My daughter told me to get a medial alert device after I fell and broke my hip and we picked this one. They are really good about answering questions or helping with anything I need.

I passed out once and when I woke up, paramedics were in my house ready to help me. It has never failed me. They are very professional and thorough on the phone and I would recommend them 100 times over.

Although I have not had mine for very long, I feel confident about going out of town. The doctor suggested that I should not leave the city, but with the medical alert I can travel in Canada.

I would recommend Medical Alert; I think they're good and there for you in an emergency. When I test they call right back and they seem very efficient, I have never had to use it in an emergency but I test is every once in a while. Any time I ask a question, they seem to have the answers for me.

They are either too sensitive or not sensitive enough, especially the fall detector. I have had several false alarms when nobody pressed the button and the first responders came to my door because we couldn't get to the phone because it was my old phone number. I called on Saturday and the office was closed and I couldn't reach any nobody and that disturbs me. There is a lot of room for improvement.

Hi Coral,

We do have a wrist version that might work better for you than your pendant. If you are interested, please reach out to our customer service team to ask about it.

We had a problem before we got a new one because my husband would cross his arms and the device would go off and we had rescue people at the door and we didn't know what happened but we got a new one and the pendant around his neck so that hasn't happened again. They showed up at the door when it was a mistake so it works and that's what we want.

I accidentally pressed the button and in no time I had the emergency crew very quickly. When the agent came on it was a very quick response even though it wasn't actually an emergency. I was very happy with the quick response in both cases. Every time I've called in to check the system, I had no problem. I've gotten very good answers back.

They have been helpful but it has been somewhat confusing and takes more time than I would expect to set it up and to troubleshoot it. I'm not sure how to change the battery on the component that the person wears. I'm alerted when the battery's dead so it seems like they're monitoring that so that part works.

It's gone off buy itself sometimes, but other times when we've had to use it they've sent ambulances and alerted the family members. If they don't get a hold of her, they contact other family members to make sure she's ok.

My husband fell out of bed and was barely able to move, but he pushed the button and they magically appeared. I'm paying for this to be hooked up, but it's not hooked up yet, so I don't exactly know what to do. They give you a number to call but it doesn't work, I've tried it a number of times.

I am away from the home just about everyday of the week, I take it with me all the time, occasionally I forget. It's a good device for a senior citizen living alone. I'm not too found of the idea that you have to take this battery pack with you when you want to ever go outside or away from the home. I am always away from the home, so frequently that I have to remember to take it with me all the time and I have forgotten that on occasions. So I'm not thrilled about that

The necklace medical alert system that goes around your neck is very sensitive. It's gone off a couple of times because it goes off easily. If there's a little bump or something, it goes off.

Aside from testing, I haven't had to use the device. One thing I didn't like is that they were insisting I get a new device, even though my old one works and tests well when I use it. They insisted on sending me one and making me pay 89 dollars. I asked why I would buy a new one when my old one works, but they sent it anyways without my consent.

I saw them advertised somewhere, I forget where, but I decided to give them a call. One of the main reasons I decided to get it was that I walk my dog at night, so I wanted something for my own safety. We've had some trouble getting the billing all straightened out, but everybody has been really nice and really polite. It is expensive though.
