I usually put it on when my husband plays golf and I'm here alone. I'm a disabled person and a medical alert is good for me. This is a really good idea for people when they get older and have a tendency to slip. I like the wristband better than the pendant. The pendant gets in the way but you don't even know you have the wristband on. When I had a problem with the monitor, they easily sent me a new one. I like the security of having this.

They respond even when I push the button by accident, they responded right away, it has just been great. The people I have talked to on the phone are very pleasant, helpful and understand what I'm talking about. They did a good job explaining my GPS and how it works. I feel very secure and that's my main goal. With this device I have access to the police, medical and the fire department. so I'm very pleased with it.

It is well worth the investment. I have had it for a couple of years and I'm happy with it. I wear it during the day after I get up and when I go out at night, I always carry a medical alert with me in case anything ever happens, I have somebody with me all the time. It's like having a constant companion. When I accidentally pushed the button one time they called me right up to talk to me. The company and service is excellent.

I have had a hip surgery and I was carrying something up the ramp and started falling. So, I had to push the button when I fell, and they were able to come get me up. They were there when I needed them, it's convenient to wear and works well. Their customer service is very good when I have to deal with them and they've been very good about following up with me.

I saw the ad in the magazine about Medical Alert, so I got their device. I haven't had to use the device yet, but my puppy is prone to hitting it while it's on my lap, and it will accidentally set the alarm off. Then, they call me two or three times until they finally got the message that I was okay. I appreciate that when they call, they're interested in my welfare.

Price was the biggest factor for me when I decided to go with Medical Alert. My father took ill a few days ago, and was feeling chest pains. Their customer support was very responsive, and the paramedics were there as soon as they could. They have been extremely good at solving problems. I've only had one issue with them - billing. I wasn't too pleased that it took them four months to credit our account. Other than their billing department not being too effective, the medical alert unit is wonderful.

I live alone, and this medical device fob gives my daughter peace of mind knowing that at least somebody would know if something happened to me. I've never had an emergency to use it, but I wear it regularly in case there are mishaps. One time by mistake, I touched it and the operator called immediately. They realized that I was okay, but she waited until she was convinced that I was fine. I think people should have this device because it's like insurance. You should be prepared for a dire situation.

I like the device because I can move around and still be covered in the case of an emergency. I can always reach them when I have a problem with a situation. It's comforting to talk to someone on the phone when you're in trouble. I like that the device isn't too big or too small - it's just the right size and very handy. This is a very good and convenient service, and I plan to keep it.

Medical Alert has the best price and the best features. I try to wear their device all the time, although I don't wear it around my neck. I have pushed it a couple of times while it's been in my pocket. In the few times I've actually used it, my friends have been able to come over and check me out to make sure I'm okay. Medical Alert's customer support keeps track of me, and if I don't call them once a month, they call to remind me to check the button and have it tested. I think the device can be a bit cumbersome at times. I don't wear it around my neck because the teeth from the back of it have come off. I also have used the clip that goes around my belt area or on a purse.

There's always been someone willing to help me in Medical Alert's customer service department. They've given me answers I've needed and have been really good about it. I've never had to use it because I haven't fallen since I've gotten it. I feel very good about having it incase I do fall or go outside. I like to do things in my yard a little bit, and I feel more comfortable and safer with it.

I was attacked in October by two pit bulls, and the medical alert device literally saved my life. I was able to get in contact with the people who could help me, and the police and first responders got here just in time to help me. I've never had any problems getting it to work, and everything it going right. I can take it with me wherever I go, and I'm not confined to the house with it. It makes me feel very comfortable wherever I go.

I live alone and it's a dangerous situation, especially in the winter. I have two devices. One for when I'm in the shower, and one that is a pendant that I can wear around my wrist. I wear the bracelet all day. It's a pretty good support system, and it's a device that when you fall, it automatically calls for assistance. I think it's a great system, and I don't think they're going to sell me some product that's not worth the extra money.

The main reason I got it was because of my daughter. She works all day and I didn't want to be alone while she was out, so I thought about getting a medical alert. I've had it for about a year now and I haven't had to use it, but there have been instances where I accidentally punched the button and they called me right away. They make sure that I am ok and that's that. I wear it every day and if I go out I take the other part of the machine with me in case I fall. I feel like I'm always protected, I wouldn't hesitate to use it if I need it. I think it's very good.

