I have epilepsy and had numerous falls, so it was time to get Medical Alert. Although it has a few bugs, it really is a good service. I like using it, even if the Pendant is too sensible.

The main reason I got Medical Alert is because I'm 89 years old and so far it's been great! Not much has happened yet, but I had the fire department show up after I pressed the button by accident, so it makes me feel very secure.

I had a lot of trouble with the first one I got. We had a hard time getting it to work, I believe it was the reception of the apartment I live in. Besides that, they have good customer service. I haven't had to use it that much, but overall, the service is fine.

I actually feel safe with Medical Alert because they immediately respond when I do the monthly test, or even when I accidentally set it off. It provides me the knowledge of knowing that I, if I ever needed it, I'll get help.

It works! I was taking a shower and although, you can wear it in the shower, I hung it on a towel bar within my reach. It wasn't secure on the towel bar and fell to the floor. Immediately the alarm went off and within seconds an operator was on the unit asking if I was needing help. I explained that I was okay and that it fell on the floor accidently and I was okay. I felt foolish, but, relieved that it worked and she heard my voice.

I did not know it needed cellular. I don’t have any . We moved the base to every window. I was going to return it but kept it hooked up while I looked for another brand. Today I knocked over my walker and a friend came to me saying someone is talking in the kitchen. I went and turned it off quickly and in time to cancel the call. The fall button is very sensitive. I will keep it and make sure it works. I have it facing the window and in it is under pendant light. I had called to make sure the call was cancelled. When I was setting it up I didn’t realize I hit the button. All of a sudden 2 police and 2 paramedics were at my door. Q

The main reason I got a Medical Alert it was because of my wife, she works on Swing Shift. She always little busy during the day all the time. I am US Disabled Veteran and I have other disabilities too. When you are homebound disabled person, YOU have to make YOU strong. People Will - stop dropping in, stopping by for a visit and in end, the phone calls now have been far and few. I didn't want to be alone while she was out and working. So Gussie, my little dog, he's a long hair wiener dog he thinks he is a German Shepherd. So I thought about getting a Medical Alert. and so I wouldn't hesitate to use it if I need it. So I made my self stronger and independent . VA thinks it's very good for me. I think it's very good for Mark. Mark A Critser Woodburn, OR

I went with this home fall detect unit and had it for 5 months absolutely loved it exclamation. The price was right for myself. The people on the other end for emergency calls are very friendly and helpful one time they were backed up and didn't respond as quick but for the most part they're very fast. They also offered one free month and a lock box. They have Southern Accents no hard to understand foreign language accent. I then decided because I fell twice at work and once walking to call and ask about their mobile units. This is where became frustrating for me the first unit worked for fall detect it was the same price as I was paying for my home device but $10 more for fall detect on the go unit which I thought it was okay and worth it as they would be able to GPS my position. Setup work great fall the tech twerk then in shower it turned on the next day I realize from a fall that fall detector was no longer working so I believe it shorted out they sent me a replacement very quickly within 2 days unfortunately fall detect did not work they sent me another replacement fall the tech did not work on the go unit. Now they are sending me the Elite model for the same price but she has given me two months free for as long as I hold the unit so it works out to be the same price as I was paying for the home unit. I'm hoping that this one will work. Even though my mother is frustrated and says the system is junk which I'm on the edge about technology can fail technology is not a hundred percent. I'm very young and I've been enjoyed the home unit I'm just working out the Kinks for the go unit which I would not recommend the elite unit seems a little more complicated but having more things to carry so I will give it a try. So far service 4 the dispatchers, troubleshooters, and testing anyone that I've spoken with has been so helpful and polite amazing help that is why I'm willing to give the elite a try if it does not work then I would have to say in Canada it's not very good for mobile unit but I will see home unit price was right and comparable to others and very friendly service so yes home unit is good for Canadians with my experience. I hope from Reading other people's reviews if I do decide to go with another service provider that I do not have trouble with finances and getting it back I will write more reviews later

I purchased this service for my parents. I recognize that medical alert systems is a highly competitive arena. Like a lot of industries, the breakout for me is hands down Customer Service. I called today about an issue that my folks were having. I was very impressed with the reps that I talked to. My impression was that was talking to people with a lot of integrity. So much so that I feel that I am new ambassador for "Medical Alert." They are the best!.

Have not had to use this yet, but even when I dropped it, they immediately responded as the “drop” to them was considered a “fall” and they wanted to make sure I was alright! SO nice to know they are there if needed! They even told me not to worry when I apologized for dropping it! They just wanted, again, to make sure I was OK, and would've sent help had I needed it!

You received my returned products on 2/26/26. On March 10th, Norleen confirmed that my refund had been processed on 3/2/26. Here I sit on 3/17/26 with no refund posting to my charge account. I have attempted 4 separate calls over the past 2 days......only to be placed on hold for what would be more than 30 minutes, if I had waited longer. ON EACH OCCASION. Just as I'm typing this, my hold time is exceeding 18 minutes. Would hate to think how'd you respond if I had an emergency. PLEASE REFUND MY MONEY!!!

I cannot stress enough how poor this company is in terms of product quality, customer service, and billing. The button regularly malfunctions, causing the system to think I pushed the button, even when I am not wearing it. I receive a check-in call; however, if I don't answer, they leave me a message, rather than calling emergency services or my emergency contacts. Their billing is terrible. Every couple of months, I receive phone calls and letters that my account is overdue and in danger of being canceled. It is not. When I try to call billing, the wait time is over an hour. The callback feature does not work. And the automated messages are broken, giving programming code for what it should say, rather than an actual update. I have repeatedly tried emailing them about billing issues, but I have never received a response. Customer support does not exist. It is almost impossible to get an agent on the phone (again, over an hour wait time). When I finally get someone on the phone, they tell me they will look into it or that they have a new billing system (they have been telling me this for 2 years). Today, I am trying to cancel service, but have been on hold for 2 hours. Do not use this company.

Good luck in getting any money back after you no longer need this device. Case 12114902 I have been trying to get my refund from the return of this med alert since September 2025. They have made a very difficult time in our lives more difficult. I returned this device September 29th, 2025, was told to call in 2 weeks to close the account. I called October 24th, 2024 and was told the device had been received and the account would be closed and I would receive my refund within 10 days. I called again November 3rd, 2025 to verify the account had been closed and was told yes it had been closed and the refund was on the way. I called again December 9th, 2025, again about the refund I had not received. And was told the refund would be expedited and I would receive it within 3-5 business days. Ref # 12382630 I spoke to Michelle. I called again December 18th, 2025, as I have not received my refund. And again was told it would be received within 2 business days. In the amount of $343.00. I received a refund on my account January 2nd, 2026, in the amount of around $312.00 and as it was in pending status, it got reversed by Medical alert. I received an e mail telling me the case has been resolved. IT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED! They have stolen my money for this device that has been returned since September 2025! It feels like they are just holding on and charging me the monthly fee, I DO NOT HAVE THIS DEVICE SIINCE SEPTEMBER 2025, NOR DO I NEED IT ANY LONGER, I AM NOT USING THE SERVICE FOR MY MOTHER ANY LONGER!

The app is worthless. Whenever we get a quick flash message that a button has been pushed, we don’t know what happened. The notification makes no sound, and goes away after we see it. The bracelet falls off constantly. Emergency services folks are wonderful but we never know the outcome unless we call their direct number.
