I live by myself and have Rheumatoid Arthritis so Medical Alert was definitely something I needed. Everything has been fine so far, I haven't had a problem with the service nor with the devices. When I set the bracelet off they called immediately, so I have no complaints.

My daughter-in-law heard about it while I was in the hospital, and although I haven't had to use it, they did send the police when I set off the alarm by accident. I don't have any complaints regarding their service, everything has been okay.

I just figured that I needed some kind of help if something happens to me and no one was around. I really haven't had to be in touch with them, but just knowing that I have it is very reassuring to me. They've been very helpful and I know that if I ever need them, I'll be taken care of.

Medical Alert was the perfect fit for me because I live alone and I thought it would be beneficial for me. I've set off the alarm by accident and their representatives have been very understanding. My kids are definitely happy that I have it.

I picked Medical Alert because you can take it with anywhere you go, although, to be perfectly honest, I haven't had to use it yet. I do have to say that it's always nice to have it there as an insurance. It makes me feel safe.

I like that they changed the first necklace I purchased for a smaller and lighter one. They really help a lot because; if you push the button they come right on and they also know who you are. Everybody I spoke with was good as well.

My husband's not here very often and I was falling down a lot, so I needed something to be safe. The device is comfortable and not hard at all to use. I really haven't had a bad experience with any of their representatives; everything has been just fine.

If you ask me how they treat their customers, I would say very good. I just love it because they responded right away, even when I would accidentally set it off. Whenever something like that happens, they let my children know right away. It's just very effective.

It is available when I need it. At first the device didn't respond if I fell. Since I now pay $10 more a month it is super sensitive and I need to cancel the call several times a day.

I like that I can wear my pendant and be anywhere and help can come to my aid and I don't have to just be at home all the time I like that help will be notified either by myself or by someone with me and that also either myself or someone with me can speak to the people at Medical alert and get advice on what to do until help arrives

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.

I LIKE THE WAY MEDICAL ALERT RESPONDS TO MY QUESTIONS. THEY WERE SLOW ACKNOWLEDGING RECEIPT OF RETURNED ITEM ON MY ACCOUNT RESULTING IN MY RECEIVING TWO CALLS ASKING ME TO TEST MY EQUIPMENT AND ONE CALL REQUESTING A PAYMENT I DID NOT OWE. THE CALLS WERE AN INCONVENIENCE/ HOWEVER, ONCE I EXPLAINED THINGS THE ISSUES WERE PLEASANTLY RESOLVED.

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.

I assume your system is automatic as when I called to notify you that I was without electricity to charge my system and not to call my children, they were called and I was reminded during the night to charge my unit. This is very disturbing and I sincerely hope you are able to find a fix for that problem.

I talked to someone from your office to tell you it took me a long time to get the red light to say your device is charging. Sometimes I count each time I try to get it to charge, and I have counted thirteen times before the red light would come on. Maybe that was because I was a few days from charging it every month on the first day. But lately it is doing fine. And I know you keep a good check on it because you could tell me the time I put it on and the time I took it off. So, I know you are checking it and I appreciate that. So, thanks for doing a good job for me.

I know very little of other similar systems, but I find this one short on features. You cannot speak through the pendant, which causes me to hobble painfully through the house on a false alarm. They do, however, call before they dispatch emergency services, and I try to keep my cell phone on me or nearby at all times..
