Medical Guardian

It meets my needs. I keep the device around my neck all the time and I feel comfortable with it. Everything is in in working order and it fulfills my medical needs. I'm satisfied with them.

I picked them based on the ads that they had. I only use it to test it once in a while. I like that I can take it with me to different locations but it is kind of expensive. Still, it's nice to have it as a back up if I ever need it.

Most days there's no one around in the house with me. So, on a typical day, I put it on in the morning and keep it on me until I go to bed. I use the bracelet, because I just don't like wearing pendants or necklaces all the time. It's not comfortable for me. I haven't had to use it yet but I've tested it in various areas of the house and it works well everywhere. They always come through and whenever I call them for that, or if I have any questions, they are very kind and courteous. It's well worth whatever it costs. I trust them and I know it will work in case of a real emergency.

I was interested in getting something like it after I had a bad fall and couldn't reach anyone. I saw them advertised on some magazine last year so I decided to give them a call and get it. I haven't had to use it but customer service has called me to check in on me and see if I needed anything.

A niece that works with doctors recommended this one to me. They have given me good service so far. I call in once a month to check it. They answer within 4 or 5 minutes, which is a good policy. I just tell them it's a test and not an emergency and everything is fine. They are always very kind, polite, and caring. Right now it's there as a sort of a back up support in case I need it. I feel like it's a good unit and a good thing to have.

I'm off and alone in my house. Since I'm 88 years old I could fall anytime, so I needed to have something to call for help if that happened. That's why I looked for a service like theirs. They were really the first ones that I heard about and the first ones that I applied to. They were just very kind and understanding when I talked to them and that was enough for me. I've never had to use it except for when I test the system, but I wear the button all the time, day and night. It's very comfortable.

My daughter was the one that decided to get it. She is a nurse and did some research before recommending this one to me. I never take it off and I've had to use it a couple of times already. They answer immediately and send help out right away. They also call and follow up with my children to let them know what's going on. They're just always on top of things and respond when I need them. I'm very pleased with them, they're very reliable.

This is now my second year with them and I've been pleased with it. I have not had to use it for an emergency yet, but I've created a lot of false alarms. They have been very responsive to those and usually all I have to do is tell them that I don't have an emergency or a need for it. It all seems to work well.

I have not had to use it yet and I hope I don't have to. It is just there for me if I need it. I haven't had any problems with them and their price isn't too high.

I'm 85 and live about 2 and a half hours away from my son's house. Although I'm in pretty good shape, you never know what could happen. I live in the woods so there's not that many people around that could help me if I need it, especially during the winter time. Because of that my son and I checked out a lot of different services and we both decided that they were the best ones out there. The device itself is good, though I don't like the string that it hangs from. It's kind of corny looking. I had a bit of a funny situation with the button once. I was over at my son's house taking care of their dogs while they were out on a trip. I had left my button at home on my dining table, but I was wearing the wristband. All of a sudden the phone rang in his house, so I answered. It was the Medical Guardian guys saying that they had gotten an alarm. They thought I was in trouble and dispatched people to my house. I told them to call it off because I was alright and they took care of that right away and did the right thing for me. Apparently what happened was that the carpenter that was doing some work around my house accidentally pushed the button. It was a funny situation, but it made me feel confident about the service. I feel secure knowing that if I have a problem they'll do what they need to do and I'll be alright.

I got it because they offered what I was looking for. I use the pendant, but I haven't tried it yet. It has gone off twice already by accident though. One of those false alarms happened in the middle of the night. I was unaware that I had pushed the button and they just showed up. I thought it was great that they came out even if it had been a false alarm on our part.

I saw an ad for them on TV, so I got it. I haven't had to use it yet, but I know it works fine. I do wish the service was cheaper...

I did a lot of research beforehand and since they were highly rated I picked them. Less than a month ago I had to use it when I fell out in the yard. They got me to the hospital, but everything worked very well. They met my needs right away. The only thing is that the battery on the device doesn't last very long. I have to put in a new battery way too often. I also wish I could take it with me on vacations or when I travel.

It has been a few years since I got it and I'm quite satisfied with it. The device is easy to carry on my belt and have it on me all the time. I haven't used it for an emergency situation yet, but I've tested it and it has gone off accidentally when I was carrying it in my pocket. Every time it has worked the way it's supposed to. It gives me a lot of security. I've seen they have a couple of new things that I want to order. One of them is the button that can detect the fall on its own and sent out an alert, even if you can't push the button yourself. They also have the thing that you can put on your door with an extra key. With that emergency services can come in to help me without breaking in.

One of my sons got this for me. I had to use it once when I fell. I was holding my pitbull's collar and at one point I lost my balance and fell on the floor. I broke my pelvic bone and couldn't get up, so I called them. Things went fine.

I had to use them once while I was in the shower. I got dizzy and fell in there, so I called. When the woman came on the line I kept telling her that I was laying on the bathroom floor, but she couldn't hear me. Later on they transferred me to another man that could hear me and that called my fianc' to get me up, but I had to wait an hour on the floor for them to do that.

My son picked this one out for me because he thought it was the best one. It's handy in case I need it. I've only used it one time and they came out and got me to the hospital in a manner of minutes. I was quite content with that. They were really good and took care of me.

I bought it for my elderly parents. The device is easy to use and very efficient. So far, customer service has able to answer any questions adequately.

It always works when I need it. We had a thing were all of our power went out and it brought our medical alert system down with it. They came out shortly after that, upgraded the system, and fixed everything for us. It wasn't that bad.

