I love the extra peace of mind that I have with life station. All I have to do is push a button if I wake up in the middle of the night and can't move and am having a medical emergency. All I need to do is push the button and help is on the way.

One time I had to wait awhile to talk to someone, but most times they've answered immediately. The equipment has been very good every time I've needed it except once, there was bit of a delay and I just got a little anxious over it. They're very polite, they're very businesslike and they got everything done quickly.

They've been helpful and courteous every time I've had to call them. It's compact and just easy to use. When they send a text when the button has been pressed the text itself is confusing I don't know whether to call them back.

When I have a problem, they're able to talk me through like resetting my button when they do my test monthly test. They're always very courteous. It gives you peace of mind knowing that if you do fall or have an accident that I can reach help without worrying about trying to get out. They did everything they said they were going to do.

There have been a couple of times where I leaned up against it and didn't realize that it beeped and they called me and I felt sorry to have bothered them and they couldn't have been nicer about it. They have always been nice about that. I think the device ought to be white.

I got this because of its availability most any place. I like the fact that it can be used most anywhere and not just 600 ft from your house. It's bulky and a little more expensive than other ones. I have accidentally pushed the button 4-5 times and I've always received a quick response. When I told them it was an accident, they weren't angry or upset. They are very kind and the audio is very clear.

The only thing I don't like is when the alert went off yesterday, they did not contact me first. I'm the one that set it all up for my dad and I didn't get an alert, if I did they didn't leave a message. But other than that, if you hit the button they will call that person inside the house. It does have good rates, it's just reasonable rates, I like that.

Well every time I have fall detection, sometimes when I just sit down or it goes off the customer service is always there when you need them. One thing I don't like about it is, the device you wear around your neck, its just too heavy, I wish it was lighter. It makes my neck hurt.

I don't have a very big house and the device can't reach every room. So, it's best to have 2 people in the house so that someone can talk to the apparatus while I'm away from that room. But, we've always been able to manage. I am satisfied and feel safe with it. I would like it to be cheaper, but it's worth it.

They do everything themselves instead of out-sourcing everything. Whenever I push the button, they're right there. The bad part is the alarm goes off when I don't want to press it, like tonight I was opening a jar of soda-pop and pushed it.

My mother uses this system. She wears the necklace button and it's convenient for her. She gets worried when she's asleep because she'll roll over it, but we know that it works.

Slightly Annoyed Kingsland, GA

Only 3/5 so far because of experiences I had, some good, some annoying but not bad. Signing up for service went relatively smoothly. Had to repeat responses a few times. When product was received 3 weeks later, information for who to contact was mixed up: improper order and wrong phone numbers assigned to each. Called in to correct information and was assured it was taken care of. Three months later the monitor detected a fall when I was placing it in the base to charge overnight (2nd activation that I could not cancel). The service did not detect when I pressed the button to cancel the activation and despite LifeStation contacting me to assure I was okay, sent a courtesy text to my brother, who is 3rd point of contact. The message was garbled and alarmed him that I had been hurt in some way. The service should have contacted my sister. I am also concerned that first contact with my loved one was in the form of a garbled text message and not a phone call, also not to the first point of contact. The message was forwarded to me and not even I could have understood what was being conveyed despite a medical background. When I contacted LifeStation the following day I was told it was their policy to send a courtesy text upon every activation. However, a previous activation (1st one I could not cancel) did not provide the same courtesy text. Perhaps because the time of day. The 1st activation was in daytime and 2nd was at night. My other issue has to do with the billing. I signed up for the service mid-month but did not receive the device for 3 weeks later. The salesperson had said it would be 2-4 business days shipping. We also adjusted the billing date to the beginning of the month for my convenience. What she did not tell me was the took the first payment on the day I ordered so that they could start processing the service and it would take about 2 weeks before the device would be shipped. Thus the 3 weeks I paid for service that I did not have. When I called in to correct the contact information after I received the device I was informed of this. The sales staff doesn't seem to work from the same script as customer servicie. Also the monitoring side of the seems to work off different guidelines within their department. With all this said, the main reason I want/need a monitoring device is for the fall detection. Being epileptic as well as having a leg length variance after repair of a femur break, I have balance issues. I could fall from a seizure or just because one leg is 1 inch shorter and I don't always wear my corrective shoes. I have tested the response time by pressing the cal button, it is great. Never more that a few seconds. I have the GPS enabled necklace. It is a little heavy and the adjustable cord doesn't stay adjusted. But overall I like the convenience of being able to wear it around my neck and not be confined to a limited distance from a base station.

I'm a Kaiser member and they were promoting this service. I felt that, since they were linked to Kaiser, they would have all my information and I wouldn't need to go and pre-set anything, they would take care of that. The portable fall detector is a bit heavy on my neck and the string on it seems to irritate my skin sometimes. Those things could be improved. A couple of times when I tested the button their response time was not as urgent as I would've liked it to be. Maybe it was because it's test mode and it's not really an emergency, but I'd like them to be quicker.

Our monitoring specialists try to answer every call as fast as they can, but with so many customers and only a set number of specialists, we can never guarantee an immediate response every time.

They strive to be as quick and efficient with each customer, but as we do not know whether a button press was intentional or not, we need to take every situation seriously until we hear from the client.

I picked them because of the cost, the user reviews, and because of the fact that they had a call center located in the United States. Customer service is good and they're very helpful, it just takes a while for someone to pick up when you call them. The button is also a little large, they should make it smaller. Overall it has been a good experience though. We had a competitor's device but that did not work nearly as well as LifeStation.

What convinced me of getting it were the price and the options available with the device. It seems to cover all the needs my father has. I have had no issues with them. I've probably called once or twice with questions but they always answered those professionally. The only problem that we've had with it was the arm band and the necklace. He hasn't been wearing it for that long but the Velcro on them is very frayed already. It's not really made of the best quality.
