WILMINGTON, NC, June 12, 2015 (Newswire.com) - 101 Mobility of Wilmington recently added Philips Lifeline, the leading medical alert service in the industry, to its extensive line of mobility and accessibility solutions. Philips Lifeline is a medical alert service designed to reduce the risk of seniors and disabled individuals who choose to live alone. In the event of an accident or emergency, help is available at the push of a button.

Patented back in 1974, Philips Lifeline has become the top medical alert service provider in the United States. Having served over 7 million subscribers, these devices offer simple, user-friendly functionality that helps seniors and those living with disabilities obtain peace of mind.

"Philips is ranked one of the 15 most reputable companies in the world, and 101 Mobility is proud to be partnered with them."

“Philips is ranked one of the 15 most reputable companies in the world, and 101 Mobility is proud to be partnered with them,” said Wes Barefoot, national account manager for 101 Mobility.

Philips Lifeline offers an assortment of products, such as HomeSafe and GoSafe, which allows its user to press a button on a pendant in case of an accident at home or on-the-go. Through AutoAlert, some devices are even able to automatically detect when a fall has taken place, alerting a 24/7 response center.

Barefoot accounted that he immediately saw a correlation between the products and services offered by 101 Mobility of Wilmington and Philips Lifeline.

“Lifeline’s Mission is to ‘Improve the quality of life of at-risk seniors, chronically ill people, and their caregivers by enabling independent living,’ a mission that goes hand-in-hand with ours,” Barefoot explained.

According to Barefoot, the addition of Philips Lifeline will hopefully create new customer relationships for 101 Mobility of Wilmington. The Wilmington-based company is the first access and mobility equipment provider to offer the Lifeline service.

“Our goal is not to simply provide a piece of equipment. Our goal is to become a trusted partner to our customers through a dedication to customer service and support,” Barefoot said. “Our partnership with Philips Lifeline is an example of how we are taking that support to the next level.”
