If you ask me how they treat their customers, I would say very good. I just love it because they responded right away, even when I would accidentally set it off. Whenever something like that happens, they let my children know right away. It's just very effective.

It's a good thing for me to have, I'm older and I need to have that in case something happens to me. Everything has been very very good with them. All I can say is that I'm satisfied with it; I just feel safe about having it in my house.

It was getting a little hard to move around at my age so I decided to get Medical Alert. I've used it a number of times and I'm very pleased with it! Their customer service is fantastic and all I can say is I've had a very pleasant experience with them.

Terrible company. No customer service. We waited over 2 months to get a refund. My sister literally took the day off work multiple times to wait hours on hold to talk with someone. This company makes their money by charging a year at a time with no way to get money back in a convenient or transparent manner.

Terrible service! I have been trying to cancel my mom's account for over a month after she moved to assisted living and they have not allowed me to do so. After being on hold for hours, I am told I need to come back despite receiving continued billing. The service was find when I needed it but canceling it has been a total scam!

I discontinued service with Medical Alert due to additional charges on my account that was not authorized and addition to a product that didn’t hold a charge. I tried to resolve these issues with the promise of a new device and refund of the unauthorized charges. Neither promise was completed. The device has been returned and I am still awaiting a refund of the annual payment.

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.

Deb

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.

The price is high for seniors on a fixed income. Also when we got it and set it up. It said to test so we tested it and instead of the person talking through the box they were calling on the phone. If my grandmother falls she may not have her phone with her thats why we got the medical alert button.

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.

Many times the person answering the call cannot hear or understand me even if I talk loud and clear. When I have a false alarm and I say cancel alert I still get connected to a rep. And this Is annoying. Also the automatic fall detection button is too sensitive - goes off at the slightest tap. I’m very short and I can’t keep it high enough on my chest so when I bend over for anything it often goes off at the slightest touch. I’m considering cancelling it.

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.
