                    JCS provides Lifeline services to individuals living at home, in senior housing, or in assisted living facilities. Lifeline provides an extra measure of security for those who receive some assistance but who do not have someone caring for them at all times.

                    Fees

                    Basic Lifeline service, including the Help Button, the communication device, and ongoing access to our 24-hour Response Center, costs just a little more than $1 a day. The AutoAlert option costs slightly more. There are no hidden fees, and you pay monthly, with no long-term contract. Call for an exact quote.
