I wear the bracelet all the time in case I fall and it's just very good. I would recommend it above others that I looked into and even had people tell me about them. It's just something you have to have.

I just think it's a good program. We've tested it once a month and they call every now and then to check on me, so I'm quite satisfied. I feel a little more secure and safe when I got the necklace on.

All my experiences with them have been very good. I live alone and nobody would be able to help if I happen to fall, so Medical Alert was the best option. Overall, the device works fine and the service is great.

As far as I know, it's been fine. It's been used accidentally and they were right there! The only thing I don't like is that they call me all the time to sell me a Medical Alert, when I already have one.

I'm pleased with the service they've provided. I was afraid I would fall one of these days without being able to get up, so I purchased the Pendant. Although I've only had it for a couple of months, I haven't had a problem with the service.

My husband and I have a little gray thing that will alert the medical people if we fall. We had trouble with it at first; now we got it down and it's doing fine. The only thing I would say is that it goes off very easy, without even realizing you're setting it off.

They're very helpful, but it really does take some trouble to get through to them. I recently got the fall detector, which is quite heavy and bulky. I'm not as pleased with that one so I've gone back to the bracelet. Somebody is right there when you push the button however, it's quite time consuming when it comes to requesting information.

My wife and I purchased the necklace and we both like the services. They called me to check if the device was working properly, however they hung up pretty quickly and I didn't get a chance to tell them that my Medical Alert wouldn't work if there was to be a power outage. Also, my wife already fell twice and the emergency necklace didn't go off. Besides that, we think it's a good service. I'm just concerned it won't work if we happen to lose power.

It works! I was taking a shower and although, you can wear it in the shower, I hung it on a towel bar within my reach. It wasn't secure on the towel bar and fell to the floor. Immediately the alarm went off and within seconds an operator was on the unit asking if I was needing help. I explained that I was okay and that it fell on the floor accidently and I was okay. I felt foolish, but, relieved that it worked and she heard my voice.

Both of our mothers had Medical Alert and I can say that at their age and with the health issues they had (falling, memory loss, etc.) it was absolute necessary as long as they continued to live alone. My mother had a history of just stumbling and falling over anything. I got her Medical Alert because after my Dad passes there were several hours in the day before I would be able to be there with her since I still worked. Numerous times I would get the message that indeed she had fallen and help was on the way. her neighbor, we had given a house key to and often I would have them call her to go in moms home before I could arrive. My mother in law had falling issues also and once upon falling outside her bathroom, she hit her head on the edge of the dresser. Thank goodness she was able to have Medical Alert on herself and called and they contacted my husband and sent an ambulance. For the amount they payed monthly, it was certainly worth our piece of mind knowing that they both would get the help needed if we were not able to quickly arrive. I highly recommend this company and all that they stand for.

Really works! Two of my family members have it! Just got the device that detects a fall, and it worked! Life Alert initiated the process when a family member passed out. Life Alert contacted me and I immediately went to see what happened. A fall had taken place in the bathroom and Life Alert had the life saving crew on the way, so we got to my family member about the same time. Luckily, no broken bones, etc. but family doctor recommended the patient go to ER to be checked out due to a history of falls. After one week in the hospital and two weeks in rehab, we are back home now. I truly recommend Life Alert!!!!

When my husband passed away in 2010, I had to move from the retirement community we were living in. I moved into an apartment alone. I began having many falls. I tried another system which was bad. I switched to Medial Alert. I still took falls and was afraid to punch my alarm. I have different ones show much interest and have gone out of their way to help me not be afraid. I even would get calls that I hadn't been checking each month. After so much has happened to me and my son has recently passed away, I recently hit my button after a fall in closet. Help was here before I knew it. I couldn't believe how much caring and help they showed. I have nothing but praise for this wonderful company and the special interest they have taken to help a poor frightened old lady who is 80 years old and cannot move without a walker and not for far. I wear it ALL the time now, especially in the shower and through the night as I have to get up several times. My walker stays by my bed.

alert plug fell apart and short circuited my house. Called credit card to make sure no more charges went. Bank notified me that they would look over the matter. Meantime I called Medical Alert and informed them. My electrician came the following morning and verified it was the problem. This happened 3/31/23. Bank refunded me $37.50 and $10.00. Told Bank not to allow any more charges to my account. Medical Alert sent me 2 different bills with different amounts. Charging me for April, May, and June. I was told by Medical Alert because I stopped medical alert payments the matter wouldn't be settled until July 2023. I returned system back to Medical Alert who verified they had got it by 5/1/23. They added some kind of extra coverage to my account that I don't remember hearing about. I'm hard of hearing so therefore I will pay the extra money up to March 2023. They are billing me for April, May, and June. I want this settled before July of 2023. I am just short of 87, hard of hearing and cannot get around very well. I do not want a new Medical Alert system because of the run-a-round I have been getting. Gail Hebblewaite (aka Elizabeth G)

They keep calling wanting more money monthly, stating its for "insurance" if anything happens to it. They sure can't tell you what it would cost if you lost it or it broke. And why should we pay for it if it broke? It is called wear and tear. it is on an elderly person.
