If a family member is living in a nursing home, why do they need a LifeNet subscription? The nursing home provides transportation.

This is true; however nursing home transportation is not available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. LifeNet does provide medical transportation 24/7. Emergency situations can arise at the nursing home thus requiring the need for an ambulance. Nursing home transportation is not allowed to take patients to the emergency room.
