Our name, Companion Call Light, was changed to Companion Lifeline in October 2004 to reflect our new relationship with Lifeline Systems, Inc.
Lifeline is the originators of the emergency response concept. Lifeline Systems is the largest provider of emergency response systems with over 725,000 subscribers across North America.

This new relationship allows Companion Lifeline to upgrade our equipment to the state-of-the-art communicators that has become the trademark of Lifeline Systems.
The high- tech monitoring center that services more than 32,000 calls a day exceeds any other monitoring company's facilities.
We believe this change benefits our subscribers by providing better equipment, quicker response time and more reliability for greater security and assurance to our subscribers and their family.
