Terrible company. No customer service. We waited over 2 months to get a refund. My sister literally took the day off work multiple times to wait hours on hold to talk with someone. This company makes their money by charging a year at a time with no way to get money back in a convenient or transparent manner.

Terrible service! I have been trying to cancel my mom's account for over a month after she moved to assisted living and they have not allowed me to do so. After being on hold for hours, I am told I need to come back despite receiving continued billing. The service was find when I needed it but canceling it has been a total scam!

Michele Polsgrove

Terrible customer service. My mom passed away and they are being very difficult to deal with in getting the account cancelled. They tell you what to do via automated message, then they say they need more. Sent that, and then no response at all. They deal with elderly clients, so this process should not be so hard. I have gotten nothing but the run around, and when you call you get transferred around and/or told there is an hour hold time. Do not use this company if you care about customer service.

The medical alert is primarily for my 98 year old dad who still lives alone. He handles it well and I feel better knowing he can just push the button.

Mina Denver, CO

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.

I prefer to wear a bracelet rather than a necklace. I've had two bracelets and didn't like either of them. I would prefer one with a clasp, like a watch. Right now, I'm not wearing anything as I can't find my bracelet.

I talked to a rep when my price was raised and asked to be billed every month , and that has not happened. I assume I will get billed when my next billing cycle comes up. Am not happy because that is too much at one time.

Very disappointed with the service we have received. I have requested repeatedly that communication only come to me and not my mother and you continue to contact her. Also, we have had difficulty returning an item that doesn't work. No one is capable of sending me a return label for the item so I can send it back. Simple request, but no capable employees!
