I would recommend Medical Guardian to anyone with a difficulty in health. The necklace is fine except that it sometimes bumps into things and the alarm gets set off and I have emergency contact with the staff.

I like that it's a protection for me and that I can use it for falls or whatever. The only complaint I have is that it goes off too fast. It doesn't even have to hit the ground and the machine makes an alert but I can press it and just continue, but the other thing that I could use is a new grip that ties in the back of your neck to hold the string. That fell apart right away so I just had to make a knot. Other than that, it's been perfect.

Medical Guardian gives me security, I feel fine with it. The quality seems fine. I've never used it, but I have tested it when I accidentally hit the button and they answered immediately.

Well actually you know when I press the button to test it it goes through and you know I can hear everything really good and your person in the other end seems to know who I am.

I just like the way that it will alert people. I like it that if I fell and knocked myself unconscious the impact or the acceleration would also call headquarters and tell them to give me help.

Two separate times my button went off and I was not called to see if I needed help. They called my daughter in NYC instead even though my daughter who lives 1 mile from me was supposed to be called first. They sent ambulance before my daughter in NYC was called. They did not call me first and I had my phone with me as I always keep my phone nearby. Three times I have talked to someone in the office about this issue that keeps happening. They just check monitor and say it’s ok. The last time it went off the monitor said 3 times call in progress and then stopped, but no one came on and asked me if I needed help and a few minutes later my daughter in NYC called me to see I was ok and I said yes and she said they had called her and had an ambulance on the way and it arrived a few minutes later. The last person I talked to about this said maybe the person monitoring did not have her headset on. There is no excuse for that. If this happens again I will cancel and go somewhere else.

Satisfied with service so far and have had good response when testing the device or accidently activating it. Question why blue signal comes on and off intermittently. Don't recall it doing so when initially began using it. Not satisifed with why this is doing so when I questioned one of the responders. Otherwise all is good.

In general they are very good. I am very happy with the service. I get good response times. The only problem I have with it involved getting used to it more. It seems to be very sensitive so I am learning to be more careful.

My mom is the one who wears it and we like the sense of security it provides for her. They are very quick to respond. She is hard of hearing so it can be a little difficult for. It would be nice if there was a Bluetooth connection for her hearing aid, that would be really helpful.

Customer support has been great and the cost works for a family and that was a huge factor in our decision and it still meets her needs because she doesn’t have internet coverage.

Medical Guardian has given me a greater sense of security since I live by myself and have health problems. I feel protected. It has done everything they promised. The people respond when I test my device each month.

Well it's a little bit heavy, it gets in the way sometimes. I have tested it in my bra and stuff and then its not so bad, the cord is a little bit long on it for me, it'll be okay for taller people. It went off accidentally when I bent over that chair or something and I accidentally hit the button.

One of my cats knocked it off my nightstand and they called within two to three seconds. The response time was good. I am satisfied. I wish I had before my wife passed because I could have called 911 faster.

Within a minute they answered. It was fast. One time it went off by mistake and they sent the ambulance. They were ready to take me to the hospital. I do wish there was a key in a box outside.

Its comforting for me to have service at my finger tips. I like that it is lightweight but I don’t like the cord around my neck. It would be perfect if it was a ribbon. It works fine. The person was nice and competent. If I ever really needed it, whoever answered would do their best to help me.

Medical Guardian was a Christmas present from my family. I like that it is readily available. I don’t like it when I accidentally hit the button and it goes off but if I do somebody always comes on and asks if I am okay.

I like that it works independently and it does not rely on some base unit in the house and I like that I can wear it in the shower but I dislike the charging base, it does not make good contact.

I really like that you can wear this device around your neck rather than on your arm. You can also take their device in the shower. When you test it, they immediately answer and are patient with you.

You can wear this device around your neck, but it gets too heavy and in the way when you bend over because it jerks on your neck. Whenever I've tested the device they're very prompt to answer. So far, I've been very pleased with it.

It gives us peace of mind knowing my mother in law has help if she needs it through her medical alert device. We haven't had any problems with it during testing. I did notice however that it takes a long time to get the call through to someone which is kind of concerning. Every time we've called customer service they've been very good to us.

The device seems very simple because all you do is press the button and someone is there to talk to you. We tested it once and within 15 seconds someone else was on the phone asking what you needed. We haven't had any issues with it so far and we're very happy with it.

It seems fine. The one thing I don’t like is the thing you put around your neck is much to long if you’re not very tall. It goes down to my belly. That is my biggest complaint. I like it much better than the other one I had before. This one is more compact.

I like the fact that it gives you the option to either wear it as a pendant or a watch. You can plug the system into the wall and it doesn't take up a lot of space. When we tested the device, it was easy to use and figure out.

If I need them, they are there when I call. I can notify somebody to come and help me if I need it. I accidentally had it in my pocket instead of around my neck and when I bent over, it dialed the alert and they called me and I told them. I have already recommended it to my sister and she bought it.

It’s worthy I think. It’s good. I wear it all the time except at night because I know I will probably set it off if I roll over it so I hand it on my door knob where it is within reach.

The ease in which to use the unit on a daily basis. Not having to be concerned about charging every day is a huge plus. Although the unit is a bit heavy for all day use. The strap is very comfortable

Thank the lord we were able to procure it in time to make my mother’s life a little easier. It works. My mother fell and she pushed the button and that brought the EMTs to the house. I am very pleased with the service.
