• Prioritize three people for us to contact in an emergency. Pick three people you trust in the order you choose. You can list anyone you want—family members, a friend, a caregiver, or neighbor. Specify if you want them as a responder or notifier. Responders come help you in the emergency, and notifiers are informed you have pressed your button. 911 is automatically added as a fourth responder. Setting up your circle of Care is simple and ensures you always get a personalized response.
