The part I liked best was detailing the equipment and the three programs. The part I liked least was detailing the needs for the service. I knew of them.

Too many phone calls and text messages before we even got started. When I received it I knew I needed to install it but the fact that I have a job and don't have a bunch of spare time isn't considered.

4 stars because we just received life alert. But everything I was told has happened so far. And I pray that life alert will not be used but because she had 2 major falls in1 month.

Forced into long term contract with the inability to cancel other than nursing home or death. Service is over priced and mediocre. I didn’t provide a pin,so they called my friend and told her I had a heart attack, which caused her husband to race over here. So now none of my friends will believe you. Your call center people are assholes to do this. Disgusting company. I would have had immediate service if I dialed 911 myself. If I couldn’t speak they would have come anyway. With you, it appears if I can’t speak and my friends aren’t available minutes would be wasted. I just no longer trust you. I feel I have been taken advantage of at my weakest time.

I will never use LifeAlert after the scare tactics they tried to instill. I was considering them and called to discuss options and pricing. I spoke with George M and the told the equipment price was $268.00 and the monthly fee was $90.00. I explained that I was going to call a few other companies and he could call me back the next day. I did find a company that was no equipment fee, no activation, and free shipping along with a fall detection for over half the price of LifeAlert. When George M called me back and I explained we decided to go with another company he proceeded to tell me "Well, when your father falls and the other company doesn't respond and he lays on the floor for hours you know how to reach me" and hung up. I do not appreciate the scare tactic and in my opinion he could have maybe tried to offer a discount if he wanted my business.

We cannot recommend this company. This company uses deceptive and dishonest practices and their salesmen are so poorly trained that they cannot be trusted to give reliable information. We tried the standard pendants and the GPS pendant in a remote area where cell service is not always reliable. We were misled by the salesman as to what the system was capable of. We were told that with the GPS unit, we would be able to locate our mother if she wandered. The salesman told us that he has personally helped family locate loved ones himself with the GPS pendant. In subsequent conversations with customer care and the billing department, this was confirmed to be completely untrue as it is not possible for Life Alert to locate the GPS pendant. It must be activated by the user in order for the pendant to be located. In the case of memory patients that wander, the promise made by the salesman is cruel and unsafe. The salesman also assured us there would be absolutely no charge if the system didn't work. We specifically asked about installation and setup charges and any "re-stocking" fees. The salesman assured us that all charges would be refunded and we would pay zero if the system did not work for us. Instead, we were charged $197 for the equipment set-up and shipping and $64.42 for the first partial month service. After we returned the unit (we tested and returned it immediately as it did not meet the promised expectations), we were told that none of that was refundable (we did end up getting this company to agree to refund all of the money, after several phone calls and discussions with higher level managers). Overall, this was a frustrating and time consuming experience and we're still searching for a solution. As others have said, Life Alert is among the most expensive services out there, with a long term contract that is very difficult to cancel. We recommend that you stay away from this company.

Dear Drew Hogan, we can't find your account with Life Alert. You posted the same complaint under a different name before which also didn't connect to any accounts, and we tried to reach out to you in order to help. However, there was no response. We would like to investigate the issues as we strive to provide a great customer service. We have been saving lives of people since 1987 and are the only company with proven track record of saving lives every 11 minutes. Please contact us at wecare@lifealert.com. Thank you.

My mother-in-law recently fell in her home and in spite of having Life Alert was unable to call for help. When we called for a welfare check she was discovered on the floor, where she had been for some time. Unfortunately, she will be unable to return to her home and will no longer need Life Alert. When I called to let Life Alert know of the situation, the first thing that was said was, “You signed a 3-year contract.” A more appropriate response, and one that would have been far less off-putting and abrasive might have been, “I am so sorry to hear that she fell. This must be a very stressful time for you. We want to make this process as easy as possible. Though you signed a contract, all you need to do is get a note from her doctor saying she can’t return home and we’ll be able to help you make arrangements to return the equipment.” This is my first experience with Life Alert and it will most definitely be my last. I went with a competing company when we needed this type of service in the past and will be sure to go back to them should we need it again. I would not recommend this company to anyone.
