Michele Polsgrove

Terrible customer service. My mom passed away and they are being very difficult to deal with in getting the account cancelled. They tell you what to do via automated message, then they say they need more. Sent that, and then no response at all. They deal with elderly clients, so this process should not be so hard. I have gotten nothing but the run around, and when you call you get transferred around and/or told there is an hour hold time. Do not use this company if you care about customer service.

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.

PROMPT RESPONSE BUT CONFUSING AND HARD TO UNDERSTAND. THE RESPONDERS SPOKE TOO FAST AND DID NOT ENUNCIATE CLEARLY SO IT WAS DIFFICUT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WERE SAYING. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING AT ALL IN REGARD TO WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO. THEY SEEMED TO BE IN A HURRY TO MOVE ON TO THEIR LOAD OF WAITING CALLS.

I feel as if their medical alert took advantage of me, they charged me $34.95 for over 5 years while everybody else was getting a much lower rate The fear mongering CONTINUOUS calls of' you could fall you should get the fall alert necklace or bracelet it'll cost more month but I can walk in your price and that way we can never jack up the price on you blah blah blah the price will go up eventually this would lock it in blah blah blah I quit using the service You got to representative seek me out bargaining Finally got down to a right around $20 a month And now this month I was charged $30 from my bank account UNTRUSTWORTHY

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.

My mom started falling for whatever reason. I live in another State but by Gods grace my sibling are close. Last year I wanted peace of mind and I found it with Medic Alert if my mom would do her part. But we are not there yet 100%. But the product is priceless

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.
