Frequently Asked Questions
Urgent Response is uniquely designed with a customizable Personal Profile that contains pertinent confidential information used by Urgent Response Agents to dispatch appropriate assistance when needed. We work with you to develop a personal profile so that our Agents better understand who you are and any unique needs or concerns you may have in order to provide you with personalized and caring experience
In case of emergency - or even when you're unsure if you need 911 - our Agents are trained in Emergency Dispatch and can act as your advocate to engage 911 and ensure you get the best care as quickly as possible. We use your personlized profile to proactively inform responders about any conditions, medications or allergies - even if you have a pet they should be aware of - as well as ensure they know how to access your home and reach you (providing helpful information like your home entry code, where you store your spare key, what room to locate you in, etc.). We'll stay on the line with you until they arrive and can even call a friend or family member on your behalf.

- immediate connection to 100% U.S. based Certified Urgent Response Agents who are certified by the International Academics of Emergency Dispatch(r) and are available to assist anytime, day or night.
