The Bottom Line

The company's monitoring service is available around the clock and even on holidays, providing much-needed accessibility and peace of mind to seniors and their families.

There are six different medical alert service plans that come with extra features at an affordable price to meet the needs of different people.

There are no long-term contracts, activation fees, or installation costs which makes it simple to begin service. Medical Care Alert offers an equipment warranty, however, warranty limitations require users to run a test to see if the system works before sending it back. If you don't do this before returning, you may have to pay a $50 fee.

I first heard about Medical Care Alert from a flier that I saw in the newspaper. My mother wears a bracelet and when she needs it she pushes the button and then they come. She lives alone and has fallen down in the past, and we wanted to make sure that she could get some help when she needs it. Customer service works very well; we've only needed it once, and that wasn't easy, because she fell while I had unplugged the machine while cleaning, and unfortunately I unplugged the telephone too, so I couldn't hear them call when they called to check on us, but it works fine. It's been very good so far overall.

My Dad died a couple of years ago and my Mom can't see very well, and we just wanted something extra. She was having some problems and issues, and we wanted to make sure in the event of some kind of emergency she would have a way of getting ahold of us if she fell or something. I got it after I looked it up online. It's a pendant she wears around her neck. We're extremely satisfied with the customer service. It's done very well. When sometimes she's set it off accidentally, the people that call, or the people that answered the alarm have been very, very helpful and very kind, and we've had a very good overall experience.

We needed this service for my wife and I, because of the accidents we've had, and because we're by ourselves. My daughter got it for us after I fell and broke my leg. My wife is short on breath; she's on oxygen 24/7, and my kids got scared that if I fell or something, she couldn't get me up, and she'd have to call for help. I thought this was a good thing to get, since we can just push the button around our neck and it would go directly to the alert company and then they will follow up. I wish it connected to the cell tower instead of just direct to the phone line. That way you wouldn't need to worry about somebody tying up the phone line or the phone going dead on you. That's only negative thing I would have to say. As long as the phone line works in it, it's great. It even worked when the lady who works for us brought us out to the street, where we tested the button, and it still worked. The customer service has been excellent, and we've had a good experience overall.

Medical Care Alert has been one of the best and most well-known providers of medical alert services in the industry, so we had heard about it before by word of mouth. My wife has Alzheimer's dementia, and the Alzheimer's association also had a recommendation in their brochure and on their website. I wanted some backup in case my wife got lost, she's been lost a couple of times and that's what I was looking for, prevention or safety for her. I found their service to be excellent. Fortunately, we've been able to get by with very very minimum use of the services so in that sense we have absolutely no complaints. I like one of the things they do, which is that they follow up on a regular basis.

My overall experience with them has been excellent. It gave me access to going outside and going around my neighborhood. The various times that I've spoken to them, they've been on top of every question I had. I've also had my equipment replaced, and everything went smoothly. On top of that, their customer service is great. That just makes me stay with Medical Care Alert.

After my husband died, my son was looking into different services like this one, mostly because I'm older and live alone now. I like it very much. During the winter, I go down to Florida. We're able to just take it with us, and continue using it wherever I am! I think a lot of them don't have that privilege. On top of that, their customer service agents are always cooperative. They're always there, and it's comforting to know that there's somebody there for you in case something happens, because neither of my children live locally.

I heard about Medical Care Alert from neighbors. I decided to get it because I'm 84 years old. Their customer service is calming; it makes you feel little safer that you have somebody to call. They're very conscientious, they were there at the drop of a hat if something happened, to see whether it's an accident that you push the button. They're very, very responsive. It makes me feel more calm that I have somebody that I can call in case of an accident.

I have the around-the-neck push-button, panic-button system, and it worked just fine. I was very happy. I have had a couple of falls, so my daughter subscribed to it for me. Their customer service is a top service, it's very good. I think we all are very pleased with the service. I like the fact it was personal and that the people were very helpful when I needed them.

