Encourage your CareAdvantage patients to get a LifeStation personal medical alert device at absolutely no cost. It can save their life!

Whether they wear a LifeStation medallion around their neck or a LifeStation smartwatch on their wrist, 24/7 emergency  assistance from experienced, US-based specialists is just moments away. LifeStation’s dedicated monitoring centers provide the fastest response times in the industry, ensuring people get help when they need it most.

LifeStation devices also help caregivers take care of their loved ones with real-time smartphone-enabled location tracking through Alexa, Amazon Echo and text messages.

As of March 2025, 178 CareAdvantage members have activated their personal medical alert devices. The pendant style is the more popular choice, and nearly 90% of participating members have activated the automatic Fall Detection option. The cost for this service normally starts at around $40 a month – but our CareAdvantage members pay nothing! That’s a value to them of nearly $500 a year – and they can keep their device for as long as they stay enrolled in CareAdvantage

Help your patients live more confidently and securely each and every day!

  • Encourage your patients in our CareAdvantage plan to get their own LifeStation personal medical alert device. They can learn about it and order theirs by contacting the CareAdvantage Unit
  • Encourage your dual eligible HPSM Medi-Cal patients to join CareAdvantage. Then they can get a personal medical alert device and many other benefits, such as a Fitness Membership Program to use all of the YMCA’s onsite and online services at no cost.