I wear it all day and night long. Every time I've needed it, they have been there for me. As soon as I mash the button they call my nurse, my sister, or somebody that can help. Within minutes, someone is there to help me.

Even though my health is not that great, I know I can relay on it and I'll be safe. The necklace is always on me. One time my little dog jumped on me and pressed the button accidentally. Their customer service was just brilliant. They called me and made sure that I was alright. They didn't want to hang up until they were really sure that I was ok. Everyone is really kind, brilliant, and sweet. I feel comfortable with it.

I saw some ads and decided to go with them. I'm 86 years old and have MS, so I'm kind of crippled. I fell down once so I pressed my mechanism to get help. It took several seconds for them to respond, but when they finally came on they did what they needed to do. Things were ok in the end, though it felt like I was waiting for several minutes before they responded.

I have to take care of my mother who is 93 years old. I'm in my seventies so it's a really good thing to have around. She usually has it around her neck and if we ever need it, all we have to do is grab the button and push it to get help. We've had to use it 3 times already. On one occasion my mother fell out of bed and hit her head so bad that it split and she started bleeding. They responded right away and asked us if we needed help. Someone got here quickly and helped us. I'm glad we have it here, it gives us security.

The features and price convinced me of getting it. One time I was out of town when my mom called them. She was having problems breathing so she hit the button and they were there for her in no time. They responded quickly, calmed her down, and things worked out well. Everything worked as advertised and, after that, my mother felt much better about having it with her. It has been worth every penny. It's a very cost effective and helpful system.

My wife is the one that took care of getting it for someone in her family. I think the choice came down to ease of access and price. The device itself seems to be easy to use.

My daughter picked it up because of the cost I think. One time I fell down and had to drag myself to the base unit to press the button because mine didn't work. It took them a while to get to the phone, the machine kept saying call in progress, but when I finally got them on the line they sent someone out for me. I called them afterwards to see why the button hadn't worked and they sent out a new one right away. The price is very high, especially considering that calling 911 would've been just as fast.

I switched to them because the other service that I had didn't take care of my needs at all. When I needed Medical Guardian, they came out right away and got me an ambulance very quickly.

The distance that it covered was what convinced me of getting it. I haven't had to use it, but they were there for me when I accidentally hit the button.

I didn't decide to get it, my daughter did. She has been on the medical field for quite a while and she was the one that found them and decided to go with them. As soon as I get up in the morning I put it on and make sure it's on. It works. I've had to use it a couple of times and they've always done the job quickly and easily. They have been good to me, I've had no problems with it.

I tried this and other services before picking Medical Guardian. I just thought they were the best. It's a very convenient thing, I use it every day. They have also given me good advice. I couldn't do without it.

When I called I found the representative to be very helpful, so I signed up on the spot. We got it for my mother and she has used it a couple of times already. Everybody has been very prompt and helpful. We're pleased with it.

I've never had to use it, I just carry it with me when I go out for a walk or something.

There was a time when we had to use it and they were just excellent. They were very prompt and sent someone out very quickly. They were very professional too.

I'm 84 years old and live alone. Last summer I was in the hospital when a nurse recommended some kind of medical alert service for me because I have osteoporosis and have broken a lot of bones. Since my grandson works for Medical Guardian, we decided to go with it. So far my experiences with them have been good. I have the device on me all the time, day and night. Earlier this year, towards the end of January, I apparently hit the button inadvertently. They called me back very promptly and followed through with me. I assured them that no one had fallen and that was it. They were very prompt and reassuring. Having it feels like there's someone else with me all the time, I feel much safer that way.

I got the device for my mother based on their price, the quality of the product, and their availability. It does what it's supposed to do and the price is fine. I'm happy with it.

I had a different system that just wasn't as good as Medical Guardian has been. I used it once and they were here promptly and took me to the emergency room. Though...I'll have to leave the service at the end of the year because I'm moving to a different facility. They have their own medical alert system there.

I have never had to use it but I have pressed the button twice to check it. I was able to get a hold of somebody and made sure that the device was working just fine. It does take quite a long time for someone to answer the phone though. They're not quick at that.

My daughter looked at all the different services and picked this one for me. I don't want to fall but I can't help it if that happens because of my bones, so I have it in case I need it. I have both a bracelet and a thing for my neck and I can wear either one. Once I accidentally pushed the bracelet one and they called me on the machine to see if I needed any help. That was the only time I used it but I'm happy that they answered immediately.

answered the call right away to check on my needs

Always ready for alerts, Takes very little space, never runs out of energy, get quick, automatic response to help.,

Easy device ,love it. The Guardian is a Life saver.

Does everything it advertises. The only issue I have is it is not hearing impaired friendly

Billing Issues; RECEIPT of paper bill does NOT allow enough time for payment to be sent back & rec'd by due date!!!!!!!!! Paper statement preferred by & to Lacey's; payment sent back same day bill rec'd & then not getting posted as paid by due date. This has been an ongoing problem since sign up last year. Parents very upset when notice rec'd of payment overdue when they comply as soon as possible for them . They WILL NOT do transactions electronically and 10+ business days should be sufficient time from check put in mail to payment posted on account. Rep named Reggie has assured repeatedly that this will not be a continuing problem, but it has been!

Debbie, thank you for reaching out. Rest assured that when your parents receive their quarterly invoice, they are not overdue. The invoice generates automatically in their system on their due date, but there is a period of 20 days after that for them to pay their bill. They will incur no late fees and are not considered late with their payment at this point. If you have any other questions about this billing issue, feel free to reply directly to this message. Have a great weekend!