It was recommended to me by a physical therapist, but think I first heard about it from a magazine ad. I like using it just fine, the system I like is not the one with the telephone with you, but the one that I wear, the GPS directly on my person, and I have it with me all the time, because I fall frequently. The customer service has been fine, and I've had no problems with the service overall.

I'm 84 I'm going on 85. I walk a dog and I'm still driving and I just felt it was a good security for myself. I live in a retirement home here in Vancouver and I heard about it from our other residents. I fell one time and within 5 minutes I had help here. I think it's terrific, I wouldn't be without it. If I bump it, it goes off and I know somebody's there to help me.

I would say I'm very satisfied with what I've got. You've got to learn what the equipment can do and then learn how to adjust to what time you're using it, and it works very well. I got online and I got list of 10-20 Medical Alert systems, and I picked out the one that's best applied to what I needed. I've had quite a few false alarms; the apparatus came off my belt, and it did alert, so I know it works. It gives me a sense of comfort, because if I need somebody, I can use it. It's just very good! They're very efficient and I'm very satisfied so far.

When we ordered it they explained to us all about it, but so far we haven't have to use it, thank goodness. We charge them every night, but we have been so blessed and we have not had to use it at all.

My nephew did some research and of all the companies he researched, he felt Medical Care Alert was the best. The customer service is fine. I have a pendant that I wear and it works well. The only concern that I have is I really don't like the cloth strap. I'm still working full time in the fashion industry, and what I've finally done is to put a silver chain through the pendant and wear it that way. I'm trying to get the courage to cut off the cloth one. I wish there was a different option. The only time that I've used it is when I accidentally set it off. Besides that, I haven't had an issue where I actually need the service; it just gives us peace of mind.

Overall pretty good, though the cell service that they use is spotty and the monitor was pretty large to wear. Customer service is good. When we enrolled it seemed a good one to go with for GPS and fall detection. When you end your service be sure to send every little thing back or they will charge you - even for a small plastic belt clip. I had to ask for an itemized bill to see what they were charging us for.

My mother has not used it yet, and she's satisfied with the service. If she falls in the garden, we'd be able to locate her. There is a problem however. She's so fragile, that it's hard for her to put on the wristband and attach it. I would think on re-doing the wristband.

I went and did a search on the internet to find out about it. I thought I needed it for when I travel and also when I'm home, because I live alone. The customer service is good, though the device itself is not as good as I thought it would be, and it's pretty bulky. I live where there's not really good reception, so if I pushed the button while in the house the signal would need to go through a window, but if I fell over and couldn't move I couldn't very well get to a window. It's good overall, though.

I'm a nurse so I was aware of this alert buttons being available. I fell down on my cellar stairs and I live alone, so my daughter found it on the computer. I purchased it, and I'd say the alert button seems a little larger than some of the other buttons that I've, seen. I also didn't like the strap they gave me; I put it on a chain of my own.

My husband has advanced Parkinson's disease, and after a lot of falls, we purchased one the fall detection service. Their customer service is excellent, but we're having trouble with the pendant. Charging the system can be a problem. We leave it charging all night, and it's not ready to use the next day. Another issue is that it doesn't catch all the falls. My husband had a very bad fall a couple of weeks ago, and it didn't catch it at all. There have been other times where the system detects a fall, but everything is okay, so we're thinking of looking into other companies.

I got it a couple of years ago and use it. It's been quite satisfactory. I thought the price was quite reasonable. There is a modular that works with the phone system. I wear a monitor so that if I have a problem, I can punch a button and get a reply. It is on a landline phone. I don't have covering when I am out of the area. I think they have done quite well. The price was one of the reason's I choose them. If I should run into a problem where I am semi incapacitated. I push a button, and it transmits an alarm message to the company over my phone system. They will call back, through the monitor I wear. I would hear on the monitor and be able to converse with them. So far I have only used it as a test or accidentally pressed the alert. They were quick on the line back, and I was able to apologize and tell them accidentally triggered the alert. That gave me a feeling of confidence when I accidentally pressed it.

