We like using it very much. I purchased it for a family member, and she's used it a couple of times already; it works very well and very fast. I think that this is for anybody that is taking care of an elder person that can't be there all the time. It's very essential to have something like this.

At first, the device was a little shaky, but it's come a long way. It's really good. I've had a couple problems, but we ironed them out and I'm very happy with Medical Alert. I don't know too many people that have Medical Alert, but I know my experience has been good. Whenever I call, they're there for me, and I don't know what I would do without them.

I have trouble with the necklace because it got tangled on my clothes. It's actually been wonderful. I don't worry about falling anymore because I know somebody would come if I push the button. So far, I haven't had a problem with it.

It's been great! I have a few health issues and they've been very good with me, regardless of anything. When I broke my wrist band, their representatives were always nice and even sent me a new one. I have no complaints whatsoever about them.

The features are great and I like the idea behind it, however, I don't like that it's too sensitive. I set it off frequently and it's not very comfortable around my neck, so I don't wear it very much. Besides that, I'm satisfied with the quality of their service; it's also very affordable.

Luckily I haven't had to use it but it works fine. I had a stroke several years ago and my balance is not the best, so this was definitely a good option for me. They treat their customers very good and I've had an excellent experience.

Every time it's gone off by accident, they've called me immediately. That's really good because at my age, it's a little concerning to live alone. All I can say is that I'm definitely satisfied with the service they've provided.

As a senior living alone, it's good to have a service like this. My previous system was sending an alert for each movement, but now I have a new one and I'm very much satisfied with it. It makes me feel good because it gives me the confidence to go out of my house without a problem.

After several falls I decided I really needed this service. They were fantastic and very knowledgeable! One of the representatives didn't know the answer to one of my questions, but put me on hold to find it. It gave me a lot of peace of mind. My wife and I are really happy to have it; it's like my little buddy who keeps me going.

I'm very satisfied with Medical Alert! I feel a little more secure when I'm alone and I've had a very positive experience with it so far. It's a little too sensitive at times but they answer right away, they don't mind if the it's a false alarm or not. That is very much appreciated.

My mother was getting worried about my safety because my balance is bad, so we got the device that detects a fall. I know it works because I dropped it once already and they immediately came online. It really is a good thing.

Thank goodness I haven't had to use it, but I'm happy to have it. I am 95 years old so I think it was about time I bought it. They have done a great job! A good example is the time I fell and passed out; they sent help right away. I'm just very satisfied with the service.

Although I've never had to use it, they've offered a great service. The devices seemed very good as long as I checked in every month. I'm diabetic and ended up in the hospital a couple of years ago, so I needed this. So far, I've had a very positive experience with Medical Alert.

I just figured that I needed some kind of help if something happens to me and no one was around. I really haven't had to be in touch with them, but just knowing that I have it is very reassuring to me. They've been very helpful and I know that if I ever need them, I'll be taken care of.

I picked Medical Alert because you can take it with anywhere you go, although, to be perfectly honest, I haven't had to use it yet. I do have to say that it's always nice to have it there as an insurance. It makes me feel safe.

I like that they changed the first necklace I purchased for a smaller and lighter one. They really help a lot because; if you push the button they come right on and they also know who you are. Everybody I spoke with was good as well.

The one time I really needed it, I fell going to the bathroom, fell again in the bathroom. I got no response either time, I then pressed the button and waited for 7 or 8 minutes, I was able to get up finally and called 911 on my house phone. After about 12 to 15 minutes they finally responded.

Gail Greenville, RI

alert plug fell apart and short circuited my house. Called credit card to make sure no more charges went. Bank notified me that they would look over the matter. Meantime I called Medical Alert and informed them. My electrician came the following morning and verified it was the problem. This happened 3/31/23. Bank refunded me $37.50 and $10.00. Told Bank not to allow any more charges to my account. Medical Alert sent me 2 different bills with different amounts. Charging me for April, May, and June. I was told by Medical Alert because I stopped medical alert payments the matter wouldn't be settled until July 2023. I returned system back to Medical Alert who verified they had got it by 5/1/23. They added some kind of extra coverage to my account that I don't remember hearing about. I'm hard of hearing so therefore I will pay the extra money up to March 2023. They are billing me for April, May, and June. I want this settled before July of 2023. I am just short of 87, hard of hearing and cannot get around very well. I do not want a new Medical Alert system because of the run-a-round I have been getting. Gail Hebblewaite (aka Elizabeth G)

It is too easy to set off. Sleeping I will roll over and set off the siren and Emergency and sleep right through it. The person comes on and asks if I need help, thankful having someone pleasant to say no too. My grown children are happy that I have this since I live alone now.

I assume your system is automatic as when I called to notify you that I was without electricity to charge my system and not to call my children, they were called and I was reminded during the night to charge my unit. This is very disturbing and I sincerely hope you are able to find a fix for that problem.
