We like using it very much. I purchased it for a family member, and she's used it a couple of times already; it works very well and very fast. I think that this is for anybody that is taking care of an elder person that can't be there all the time. It's very essential to have something like this.

At first, the device was a little shaky, but it's come a long way. It's really good. I've had a couple problems, but we ironed them out and I'm very happy with Medical Alert. I don't know too many people that have Medical Alert, but I know my experience has been good. Whenever I call, they're there for me, and I don't know what I would do without them.

I have trouble with the necklace because it got tangled on my clothes. It's actually been wonderful. I don't worry about falling anymore because I know somebody would come if I push the button. So far, I haven't had a problem with it.

The features are great and I like the idea behind it, however, I don't like that it's too sensitive. I set it off frequently and it's not very comfortable around my neck, so I don't wear it very much. Besides that, I'm satisfied with the quality of their service; it's also very affordable.

Luckily I haven't had to use it but it works fine. I had a stroke several years ago and my balance is not the best, so this was definitely a good option for me. They treat their customers very good and I've had an excellent experience.

As a senior living alone, it's good to have a service like this. My previous system was sending an alert for each movement, but now I have a new one and I'm very much satisfied with it. It makes me feel good because it gives me the confidence to go out of my house without a problem.

After several falls I decided I really needed this service. They were fantastic and very knowledgeable! One of the representatives didn't know the answer to one of my questions, but put me on hold to find it. It gave me a lot of peace of mind. My wife and I are really happy to have it; it's like my little buddy who keeps me going.

I discontinued service with Medical Alert due to additional charges on my account that was not authorized and addition to a product that didn’t hold a charge. I tried to resolve these issues with the promise of a new device and refund of the unauthorized charges. Neither promise was completed. The device has been returned and I am still awaiting a refund of the annual payment.

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.

My device is way too sensitive. If it drops 2-3 inches, it activates. I've had it activate more than once when I turn over in bed. In my opinion, it should activate only if it drops 1-2 feet.

I do not like calling, now all I can get is AI to talk to unless I can get through on billing, and then if I scream they transfer me to a person. I was on phone yesterday with them from around 10am on and problem not resolved till I called back at 530pm, after waiting for 2.5 hours for them to call me back, I was told I would get a call in 1-2 hours after my conversation, I do not believe I will renew at the end of my term, this is a medical emergency line and it is understaffed, the help you have is wonderful but you do not have enough, I should not have to be on hold to cancel an alarm or to get a service issue fixed. This was my 2nd time with issues since last September, 1st time I waited over a week with no monitor waiting on a new one, no credit was offered and I worried all that time about my husband, I honestly do not feel secure with your service any longer.

The price is high for seniors on a fixed income. Also when we got it and set it up. It said to test so we tested it and instead of the person talking through the box they were calling on the phone. If my grandmother falls she may not have her phone with her thats why we got the medical alert button.
