Manitoba last year? That's 700 people who received help automatically after a fall and 700 lives that were potentially saved by a fall detection button.
HomeSafe with AutoAlert is the most widely adopted fall detection technology in North America. Victoria Lifeline clients across the province trust the AutoAlert button to call for help if they can’t. Extensively researched and tested by our partners at Lifeline Canada, the AutoAlert button detects greater than 95%* of falls and offers all the benefits of a medical alarm with that added layer of protection. Having an AutoAlert means you can rest easy knowing if a fall occurs and leaves you immobilized or even unconscious, the built-in smart sensors are designed to detect the fall and automatically alert the Response Center. It's an excellent choice for those with a history, risk or fear of falling. Take our Fall Assessment Survey today to find out if you or someone you love is at risk for a fall.

HomeSafe with AutoAlert includes the same state-of-the-art communicator as our standard service, along with a pendant-style button (no wrist option available). Lightweight and sleek, the smoothly designed button is also waterproof and can be pressed for help at any time. A Home Service Representative will visit your home to professionally install the unit, test the button, and explain how the AutoAlert technology works.
*AutoAlert does not detect 100% of falls. If able, you should always press your button if you need help.

Benefits of the HomeSafe with AutoAlert Service
