I have received good service every time I called. My mother in law fell about 6 weeks ago. It's my understanding the alert activated the call to 911. I think she may have been confused when she fell. She was also home alone.They did have an issue getting a pendant replaced. It took weeks and required repeated calls by my father in law.

MedicalAlert gives me a great feeling of security as I am elderly, with bad balance and live alone. My family may be reached as soon as possible with a press of the button by me as I always wear it. The Co. personnel are very pleasant and knowledgable.

My father had to use the system twice & I was immediately notified by medical alert. When the system was activated in error the operator was very understanding. I would recommend Medical Alert to people in need of this type of assistance.

Medical Alert has been courteous and patient during system set up, respond quickly to alerts for assistance for the user and communicating the need to phone contacts. They even call when the system requires maintenance. We are extremely pleased with the service provided by Medical Alert.

They have proven to be prompt to reply when my unit is activated. I have had a couple of times when it registered a fall but I had dropped the unit as I was putting it on in the morning, I charge the unit every evening while I am sleepig. I am sure that if they respond to a non emergency call that they will be there if I should need really help,

I feel protected in case of my falling and unable to get up, Both of the pendants' cords keep loosening and not holding the length I want. My wrist band's Velcro wore out and I can no longer wear it. Otherwise I am very happy with the system and am glad to have it. Thanks for letting me give my input. Betty Brown

Sometimes it's hard to get through to a person on the phone. Half the time that person acts like they could care less about your issue. The last time I called the girl said that she was going to replace our unit. Ours wasn't working at all. She said she would send one out. She started to and the call but I asked her when the unit was gonna be sent out she said the next day. I asked when it was going to be received because she was still turned on the call and she said oh that will be next Thursday. I was calling on Friday. I explained to her that there was no way that we could be without a unit for an entire week I explained that I needed the unit overnighted. She did it. It was just frustrating because if I had not stopped if I had not asked questions it would've been an entire week before I received what I needed. I did not feel that she cared and I felt like I was annoying her.

I think Medical Alert's customer service is good. Sometimes it takes a while for them to come online when the alarm goes off, but they're very good with asking questions and making sure you're okay after that. So far, I liked using it. One thing I don't like is that sometimes it goes off when I don't want it to go off. Besides that, I do have to say that the cost went down. I appreciate that.

I purchased Medical Alert for a family member because she kept falling when nobody was around. Their representatives were very good. When she pushes the button for help, somebody's always here. There's no waiting and they send help out if it's needed.

Our system went off one time, and the police and EMT broke into my house because nobody answered. I was in a hotel at that time, and they tracked me down to there. They did a great job tracking me down and calling all the numbers I provided. Plus, they nailed everything back into place, and did a great job with that as well. I'm just very pleased with it, and very happy that I have it. The people who answer the phone are very polite and very knowledgeable. I called for help once while I was away from home, and they still called my husband, just to let him know what had happened.

My daughter had been telling me to get a service like this, but I didn't think we needed it until I fell. I think the service is wonderful; they're very nice people. One day I dropped it, and somebody came on the line right away. It's nice that they're right there when you need them to be.

Before going with Medical Alert, I paid $60 for the same service, so this one is cheaper. Plus, the representatives were very good. I love using it! I fell one time, and they sent the paramedics right away as soon as I pressed the button. In my opinion, anybody that's over 60 years old should have it, just in case they fall and can't get up.
