I gave it 5 stars for the ease of setting it up, At 84, I'm not as adroit as I used to be, But the simple directions allowed me to set up my lock box and my emergency communications making me very proud of myself although, ironically, I'm hoping to never having to use it. Thank you for being there. Kathleen

Delivery was within 19 days by fedex, customer service was well informed the product works fine, however it isn't something I was anxious to have but since I had fallen 2 times in one years time I decided it probably is a good thing to at least try

Representative was very helpful and knowledgeable. Directions and information easy to understand. What I didn't like: I waited two weeks after placing the order and paying, for the unit to arrive. Reading the information, I think I will be charged from the day I placed the order, not when it was activated. It was easy to activate the unit, very polite responders.

Excellent customer service with all of our questions answered on the phone. My family member who wears it hasn't had to use it yet, thankfully. The only difficulty she had was understanding the icons that light up while the device is on the charger.

the salesman was extremely courteous and not high pressure but listened to my needs. it was larger than i expected and the cord a little too long even when taken up but it is ok. i will get used to it. i have the charger by my bed and if i have a night when i cannot go to sleep and go to another bed room to read i will take the call button with me. it arrived on the date promised.

They were friendly and very responsive to my information request. The system was simple to setup after arrival which is perfect for my aging parents! Plus the lockbox was included in the package and arrived with the passcode already set.

It was very easy to set up. I am glad I have the GPS available when I'm on the road. However, I find the case for the GPS very hard to affix to my waistband, I had to manipulate the clip with a screwdriver because my hands and fingers are weak.

So far so good. We ordered the one that hooks up to a traditional landline by mistake. They sent the one for AT&T cellular overnight no charge. We set it up and tested it and everything went well. Everyone was helpful and it's nice to have peace of mind. Best device I hope I never have to use.

I appreciate Medical Alert since I live alone and feel I have a friend nearby to help if I should fall. The battery doesn't need to be charged every day and that is nice in case I forget one day. I chose the Active Guardian because it is GPS enabled. I like the lanyard because it doesn't come apart at the catch.

Your plan sounds like it should be very good. The salesman I dealt with was very informative about your product and plan. At this time I told him I was unable to cover the monthly expense as I live on a fixed income. This would be a wonderful help to me but it is definitely not more important than food or medicine. Maybe some time in the future. Thank you.

I used the Medical Guardian Alert for my elderly neighbor who lived alone and I found it easy to get started, reliable and worth it. It saved my neighbor on about 5 occasions when he took a fall and no one was around. I recommended it to a relative and they are just getting started with it. I’m sure they are relieved to have it.

Excellent transaction from initial contact to setting up the system. The agents were all very cordial and helpful. Set-up was easy, took maybe 10 minutes, again, very helpful and cordial. Hopefully, I may never have to use this system but it gives me piece of mind to know I can get help if I need it. Highly recommended.

My 79 year old mother has a Mobile Guardian system and the wrist band stopped working after about a year. She used her spare pendant while the company sent her a new wrist band. They were great to deal with. The operator listened to her...and she is not at all tech savvy. The new wrist band was there 2 days later.

I can't rate this system because never I have used it before, but I think is good to pay $ 30.- monthly plus other amount if you use the services but I can't afford to pay $ 200. because I live in Apartment for retired low income. If you have an offer for this kind of people, here I am sure, you will have a lot of customers.

Outstanding in terms of their response when you press the button. However, I had difficulty contacting a representative for a change of address I need to leave a message three times. Apparently, they are experiencing higher than usual call volumes. They should increase their personnel so that one is not waiting on the phone and then leaving a message.

I really love it. I like that it is affordable, you don't need a land line, you are covered inside & outside & you have a lock box for your house key. it's very important to have the lock box. If & when you press the button & if you are unable to open your door, if you don't have the lock box, then whomever they send would have to break your door down.

Absolutely horrible 1st time experience ! The 1st gentleman I spoke with upon calling to ask/find which product is best suited for my mother and her habits around her very large home and gardens... After a lengthy conversation with questions and answers from both myself and representative. He recommended the complete wrong unit for my mother, did I know at the time it was the wrong unit, "NO" I did not, I solely went on his recommendations as I did not know anything about units available or difference between 1 or other I simply stated what I needed/expected from a unit for my mother and monthly payment was no issue at all, well upon receiving the 1st unit I was not thrilled as it was not everything I wanted for my elderly parent and upon calling Medical Guardian I had no idea this unit would not even work with what my mother does around the home and outside distance to her gardens until person on other end of the phone explained it does nothing what I was asking of him to explain and together after much explanation on his part I did order the correct and 1st and only monitor system I should of had from the beginning. He was very patient and helpful with my frustration and asked if I had explained the 1st time I called what my needs for my mother were..my reply was yes of course as I am to you......He himself couldn't understand why the 1st phone representative I spoke with didn't recommend the unit I ended up asking for...Yes I was quite upset during my conversation with 2nd rep that my mother was not properly monitored/covered with the 1st unit as her 1st garden is over 450 feet away from her home. After it was all settled and I was assured I would be getting the correct unit I didn't even get a call or email with any type of apology from Medical Guardian.....what if ? my mother had something happen that far away from the home by 1 of her gardens ? who would be sorry then for not having the correct monitor....Shame on your rep that handled my original call ! He was not listening to any of my wants and needs for a active senior did he care to listen ? When myself or any customer calls in for a monitoring system we have no idea what we need or want all we can do is explain our needs and it falls on reps ears on what he/she recomends

My son and daughter were looking on the computer and thought that this would be best for me. I'm 97 years old going on 98 next month and they decided that I shouldn't live by myself without some kind of warning. I was very much against it but I got it.

I first heard about it on television. I then did some research on the internet. I ended up getting the one around my neck with the communicator and the rotator. My loved one decided I need this service because I am retired live in the wilderness of Michigan so she insisted I get one. Currently I am 90% satisfied with the system. Everything has been extremely simple. The only frustrating thing is when I am in my shop I do not get a signal.

I came across Medical Guardian while searching online for a medical alert system for my mother. We went with the premium guardian. It is pretty easy to use and understand, which is why we bought it.

The product is easy to set up and is easy for my parents to use. My only issue is that the person wearing the device must be close to the base unit to talk to Customer Service. I wish they could communicate with Customer Service through the actual unit that they are wearing. This would make it easier to use in a house that has multiple floors and rooms.