I have had Life Alert from Medical Care Alert for my Mom for about a year now. She has Dementia and I feel that it is important that she has extra protection and comfort as well as for me it help's my peace of mind that she know's how to use it and she's comfortable with it. She has had to use it 3 time's and we are happy with the results of the customer service team that answer's the phone and dispatches people out to our house as needed.. At Medical Care Alert they are all very nice and professional and care about the person who is calling and their concerns. There is nothing better than knowing Life Alert can save a persons life, since I have gotten the system for my Mom, I have encouraged many of our friends to get it for their loved one's. Don't ever be fooled thinking an emergency wouldn't happen to you or a loved one, it can happen to anyone and knowing that even if family is not home with you or your loved one, your never alone with Life Alert. from Medical Care Alert.

it has been a year that we have had our medical care alert system and we have just renewed it at the same price--we will never have to pay a higher price to keep our system. we fortunately have not had to use it except, for our inquisitive 4yr. old granson who pushed the button but they called and said we didn't have to worry as long as everything was okay. I cannot begin to tell you about the service Jessica and Sue have given us, they are indeed an asset to the company that Bryan runs. we feel well protected and safe with our additional family at MEDICAL CARE ALERT. hopefully, we will be calling them only to tell them we are okay WE RATE ALL OF THEM BETTER THAN A 10. .

Ask yourself, what the the price of Peace of Mind? We found that after my 89yr old mother-in-law fell, in her home, last August, when she had fallen and was crying and pleading for help for almost 6 hours . It was 3 am when I was up and noticed her lights still on so thats when we found her. She lives right across the street from our house, our last visit of the day is between 6-8pm. I decided right then we need some type of alert system. After researching numerous alert systems, what they offered, pros and cons, comments, Medical Care Alert had different variations of systems to match our needs or upgrades. I made the call to Brandon at Medical Care Alert, asked questions, NO pressure, Brandon explained each systems to ensure we weren't buying a system to fit our needs. There was no hard sell, the system sells itself! All it takes is a push of a button to sound the alert, you speak directly to them, they make the calls, your job, provide comfort until help arrives! Peace of Mind!

Customer Service is very good. The only problem I have with them is I wish they had a wrist band in addition to the neck lanyard. I tried the belt clip and it is uncomfortable.

Although the customer service is good, and the equipment is alright, I think it takes longer than it should to connect to a real person. I'm disappointed with that. If I continue to have this problem, we'll probably be looking into another service.

We can't be with my elderly mother, so we purchased the Pendant for her, as well as the box in the house that's hooked up to her Wi-Fi. The equipment is good, and the representatives are fine as well.

My mother is in another state without a caregiver, so that's why we purchased this service for her. We've been perfectly happy with their customer service, and the equipment itself has been satisfactory. Our experience with them has been alright.

My wife is handicap, and the system is very easy for her to use. We just like using it; it's worked fine for us. Plus, their customer service is very good.

I'm at home alone all day and I tend to fall because of my medical condition. We don't have a home phone; we only have cell phones, and there were only two or three companies that worked with that. We researched those three, and of the three, the reviews and the cost made us choose Medical Alert. The customer service is mixed. When I've pushed the button, I've gotten a very good response; help has come, but I've also had false alarms when I have been using my walker. When it works, it works well. When it has false alarms, it's not working well.

I've been satisfied with the customer service and the overall experience with Medical Care Alert. Because of a fall risk, I got the cellphone system after I learned about it on the internet, and it's nice, it works.

Their representatives have been good, and the overall experience has been good as well. My daughters didn't want me here without something, so they decided to get the service for me. So far, it's been a positive experience.

After doing some research online, I contacted a woman through the phone. She was just so personal and concerned, and that really sold me the service, I haven't talked to her ever since I purchased it, but I would love to. Although I haven't had to use it, as far as I know, the device works just fine.
