Emergency-Response Dialer Program

The Barrington Senior Center is sharing this important safety update for any residents currently using Skylink emergency dialer systems:

Skylink no longer manufactures or supports these devices. As phone networks evolve, older Skylink systems may stop working reliably, which can pose a serious safety concern for anyone relying on them in an emergency.

Your safety is our top priority. We strongly encourage all users to discontinue use of Skylink systems as soon as possible and consider transitioning to a more current personal emergency response system.

To help you make an informed decision, we have compiled a list of updated emergency response products that meet modern technology standards.

Please note: The Barrington Senior Center does not endorse, recommend, or assume liability for any specific products or vendors. The information below is provided solely for educational purposes, to help you make the best choice for your needs.

Please direct any and all questions about the products listed above to the respective companies. The Barrington Senior Center is unable to provide technical support or detailed information regarding these devices.

Additionally, we would like to share that Bill has officially retired and relocated out of the area. We are deeply grateful for his many years of dedicated service to the Barrington community and wish him all the best in his retirement.
