Satisfied multiple needs. The monitoring station was placed where my son can hear the alarm from his bedroom. I can trigger the alarm from my bedroom to summon him. He can turn off the alarm quick enough that Med Alert does not need to respond, while coming to render me assistance.

They have called in paramedics to help me get up when I fall or when I am sick. The equipment is really good. The call button has a case to use. It can go in a purse or on a belt. Also, like the bracelet option instead of the necklace. When I wear the necklace, I set it off accidentally. Staff have always been friendly and helpful.

My Dad will be 92 this year. He has accidentally pressed the "Button" a few times, and they always alert me right away. An ambulance has showed up at his home a couple of times be for the cancelled call is made. That tells me they are on the ball. I live about 50min from Dad and feel comfortable that he is in the hands of Medical Alert.

They respond quickly when the alert goes out. I would offer different color or designs for the alert bracelet. I only use my fall detector occasionally because there were many false alerts. Nobody asked me about the lockbox when I spoke to the sales person. Too many addon charges.

They've called me a couple of times because they seem to get some sort of alert from my device around my neck. They called me at times when they seemed to think that something was going wrong. They've always been good. They did call me once when I hadn't been doing the monthly check just to make sure everything was okay with the whole device.

Whenever I make a mistake and push it, they always ask me if I am okay or if anyone around me needs any assistance. I check it every month to make it is working and it works every month. When you call customer support, they satisfy you promptly, they don't mess around because they care about being efficient.

They respond to my calls real fast and get the fire department here. It doesn't take much to push the button and I like the way it works. I feel a lot safer now because before I was on the floor for three hours yelling for help and not all I do is push the button. It is a good device.

The cord that goes around the neck with the pendant on it is absorbent it constantly bothers me and makes me itch I might be a little allergic to it but maybe it's because of just absorbency all the oil's and everything in your skin and it's I don't know what to do with it and the other thing is there are so many medical alert places out there on the market now. I have called some of those places thinking it was the one I am hooked up with and they are somebody else going under that same name Great Call is one of them . I also think it would be nice if you could somehow get the pendant well a bracelet to go to way so I could talk to it and not have to carry that other big thing around in my purse. Not that it's so big but it's just another big bulky thing in my purse. And so many times I walk out of the house and forget to go back and get it. Sometimes it takes a long time for them to answer the phone maybe they're busy I don't know what the deal is on your end but it will ring and ring and I'm thinking if I am just sitting here and really having some bad problems waiting for them to answer I could lose probably several minutes waiting. I think you could have nicer bracelets that would look better on a person instead of them looking at it and say oh you've got to wear one of those bracelets . End of story hey story continues. Another thing I don't like is is the automated all the time why can't we just still waiting on the line why can't we just have a real person answer and we can be right with him and set of having to wait again and again and wonder am I going to the right place. Too much automated stuff need to talk to real person. The end.

When I first got it, I wore it around my neck and after less than a week it broke and the button was lost so I had to do reorder and purchase a maintenance program in case it broke again. I was not happy about that but I have been wearing it on my wrist now and it is a little uncomfortable and gets in the way of writing and typing and things like that. I have accidentally pushed the button a few times and they have responded and taken care of it. They respond right away and keep responding until I answer and I think it is very good and attentive.

It was a gift from my son because I have been to the hospital several times and it has certainly helped me when I really needed them. One of the best things about it is they're here in five minutes. They respond quickly and effectively. With no one else to call it is very important they got here in a timely fashion.

I've had it for a few years and I haven't had to use it for a fall but I like the fact that I know that I have it available working for me, it gives me peace of mind. It is easy to use. I am unhappy that the new device in one I shouldn't be sleeping in and the wristband is difficult to put on. The hole is too short and have an extremely difficult time clasping it. I am very unhappy with the wrist device now but until just recently I was feeling very positive. Also I have started paying more and since I don't like the wristband I was unhappy about that too.

I used it two weeks ago. The doctor ordered me to get to the hospital so I used my medical alert to call an ambulance and it worked beautifully. They respond instantly when the buzzer goes off. I use the bracelet rather than the one around my neck because it's too long for me. It's very loud.

I needed some type of system that could help me in case of fall or injury because I live alone. They have been able to answer all my questions that I've had and to assist me to any way that I needed. When I went out of town recently, I didn't know if I should take the entire equipment with me not, but I took it with me and during the process, I lost it. Customer Service was so good and they were able to tell me exactly where it was. I hadn't lost it, but left it in my car. With the info that they have they can get your family aware of what's going on with you.
