My dad needed to use this only a week or so after we had set it up. The operator answered as expected and stayed on the line with my dad until paramedics arrived.

I haven't needed to use it yet, so I am just rating the purchase and activation process. Very smooth! I already referred a friend who has hers installed already.

My dad has been using Medical Guardian for a few months now. One time when I was with him and we tested the button, it took over 3 minutes for someone to answer. That seems a bit long to me.

Reply from Medical Guardian

Sandy, thank you for the review. Generally speaking, your father should expect one of our emergency operators to get on the line in under a minute. If that is not the case, we would like to take a look at his account. So we can better research your particular situation, would you be willing to help us locate your father's account? Any information shared in your response will not be posted publicly. If you could provide us with his full name, address and phone number, we will be in touch. Thanks again for reaching out!

We have not had to use, but my mother is willing to use the watch and carry the transmitter when she goes out! This is all a plus! Set up was easy and representative was very helpful

It took a little while for customer service to respond when I needed them. I think it would be better to have the ability to speak to each device instead of carrying an extra one just to speak to people.

I have no idea how to rate MG. I have it, I feel more secure and that's it. I have not had to use it and for that I am grateful. My only issue is that it is inconvenient to have to carry the device everywhere, but without it, the whole thing is useless. .

The only reason I ratedthem a 4 is that, when I pressed the button, it took several minutes before they answered and then I had to wait another 15 minutes before the emergency services arrived.

When I accidentally pressed the button, they answered and did exactly what they told me they would do when I bought the service. I found the little thing I had to carry around with me was awkward so it was hard to figure out what to carry it in.

There have been a lot of falls which I don't understand. There were a couple of times they were supposed to call me back and I haven't received any calls. There was one time where I tried it and I thought I would get a call back and next thing I knew, the fire department was there but I never got a call or received a response on the device.

Every time I have tested it, it has worked perfectly. However, they are based back East, and I would feel more comfortable if they had an office out here in the West.

I think that the buttons are nice and large. I think the option of having a necklace or a watch is good as well. When we call in for a test, it does quite a few rings until it's picked up.

I have fallen with it on and it has not buzzed. The speaker didn't come on. That happened several times. I wanted to wear the watch and I thought you could wear the watch and not wear the little square box, which you have to have with you. It is not what I expected. I wanted to wear the watch with the services on the watch as it is not as obvious as the necklace.

It seems like when it says "call in progress" and you can't stop the call from going through once the button is pushed. Between the time that I press the button and get a response, it's not as fast as I would really like.

It doesn't work as well as I'd hoped. When I call or press the button I get a signal and says my call is in progress but then nobody calls me back. It's difficult to talk to one of their representatives, the phone is either busy or nobody is there.