We heard about it and looked it up online. Since we were interested in it, we got it for the person that wears it. She hasn't had to use it yet but I think she feels very secure wearing the wristband. It is nice that they give you the option to wear the device on your neck or on your wrist. They have been available any time she has called in with questions, when she needs support, and when she checks her device every month.

I think this is good for people who are alone. I've fallen quite a bit and broken my eyes glasses and some things like that before. I think all the people who live by themselves, especially elderly people, should have something like this just in case something happens and they're not able to get to anybody. I haven't had to use it yet and I think it is expensive.

They were the first company that approached me, that's how I ended up with it. I wear it all day long, especially when I'm alone. I have one alert device that goes on my belt or that I can have as a wristband. I also have the necklace one and I like it since it doesn't weigh much and it's comfortable. I've never had a problem reaching out to them or when they reach out to me.

I shopped around different places and got the prices for different services. In the end I chose them because they were willing to work with me on my budget. The price is still kind of high for me but it's ok. On any day I put it in its pouch and have it in my pocket. I can take it anywhere I go so I don't have to worry if anything happens. Regular customer support is good, but I've been having problems with billing. They keep calling me to tell me something was paid or something else wasn't. It also makes me really upset when they pull it out of my account directly, and I've got record of them doing that.

I received some material from them that had information about the service so I decided to give it a try. Fortunately, I haven't had to use it but I wear it every day. I also test it monthly and it works just fine. At the moment I'm having some billing problems. My income is very limited so it's very expensive for me. I still have it because I need it.

My mother had it before. When I got older, I decided to call them and get it too. I haven't had to use it for medical reasons at all, I just wear my watch. I don't like the one that detects falls. I can't hold my dog, bend over, or do anything without it going off. I get tired of it. They're too slow to respond too. At this point I don't know what I'm paying for.

I didn't do that much shopping around but I picked it because they had a GPS bit that was portable. Other companies just had one of those stands that only work when you're within 600ft of it. With Medical Guardian I could put the thing in my purse wherever I went. I try my best to remember to take the device with me when I go out. It'd be awful to get into an accident while I'm away from home without it. I haven't had to use it for that yet, but I know it works well.

We got it because my mother's physician ordered it for her. She has dementia so we've had to go back and forth with her doctor to make sure that it's working well for her. Sometimes she uses it, sometimes she doesn't, and sometimes she even boxes it back up. Every time I contact them they make sure that the device is working properly. They're usually also very kind and courteous.

I shopped around for quite a bit before settling on them. Their price looked right and I had heard good things about it from other people so I went for it. We haven't had to use it yet but we have pressed the button by accident a couple of times and they have been very responsive. When that happens we just tell them there's no reason for them to send someone out and that's it. It's very easy to use. Whenever I've called, they answer my questions. I've had to turn the service off and later I turned it back on but they gave me no trouble about it. They're just easy to work with.

I don't use it all that much. Customer service is very good, they answer when I push the button. I couldn't ask for anything more than that. Sometimes my dog manages to push it so I have to explain to them that my dog was the one that did it and not me. The necklace is a little uncomfortable, but I can't wear the one on my wrist either, so I'm just managing with that one.

I live in a retirement home and since I got it I've used it twice. The first time I slipped and fell in my living room. I pressed the button and since I was close enough to the other part I was able to tell them that I had fallen and that I couldn't get up. Pretty soon they came out and picked me up. The second time was kind of similar. I fell and I couldn't reach out to the retirement home's emergency people so I pressed the button and they showed up along with the nurses. On both occasions everything just went well, the thing worked.

I've had it for about 2 or 3 years. They were the first ones I called after I saw an ad or something. Just for fun I called another company to check and they were twice as high in price. I put it on first thing in the morning take it off last when I'm going to bed at night. When I use it, they call me right away. I just got the new device that they have that will automatically call them if you fall. It works very well for me.

I've never really had to use it but I wear it every day. Sometimes the emergency people will come on even though I never touched the button. Usually it's because I put my pendant down too hard or something. When that happens the red light comes on, a voice starts talking, and if I don't cancel the alarm fast enough, someone will come on the line and ask me if I'm ok. It's a bit expensive but I don't mind paying that much for my own safety.

I had seen their advertisements and liked what they said you know. They could respond right away and send medical help, so I just decided to go with Medical Alert. I really haven't had to use it but I wear the necklace every day. The button itself is easy to use. You don't really need to learn how to operate it, you just push the button. Sometimes when I'm working in my home I'll hit it against something and they always respond. I think they're very reliable and their staff is very courteous. It's probably one of the best companies out there for medical assistance.

