Thank goodness I haven't had to use it, but I'm happy to have it. I am 95 years old so I think it was about time I bought it. They have done a great job! A good example is the time I fell and passed out; they sent help right away. I'm just very satisfied with the service.

My experience with Medical Alert has been great! I purchased the whole system and I really like it; it works very well. I live alone and suffer some kind of dizziness every once and awhile, so it was time to purchase something like this. Everything has just been very good.

Although I've never had to use it, they've offered a great service. The devices seemed very good as long as I checked in every month. I'm diabetic and ended up in the hospital a couple of years ago, so I needed this. So far, I've had a very positive experience with Medical Alert.

As a nurse, I know you're only one fall away from disaster. I wear a Pendant or a Bracelet and I like it very much, especially because I live alone. Their customer service was very good and I've had an excellent experience with Medical Alert. They do a good job and are very nice to deal with.

The service so far has been fine and their representatives have done a good job. I'm old and kind of disabled so I think it was better to get this in case an emergency were to happen. I don't have any complaints; my experience with them has been just fine.

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.

You received my returned products on 2/26/26. On March 10th, Norleen confirmed that my refund had been processed on 3/2/26. Here I sit on 3/17/26 with no refund posting to my charge account. I have attempted 4 separate calls over the past 2 days......only to be placed on hold for what would be more than 30 minutes, if I had waited longer. ON EACH OCCASION. Just as I'm typing this, my hold time is exceeding 18 minutes. Would hate to think how'd you respond if I had an emergency. PLEASE REFUND MY MONEY!!!

Horrible customer service! Received multiple email, phone and home mail notifications that my account was over due when in fact it had been paid in December of 2025. After confirming with 4 separate customer service representatives that the account is paid in full, waiting several times on hold with billing (no less than 30 minutes each time before being allowed a callback request) and 3 emails to customer service, I am still getting calls and notifications. Billing does not return callback requests and I have yet to receive an email confirmation that the issue has been resolved. So frustrating and such a waste of time. We had used Medical Alert for one year prior and wanted to renew. Will not renew again and if this issue isn’t confirmed, I will be canceling.

I had my dad with this service for about 4 too many years. When he started becoming forgetful I order basically the pendant and bracelet and home monitor station. I initially paid for the GPS tracking so when he was out and about I could keep up with where he was. The GPS tracking almost never worked. It always showed him at home. I thought well maybe he's not wearing it - but I took it for several rides and it never tracked. biggest waste of money. What was worse is that when I called to cancel the tracking - the yearly price actually went up for just push button emergencies and fall detection over what I paid for GPS tracking. Before dad passed in December - he had 8 falls over a 2 month period of time and the fall detection only worked twice. It did not work on his last fall either that put him in the hospital prior to his death. These people are nice on the phone and act like they want to help you but good luck getting them on the phone, updating or changing service, and it took almost 2 months to get an account credit. Why didn't I stop it earlier? We did not realize until dad starting falling so much that the fall detection was not as we thought. If you are having any of these issues - please use them as warning signs. Always confirm the product is working as advertised.

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.

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.
