Hello Judy, I have been looking at the subject of Lifeline here in the UK as my mother has recently had a stroke. Unfortunately she’s still in hospital and has other complications.
I was advised by some good friends to contact both my local councillor and Social Services for a monitoring service. There is a company who offer a wearable monitor and service for £12.49 a month. Take a look at: https://www.lifeline24.co.uk/pricing/ I would contact Social Services to see if there’s any help available to you. All the best with your recovery and if I find out anymore information I will happily share it with you. So as not to clutter the list with information irrelevant to others and not Apple related, you can contact me off-list if you wish at: [email protected] Malcolm Parfitt > On 28 Oct 2021, at 20:14, Judy Pryor <[email protected]> wrote: > > Many thanks for this Richard.