We got set with a different one and paid for that one. In the end we went back and after having it for a bit we decided to try a different one. A few years ago I broke my ankle so I pushed the button. My daughter, who lives a few doors down, was very surprised that they were here within just a couple of minutes. It's a pretty fast service. There have also been accidental calls because the thing went off on its own. Still, I'm satisfied with it. It's better than the one we had before.

Since I'm a widow and I live alone, I wanted to have something that would alert somebody in case I fell or needed help. I called LifeAlert and then Medical Alert and I just figured they were the best of the two. I've never used it, but I bought it as insurance in case I fell and couldn't get up. I do not like the wristband. As soon as I started using it I got wrist pain. It would come off when I was sleeping and it was made with such cheap materials that it just fell apart. I'm wearing the necklace now because of that.

My father read about it on the paper and we just decided to try it. I have it on my cupboard and it's there if I need it. I don't like the button they gave me that can detect falls automatically. It's so sensitive that even if I swing the thing a little it goes off. I stopped wearing it and as far as I'm concerned it's a waste of money. Still, I do like the service. One time I fell and couldn't get up myself, so I pushed the button. They called us back promptly and got the ambulance for me. The police were actually the first ones to get there but they got the ambulance too. I know that there's a few similar devices that are a little less expensive.

It was the only service that I looked at, I just got it. I wear it all day and night, though I was told I shouldn't wear it at night time.

The one that I have was actually upgrades to a smaller thing now. I haven't really had to push the button for an emergency yet, but customer support seems to be ok.

I've had it for many years because I live alone and I'm handicapped. I recently got upgraded to the one that you can just carry with you instead of using the machine. I can still drive, and I have a walker and a wheelchair, so I can wear it around my neck all the time. I guess the only downside is that I can't sleep with it, but I keep it next to my bed when I sleep. The only thing is that I haven't done the whole booting up process yet, which caused a problem when I fell a couple of days ago. The thing wasn't working and the base wasn't receiving a call. I was still able to get the doorknob and get my dog to get to my phone and call 911. The EMT were able to get to me and help me up. Customer service has been very friendly and nice about everything though.

I've used it a couple of times, once for my husband and twice for myself. On one of those occasions, I fell and pressed the buzzer. Since I was too far away, I couldn't get to the speakers, but they sent people anyways. They knocked on the door and were very prompt. The people that came were very polite, helped me up, and dusted me off. The res ponders, usually from the fire department, are also very nice and helpful. Even when my cat accidentally hits the buzzer, I jut call them to let them know that it was a mistake and they are very nice and patient about the situation.

I wanted to continue living on my own, I like my independence and so I got Medical Alert. On a typical day, I get up and put it on. I bring it into the bathroom with me, shower, get dressed and I put it on. I take it off when I go to bed and that's that. I've set it off accidentally several times, it is hard not to make it go off. In fact, since I have it set so that it detects falls automatically I've set it off sometimes like that. We did have a problem once while ordering, but my daughter got on the phone with them and the Medical Alert people were very nice about it and fixed the problem. It makes me feel a little safe. It's as if a friend or somebody was always with me to give me the protection that I need.

When my dad was out into his trailer he had bumped the device and did not realize it. They called me and called SWAT to make sure he was ok 'because nobody was responding. They were very quick in responding. Other than that I don't think we've had to use it. I've always had really good information from them and they've helped me set up the Medical Alert system. They're always very pleasant and patient. I'm really happy with them.

I've only needed it once when I had an anxiety attack. I wasn't sure if it was that or a heart attack so I called them. They were very thorough, double checked with me to make sure that I was ok. They called me back, left a voicemail in fact because my phone was off, and told me they had sent someone to check on me. They were there in a very short time and took very good care of me. It all took 5, maybe 10 minutes. Other than that, I've accidentally set it off several times but they've been very good sports about that.

I have no problem with it. I just carry it anywhere, tho I haven't had to use it. I've hit it accidentally a couple of times and gotten a good response from them. One time I accidentally set it off and it took a long time before they responded. When I first ordered it they sent me one unit that didn't work, but they got me a new one as quickly as possible. They're fine and they listen to us.

I feel comfortable having the necklace device. As soon as anything goes wrong, I just push the button and my family knows right away. My husband also needed it. He was on the last stages of cancer and would fall quite often. I wasn't able to help him up, so I would just use Medical Alert and they would come right away. They just take my information and have been very helpful. I'm glad I have it now.
