My Medical Alert gives me a feeling of safety each day as I wear it. I also take it with me when I need to go to the bathroom at night. It is my life guard.

The app is worthless. Whenever we get a quick flash message that a button has been pushed, we don’t know what happened. The notification makes no sound, and goes away after we see it. The bracelet falls off constantly. Emergency services folks are wonderful but we never know the outcome unless we call their direct number.

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

The operator calls right away if my moms medical alert contacts them, the operator wants to know if everything is okay with my mom and if they should call 911. Operators are very friendly.

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.

I talked to someone from your office to tell you it took me a long time to get the red light to say your device is charging. Sometimes I count each time I try to get it to charge, and I have counted thirteen times before the red light would come on. Maybe that was because I was a few days from charging it every month on the first day. But lately it is doing fine. And I know you keep a good check on it because you could tell me the time I put it on and the time I took it off. So, I know you are checking it and I appreciate that. So, thanks for doing a good job for me.

I know very little of other similar systems, but I find this one short on features. You cannot speak through the pendant, which causes me to hobble painfully through the house on a false alarm. They do, however, call before they dispatch emergency services, and I try to keep my cell phone on me or nearby at all times..

I called with a question because I had gotten a letter saying that I had purchased a protection plan WHICH I DID NOT DO!!!!! The man I spoke with was totally rude, and wouldn't accept the fact that I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS PROTECTION PLAN. He insisted that I had and told me 3or 4 times that I had talked to someone for 7 or 8 minues and some seconds - I did not, but he kept insisting that I had! MOST ANNOYING!!!!!! RUDE MAN!!!!!

They advertised the fall detections pendant and it is a joke. To test it you throw it in the air and it lands on the carpet and does not go off. The place I spend most of my time is in my carpeted house or maybe outside on the grass so the alalarm would not work there. The only place that it would work is if I were to fall on concrete or a very hard surface. If I were in that type of situation then there would probably be someone to help me like in a store. I cancelled the detection pendant after about a year as I considered it as being worthless.

Poor customer service. Receive calls to update my service, I say no and feel pressured to accept offer. When I call to end service, I am told the person I am being transferred to will instruct me on how to remove battery to prevent the device activating while in transport back to you and I get no such instructions. This happened both times I returned devices. I call to replace a pendant and told it will arrive in 3 to 5 business days and two weeks later I call back to follow up on why it has not arrived and after speaking with the correct department the pendant arrives shortly after thereafter. I am told refunds take up to 30 days and 30 days later I am calling back to check on the status of my refund and having to wait another 30 days to receive the refund. Also, when I make a follow up call the person who answers my call tells me they don't see notes in my account regarding the previous call and have to speak with their supervisor to be told what to do enable to help me. No one seems to be on the same page there. Your customer representitives are caught off guard when I tell them about the notes I took from my last conversation with a person there or when I tell them according to FedEx you did receive the devise returned to you and the location, date and time it was received at your facility. I am currently still waiting for my refund that should have been received March 10, 2021.

Although we have not had an emergency we've had false alarms mistakenly set off and that in itself gives me confidence that my husband who had Alzheimers is in good hands with MedAlert.. They always have responded within a very short time, faster than I can pick up my phone and dial in. That's pretty quick!!!

Wearing the bracelet is conveniant, however, the new Fall alert device is bulky plus you've told me not to wear it to bed. The most likely time for me to fall would be getting out of the bed in the middle of the night when I'm still half asleep.

I have dropped it and it did now sound the alarm that I had fallen, several times. Also, I pushed it twice for 911; it just rang and rang--they never answered. A person was having a heart attack, and I could have got an earlier response. The battery does NOT last 4 days, as I was told--about 2 days. I called in a few times to report issues and was not offered an exchg and it is a brand new device--at least the first time I called.

Sometimes the device calls for help for no apparent reason. This happened twice for me. Sometimes the device does not work when I test it for a fall. It doesn't seem to work on carpets and my home has wall to wall carpeting. Yet it called when it accidentally dropped from my hand about three inches on to my bed.
