Medical Alert

Zero customer service. Altho we returned our never activated, never opened system AND THE SIGNED FOR THIS RETURN ON DECEMBER 4, we still have not received our $329 Credit!! When I call them they claim the credit is happening soon. HERE'S THE BEST THO: THEIR SALES PEOPLE CALL CONSTANTLY TO SELL ME A SYSTEM EVEN THO I'M WAITING FOR A CREDIT FOR THE ONE I RETURNED.

The automatic fall detection service I subscribed to with Medical Alert failed when my 94 year old mother needed it the most. My Mother fell in the bathroom and laid on the cold tile floor for 12 hours. The failure was caused by incompatible equipment sent by Medical Alert where the transmitter was not compatible with the base station to detect a fall. Customer service was non existent when trying to address the issue. I cancelled the service after this awful experience.

BUYER BEWARE........ Medical alert processed a Payment through Auto pay on my Visa card in July. On October 25th we canceled service was told we would have refund within 30 days. After making several calls I’ve been told three times it has been elevated, STILL NO REFUND AS OF JANUARY 18th?

Activation - significant issues with getting a person!

I cancelled my Mom's Medical Alert in November and I still don't have my refund. They refund the months you didn't use when you die or in Assisted Living. It has been two months and STILL NO REFUND AS OF JANUARY 24th. I would never have Medical Alert again. When they charge my card every 6 months, they did it right on the date.

I went with this home fall detect unit and had it for 5 months absolutely loved it exclamation. The price was right for myself. The people on the other end for emergency calls are very friendly and helpful one time they were backed up and didn't respond as quick but for the most part they're very fast. They also offered one free month and a lock box. They have Southern Accents no hard to understand foreign language accent. I then decided because I fell twice at work and once walking to call and ask about their mobile units. This is where became frustrating for me the first unit worked for fall detect it was the same price as I was paying for my home device but $10 more for fall detect on the go unit which I thought it was okay and worth it as they would be able to GPS my position. Setup work great fall the tech twerk then in shower it turned on the next day I realize from a fall that fall detector was no longer working so I believe it shorted out they sent me a replacement very quickly within 2 days unfortunately fall detect did not work they sent me another replacement fall the tech did not work on the go unit. Now they are sending me the Elite model for the same price but she has given me two months free for as long as I hold the unit so it works out to be the same price as I was paying for the home unit. I'm hoping that this one will work. Even though my mother is frustrated and says the system is junk which I'm on the edge about technology can fail technology is not a hundred percent. I'm very young and I've been enjoyed the home unit I'm just working out the Kinks for the go unit which I would not recommend the elite unit seems a little more complicated but having more things to carry so I will give it a try. So far service 4 the dispatchers, troubleshooters, and testing anyone that I've spoken with has been so helpful and polite amazing help that is why I'm willing to give the elite a try if it does not work then I would have to say in Canada it's not very good for mobile unit but I will see home unit price was right and comparable to others and very friendly service so yes home unit is good for Canadians with my experience. I hope from Reading other people's reviews if I do decide to go with another service provider that I do not have trouble with finances and getting it back I will write more reviews later

The operator was very determined to get the best deal for my father. She was polite and patient.

They called but didn't push when I told them my friend no longer needed them.

The process of ordering system & set up of equipment were easy

Medical alert gives no statements I returned a unit 1/27/18 that I prepaid for the year no money’s back yet called asked for a statement they told me they didn’t do that! Well hear I am no statement they owe me 8 months here it is over 30 days the said the would return my money over 250 bucks not a penny back yet Call them to ask you have to wait on hold for over a hour they hope you will for get your money

i think they probably are very good. the reason i say this is because thankfully have not had to use them,but i think if i did they would be their in an instant. also i was wondering if you could send me their customer service number if should ever have a question to ask.

I was supposed to get a call back today from tech support but have not heard from them.

i am happy with the response for help and customer service

Horrible customer service - can't reach to correct account errors. leave calls on hold till hang up. Promise to correct problem but don't take action after repeat requests.

Thank God, I’ve only had “false alarms”over the past 6 years. The responders have always been professional and reassuring even when pendant accidentally pressed or dropped. Thank you. Contacts regarding billing have also been positive. New “weighted” is a little “sensitive”, but provides add’l reassurance.

They are so professional and I am satisfied

Because I had to wait for my refund in a check , the unit was not what we exspected.

Customer service was polite and helpful. Unit easy to install

Good until there is a billing error. Since January, 2018 I have waited on hold for hours and talked to no less than four unhelpful persons trying to get a refund for a unit sent to my 85 year-old-mother WITHOUT my (the payee) permission. Was promised a refund then later told it was not processed and that I would have to talk to supervisor. Impossible! Further, I was billed after wall buttons were returned. Very frustrating. FINALLY after much frustration, Sheila helped me. I am back on board. Thanks

Great medical device for people with needs

Mine has malfunctioned a few times and been replaced.

Really works! Two of my family members have it! Just got the device that detects a fall, and it worked! Life Alert initiated the process when a family member passed out. Life Alert contacted me and I immediately went to see what happened. A fall had taken place in the bathroom and Life Alert had the life saving crew on the way, so we got to my family member about the same time. Luckily, no broken bones, etc. but family doctor recommended the patient go to ER to be checked out due to a history of falls. After one week in the hospital and two weeks in rehab, we are back home now. I truly recommend Life Alert!!!!
