I picked it after talking to a couple of companies and comparing their rates and services. In the end, I picked them. They were very helpful and fast in providing me the service that I needed and in answering any questions I had.

I went online and since they had decent reviews I called them. They were really helpful, very easy to deal with, and not pushy at all. The only thing I've done is call them to set it up. They were very helpful and it was all very quick and painless. I've been very happy up until this point.

We needed something that would work both away from the house and inside of it so we ended up with this one. I've had it for months now and it has worked out. I have accidentally triggered it once and somebody answered right away. It sounded like they were ready and willing to work.

We take all button presses very seriously, as we have no indication whether or not it is an accident until we hear a response from you.

Thank you for choosing Lifestation, and thank you for your review Bill.

I researched about it and picked it based on the needs of a family member. They are very knowledgeable. When setting up the system they were very organized, patient, and polite with us. It worked out very well. The system works, it's very easy to use and affordable.

The AARP gave them a recommendation and since I liked it I just went with it. I've only had it for a week but I've already tested it and set it off by mistake. It just works fast. Every time I've called they've been quite responsive.

We never know if the button press is due to an accident or an actual incident, so we always strive to answer every call as quickly as possible.

I got it because it met all my needs including the fact that it has the GPS, so it isn't limited to my home. I have had some false alarms and they're very responsive and very quick. They're also very forgiving. The only thing is that the button doesn't really hold its charge well but that's a minor detail.

Reply from LifeStation

We are aware that false alarms can happen rather easily. The button is sensitive since it needs to be able to register a fall, but a downside of this is that at times it can go off when there is no need.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review Sharol.

I picked it based on the cost and the strong reviews I read. The sales staff was very accommodating and they certainly provide great service. They're committed to that. It's a bit too easy to set the alarm off by just moving around but it certainly works.

Reply from LifeStation

There have been many concerns about how the button can be easily set off, but it needs to be sensitive enough to be able to detect a fall.
Unfortunately the side effect of this is that at times it can be activated when you are not in a serious situation.

Sabrina Royster, daughter of client. Winlock, WA

It makes me feel better knowing that LifeStation is able to tell if my mother has fallen or she can touch the button if she needs help. I don't like that it goes off when she is just sitting still, and the person still calls her contact people and the ambulance even when she follows instructions to press button if she is okay. That they still call her contacts upsets them for no reason. Has happened a few times in last 4-5 months.

I am sorry to hear that Sabrina.

If the device went off accidentally and your mother was able to say that it was just an accident, the monitoring specialist should not have called the names on her contact list.

Basically, I needed the service for my father. I think they were the same company that I had gotten for my mom, and since it had been so beneficial I got it for my dad too. Customer support has been helpful, they explained everything to me clearly. I've had no issues with them. During the couple of times that I tested the service I thought that it took a little too long for someone to respond. I would've liked it if the response came on a bit more quickly.

My girlfriend was the one that chose it for me. I mainly got it for her peace of mind, though it also gives me some security knowing that it's there. The button appears to be cheap, but I've accidentally set it off and it seems to work. They respond and react after I push the button, especially if they get no response back from me. Though in my first experience testing the equipment it took them several minutes to respond. Fortunately, I haven't had to use it for an emergency.

The service was referred to me by Kaiser. I really haven't had to use it but they have been very responsive when I hit the button on my wrist. I love the fact that I have the lock box on my door. That way emergency personnel can come in when management is not around without having to break down the door.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review.

The lockbox is one of our more underrated extras that we have with our system. It would be very unfortunate to have a fall and press the button only to then have your door knocked down trying to get to you. Having the lockbox avoids that issue entirely and it helps you feel a bit more safe knowing that the people who need it will have proper access to your home.

I checked with other companies and after researching them I decided to go with LifeStation. The device is easy for my sister to use. When we tested it and tried to get a hold of somebody it turned out that we had to change the button and upgrade it. There was a bit of a misunderstanding between whoever was on the other end and us. I don't think they really understood what we wanted done and they ended up sending my sister the button instead of sending it to me first. What happened after that was that my sister put on the new necklace on without realizing that it hadn't been activated. If I hadn't talked to her after she got it, it wouldn't have worked if she had needed to use it. I think there should be better communication between the people that do the upgrades and take care of the paperwork.

I wanted to have something that my husband could have in case he needed help. He wore the bracelet part, but when we actually needed them they didn't respond. I pressed the button because he had fallen and they never called or anything. I ended up calling 911 for help myself. I thought it was all supposed to be a quick response but they didn't even call. They did text a couple of people, but that was not what we needed. I wasn't really happy with that. The button had worked once before when we pressed it by mistake. I hit it and they called immediately. It was just that when it was really necessary, they didn't call.

We were referred to them by Kaiser. They have been very responsive whenever we have a problem or when we do the monthly checks to ensure that the system is working. I haven't really used it outside of that, but it seems to work. The value that you get for the price is great.

We looked into it some time ago and the price was one of the things that made us settle on it. Service in general was important too so we considered that as well. The only issue I have with the equipment is that the base thing doesn't speak loud enough when it starts saying 'emergency.' I want to have a different one that speaks louder since this one doesn't seem fit enough for that. I've had a lot of false alarms but they always respond promptly. They got that just right.
