Responders and People to Notify
As a Lifeline subscriber, you should identify one or more people who
will agree to respond in the event of an incident. These are called
Responders. Typically, Responders are family members, friends or
neighbors who are nearby and can come to assist you.
Often, there are other people who are not available to assist you but who
would like to know that you needed assistance. These could be family
members in another area or healthcare professionals who are involved in
your care. These people are referred to as People to Notify.
