The person hasn't had to use it for an emergency, but she's tested it a few times. Every time we call them they have been awesome, and anyone that comes on the phone is great and funny. The device itself is easy to wear too. It's always been easy and a very nice company to deal with.

I needed something that was a fast alert system and not extremely pricey for my mother. Thankfully, she has never had to use it, but she wears it mostly while she's outside of the house. She always carries the little pager on her purse, just in case. They have been reasonably good, but I did get double billed, it think that was because we switched between two bank accounts when the charge was being processed. I never heard back from them, but I know they were going to refund me. Other than that, everything has gone smoothly, they are on top of things and communicate with me.

My wife has used it once, when she fell down. I guess I couldn't quite hear her at first, but I heard the voice that she was talking to. Though, instead of calling me they called 911. It wasn't really an emergency, she just needed some help to get up. We like it because the wristband and the little necklace are easy to use, though she prefers the necklace part.

My mother uses the necklace piece every day and has no complaints. Whenever she uses it, things have been taken care of without issues. Customer service has always been professional and helpful, even when I called to replace things that went out.

I got it for my husband since he was home alone at the time while I worked. Customer service has been great. Our dog ate the alarm a few times but they talked to us and helped us sort it out quickly! They're very efficient and they do what they say they're goanna do.

I chose it because it seemed the best and I liked the feature where you can just answer the phone from the emergency button. I haven't used it for anything other than to check on it. Still, whenever I called them I got good information. I do not like the wrist band though, for a person like myself with very limited hand mobility it is very hard to put it on or take it off. It needs to have some kind of expendable wrist band so you don't have to struggle with it.

I got the device for my mother in law and she had it for a short time before she had to go to assisted living. She never really used it much, but customer service was always very quick. They got on the phone and answered any questions we had very rapidly. They told us exactly what to do every time we called to check on the unit and stuff. Once she moved to assisted living we had to return the device, of course, and we didn't have any problems sending it back. They just did what they said they would do.

I haven't had any problems with them, though I haven't had an emergency where I have to use it in the 2 years that I've had it. One time our fire went out and disconnected the service from the satellite, so they called me to make sure I was ok and told me what had happened. I had to get back online, but even for the 48 hours that it was down, my LifeStation device still worked.

Usually, when I go to bed, I put it on my bed side. If I'm going out on the automobile or travel long distances, I will carry it with me. I haven't had to use it much, the one time I did I had to wait a little to get through to somebody. It wasn't a ridiculous amount of time, it was ok. One time I got a call all of a sudden. I'm still not sure why that happened, but I think it might've been a monthly call to make sure the service was working properly. The only problem I ever had was when I ordered it it took 89 days until I got it, but the service was up and running the moment I took it out of the box. I have no reason to doubt the service.

I wear it every day, but luckily I haven't had to use it lately. I have two buttons, one belonged to my son who recently passed away, so I kept his. I wear the string around my neck, and I wear the one on my arm sometimes. I test them once a month, and they always answer right away. Customer service people have always been perfect. Once I was doing something outside, trying to reach over and water our plants. I fell over so I punched the button and the fireman came out and treated me really well. They called me by my first name and asked me if I had hit my head and if I was hurt. Other than that, my only problem is that the thing that I have now is horribly big and bulky. They had to exchange it at first because they said the battery was dead or something. Now the wrist one is very uncomfortable. Whenever they get smaller devices for your arm, I'd love to have those.

I've been very happy with it. My husband uses it, and we've never had an emergency, but he has set it off by mistake a couple of times. They have been very nice about that, and anytime I had a problem they helped me with it. I like that they have a GPS, because that way my husband is not stuck at home, he can go out more with the dogs this way.

As for customer service, they have been good. Every time I had a question and call them, I got a really good response right away. When we do test the system it works well and it's very responsive.

I got it because Kaiser recommended that for their patients. I thought that, since they did that, the product was probably really good. I haven't had to use it, but I call once a month or so to make sure it's working. Every time I've called them, they've been very nice, polite, and friendly.

She couldn't move, so she hit the panic button and they contacted me and 911. They've been fantastic and very prompt. It was god send when they sent that ambulance there.

The service came from my health plan with Kaiser. They had everything I needed, so I went with them. I don't use it everyday, but I've fallen outside of my house. The only problem when that happened was that they called my contacts first before they called the ambulance. I had to press it again, you know, my kids and my contacts were all busy, so I laid there for quite a while. Other than that, they took care of me. I'd like them to get my lost box back at me though.

My aunt is 88 years old and she's all by herself. She has fallen at night a couple of times and she has had to activate it. They always come and help her get back up. I haven't had to deal with customer service other than when she activates the alarm and they call me. It seems to work fine, and the service is good. The only thing is that she has had the same device with the same battery for 2 years, and since she doesn't test it I don't know if it still works. But other than that it gives me peace of mind and gives my aunt safety. They are very dependable and they seem to be doing a good job.

The device is for my Mom, she's 88 years old and very unstable. She has fallen a couple of times and has been able to push the button and contact them. Since she's in assisted living, they contact the nurse station who goes and checks on her. They also contact me to let me know something happened. Every time she falls she has been able to push the button and alert someone. So far we're very satisfied, but I think there's still room for improvement. I'm not sure where, but I'm sure they can.

I don't really wear it, I don't take it with me. The only thing I do is if I take a shower I take it in the bathroom and I put a hook in the shower and I hang it there so then in case I would fall in the tub or somewhere in the bathroom I would have it available. I don't have a problem with mobility and I don't even need this any longer.

Life Station's representatives have always been very helpful. We had a problem recently, where my mother fell and the machine wasn't doing what it normally does, but it still went off, so they ended up calling her and talking to her, which was very helpful. They've just been great everytime we've talked to them, and I've been pleased with everything. It's nice to know that, even with all the false alarms, the machine is working correctly now. I do have to say though, my mother does get frustrated with all the false alarms.

They're not frustrating at all. I've always gotten good service and I like the security it affords me but I don't like the weight around my neck. Before I got it I did have a fall and I laid on the floor for a couple of hours so life station is worth the costs for the security.
