Am I getting the best deal with the AARP Lifeline discount?
It depends on which package you’re considering.
AARP’s medical alert discount is a good deal if you want the HomeSafe Standard (Landline) or the On-the-Go device.
For everything else, AARP’s Lifeline discounts aren’t the most affordable options on the market. Here are our recommended alternatives and the additional savings you could enjoy:
Alternative to HomeSafe AutoAlert (Landline)
Alternative to HomeSafe Cellular systems
- HomeSafe AutoAlert (Landline)—choose Bay Alarm Medical's landline system with fall detection to save an additional $3.25/mo. with a free price-lock guarantee. There’s a one-time fee of about $30 for the fall detection pendant. Learn more in our Bay Alarm Medical review.
- HomeSafe Standard (Cellular)—choose MobileHelp’s cellular system to save an additional $17.41/mo. (That’s not a typo!) There’s a one-time processing fee of about $50. Learn more in our MobileHelp review.
- HomeSafe AutoAlert (Cellular)—choose MobileHelp’s cellular system with fall detection to save an additional $19.16/mo. There’s a one-time processing fee of about $50.
