I had my dad with this service for about 4 too many years. When he started becoming forgetful I order basically the pendant and bracelet and home monitor station. I initially paid for the GPS tracking so when he was out and about I could keep up with where he was. The GPS tracking almost never worked. It always showed him at home. I thought well maybe he's not wearing it - but I took it for several rides and it never tracked. biggest waste of money. What was worse is that when I called to cancel the tracking - the yearly price actually went up for just push button emergencies and fall detection over what I paid for GPS tracking. Before dad passed in December - he had 8 falls over a 2 month period of time and the fall detection only worked twice. It did not work on his last fall either that put him in the hospital prior to his death. These people are nice on the phone and act like they want to help you but good luck getting them on the phone, updating or changing service, and it took almost 2 months to get an account credit. Why didn't I stop it earlier? We did not realize until dad starting falling so much that the fall detection was not as we thought. If you are having any of these issues - please use them as warning signs. Always confirm the product is working as advertised.

5 years ago, I felt the company was more people and service friendly. Today , I receive 2 calls per week reminding me to test system, or call back for account information. When I call back, no one seems to know why they called. SO many unnecessary calls. Too many different departments and no one takes the lead for a customer.

I have previously called about an issue where the alert button says "battery charged" at the most awkward an inappropriate times (i.e. during church, funerals, meetings, etc. ) Because I can't trust it, I have to remove it from my person and place in my purse where it's likely to be muffled and less obvious to be heard in quiet settings.

Many times the person answering the call cannot hear or understand me even if I talk loud and clear. When I have a false alarm and I say cancel alert I still get connected to a rep. And this Is annoying. Also the automatic fall detection button is too sensitive - goes off at the slightest tap. I’m very short and I can’t keep it high enough on my chest so when I bend over for anything it often goes off at the slightest touch. I’m considering cancelling it.

Excellent and near immediate response to emergency signals, very helpful staff at their call center. The only complaint is the hair - trigger sensitivity is the pendant 's Red button. It can trigger an alarm just by swinging against your body while ,(clumsily) getting into the shower, or standing up quickly.
