During a recent medical emergency, my husband and I were immensely reassured by the prompt and professional response from INS LifeGuard Service. Robyn, a team member at INS, provided calm and effective support, quickly notifying the ambulance team and offering assistance over the phone. The swift arrival of the Village Manager further strengthened our confidence in the emergency care system. Now that my husband is recovering, we remain deeply appreciative of the compassionate and efficient service. We are so grateful for the reliable and comprehensive support provided by INS.

— Mr. and Mrs. Davis

Your phone and wrist button made me feel safe and secure in my home when through illness I felt vulnerable. The fact that I knew that I only had to press a button to have someone on the other end talk to me and arrange an ambulance allowed me to stay independent for as long as possible.

Firstly, I would like to thank you for the consistent high-quality service you have provided to The Willows Residents during 2023. Your team responds with efficiency and kindness at all times and we value the attention and care given through all the calls we have made to you. THANK YOU!!!

Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for all your time and patience on the phone today Nicole. As a virgin INS user, I emailed you. You called me right away and were so patient and took the time to learn a little of what our village required from this system. You then patiently explained the functions of the portal, paying attention to the functions which [our village] would find helpful.

I just wish to say thank you to the INS staff member who assisted us, Alison. She was very calm and caring and made the effort to check in on the situation over the several hours the call was active. She helped alleviate some of my distress, and I hope that you can note this on her file or at least pass on my thanks to her once more.

— Retirement Village

I recently spoke with our resident, and she couldn’t praise you enough for the amazing care, compassion, and professionalism you provided her.

On behalf of our independent living village I must pass on our sincere thanks as your team have been really impressive lately with responding to emergencies, especially regarding one of dear residents who required an ambulance yesterday whilst having lunch in our clubroom...response time was fantastic…..well done!

I want to thank two of your staff members who I spoke to recently. They were both so kind and understanding during what was an incredibly difficult time for us. Staff who are so caring, especially during such tough times, are truly a credit to any organisation. Thank you so much.

— Debra N.

I’m the manager of one of our new village sites, and I wanted to share some positive feedback with INS. The residents have been very complimentary of our team, especially the nurses who respond to the emergency alarms. They were lovely, and it’s clear we’re doing a great job. Well done, everyone!
