Common Questions

How does Urgent Response work?

Simply press the button on your Jitterbug phone or Lively Mobile2 medical alert, and you'll be connected to our certified, U.S.-based Urgent Response agents in seconds. They'll verify your location, assess the situation, and get you the help you need — whether that's coordinating with emergency services or calling a caregiver or loved one to help you. The agent will stay on the line until your situation is resolved.

Does Urgent Response replace 9-1-1?

Urgent Response is NOT a substitute for 9-1-1. Urgent Response agents are professionally trained and certified to provide assistance in any situation, including urgent situations. However, Lively strongly recommends that if you believe you are experiencing a critical, emergency situation, always bypass Urgent Response and contact 9-1-1 directly.

Some situational examples of when NOT to use Urgent Response and call 9-1-1 directly instead include:

  • Fire
  • Heart attack/stroke
  • Robbery/break-in
How does the Urgent Response agent handle my call if it escalates to an emergency situation?

If you call Urgent Response and the Urgent Response Agent determines that you are experiencing an emergency, the agent will assist you in connecting to 9-1-1 emergency services.

Urgent Response Agents may provide emergency services or 9-1-1 operators with information found in your Personal Profile, such as medications, allergies and personal contact numbers. They will inform the operator of the situation, where you are and will always stay on the line to ensure the situation has been resolved.

Agents can even conference in your emergency contacts to speak with you or a registered nurse to answer any medical questions.

I got this for my mother. So far, she hasn't needed to push the button, but it gives me peace of mind knowing if something happens, she will get help.

This is an item that gives me peace of mind for my elderly mother to be at home alone while I am at work in case a need was to arise.
