Frequently Asked Questions



  • How do LifeGuard’s personal alarms for providers work?

    1. If there’s an emergency, your client can simply press the button on their LifeGuard SmartHome LGX, SmartLink Medi Guardian or mobile alarm to send an alert. We can also provide a Fall Sensor that automatically activates an alarm when a fall is detected, even if your client can’t physically press the button.
    2. The alert will be received by one of our qualified nurses in our 24/7 emergency response centre. The nurse will communicate with your client using the two-way speaker on their emergency device. Your client can and will be heard even if they’re not near the device.
    3. The nurse, who has access to your client’s personal details and medical history, will assess the situation and take the appropriate action. This may include contacting a relative or friend, sending emergency services to your client’s location, or simply providing reassurance and support.
    4. In the event that your client cannot be reached or does not respond via voice, our nurse will arrange for an ambulance to go to your client’s location. Whatever the situation may be, rest assured help is on the way.

    * The INS LifeGuard has no control over network coverage or voice quality, which is dependent on local environmental conditions. If your client cannot hear us over the alarm system, you can rest assured that we have received the alarm and will send help to their location immediately.

  • What other services are included?

    Free Nurse Chat and Health Info Line

    INS LifeGuard has a FREE Nurse Chat and Health Info Line that your client can access when they are feeling lonely and need someone to talk to. They may also contact INS LifeGuard at any time for assistance or information. Upon request, our nurses can connect with their primary care physician or other healthcare professionals.


    Welfare Checks

    On behalf of providers, we can conduct welfare checks following hospital discharge as well as upon request.


    Download the Free INS LifeGuardian® App

    If your client downloads the INS LifeGuardian® app, they’ll have access to more services as part of the INS LifeGuard Ecosystem, which includes TeleHealth services and the INS LifeGuardian Connect® app. And for a low monthly monitoring fee, they can transform their compatible phone into a mobile alarm.


    INS LifeGuardian® App Services Include TeleHealth Monitoring

    When it comes to monitoring the results of your clients, you have two options: use the Free TeleHealth Service and monitor the results on your own, or subscribe to our Professional TeleHealth Service and have the results reviewed by a qualified nurse from INS LifeGuard.


    Free INS LifeGuardian Connect® App

    As a provider, your staff can use the INS LifeGuardian Connect® app to conveniently monitor the health status and whereabouts of your clients. They can also view or edit personal information, set alarms, and receive alerts when something unusual occurs. iOS version requires iOS 13 or higher.

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.

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.

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.

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!
