have already recommended it to friends and family. It gives me a sense of security. That I didn't realize I was lacking. All I have to do is press a button should I need to. They call to make sure I tested it and was happy with it.

Service is very good, they answer all your questions. The device is excellent and I feel safe now. The only thing I don't like is the necklace hanging around my neck, it bothers me but there is not much than can do so it has been good. It is expensive but I recommend it highly.

Easy to read and it has the time and date on it. If we have an emergency, it would make me feel more comfortable. When I tested it, the people I spoke to were very helpful and good communicators. They answered all my questions and they didn't have to get anyone else to answer them. They obviously know the product and what they are talking about.

Customer service has been an issue. When I first called to inquire about the service, I spoke to a salesperson and said I'd be back in touch. The next morning a received a called from a spoofed local number that was the salesperson. Why does a reputable company use a disreputable practice? But based upon reviews, I ordered the Home Guardian. I was told that although no guarantee, I would received it by a certain date, which was very important to me. But I did not receive as promised. Then I was double charged on my credit card. When I called I was told this was an error and the erroneous charge was credited.

I like how easy it was to set up. I was walked through the process and never felt rushed while on the phone. I also like the speed volume that Medical Guardian replys with once the aletr button is pressed. I like having the choice of a pendant ot wristband to wear.

Everybody that I have worked with is very gracious. The device is very easy to use. I realize that it is more expensive than other companies, but I know that I need to pay for better service. I don't like how the device has a blinking light on it, because it lights up my room at night.

There is always someone to answer any questions that speaks English clearly. I like that I am to test it out monthly to make sure that all systems are go.

Polite staff. Very willing to help people in need and those who press the button by accident. The first time my mother accidentally pressed the button, Medical Guardian picked up after only 2 rings. This last time it rang at least 10 to 15 times before someone from Medical Guardian was there. Luckily it was an accident but if she needed someone emergently, I think that was MUCH too long of a time delay before someone was there for her.

Karen, thank you for your review. We're happy that you are satisfied with your mother's device and service overall. Typically speaking, you should hear back from one of our operators in under a minute. Regular monthly testing will ensure her unit is working as it should. If that is not the case for your mother, please feel free to reach back out so we can look further into your concerns. Feel free to reply directly to this message. Have a great day!

We have only called for test purposes - The call button works as expected, response on base station is within about 30 seconds but the voice connection has a lot of static making the response hard to understand. Otherwise system seems to work as expected. One great feature is the lock box with house key for the front door to make emergency service access easy.

I like everything about it. I like that you have a wrist watch or a thing for your neck. I had one incident and an emergency vehicle came right away in ten minutes or less. So far I've been satisfied with it. I have no complaints. I've been very satisfied with them.

I called in to do the first check two weeks ago and it failed. Nobody came on the line for over fourty five minutes. I couldn't even call an ambulance so I called my daughter on my cell phone which I never use and she called the care specialist. The next day I called them back and put in a formal complain to the supervisory and then I waited two days and tried another test and it went through perfectly but I'm very leery about it. I'm still on the line if I'm going to keep it or not. I'll probably wait a week or two and try another test and see how it works. I'm on the line as to whether I can trust the company.

I like the fact that the fall detection does work. I tested it and fall detection really does work. It's a little heavy, they need to redesign it. The salesman was good, he went overboard to try to make this thing right for me.

When I tested it I got an immediate response. They're there when you hit that button for emergencies. I wear the wristband and the leather part on the band catches everything you go around. It's like you have to wash it every day to keep it clean.

I was with another company and I like that they can provide the same if not better service at half the cost and I also like that there is zero contract. I've tested it twice and that was good. I very much like the key locking device that medical people would have access to the key rather than sticking it under a door mat or flower pot.

I like the size of the base unit. It's smaller than what I had with a different company and the lock boxes they provided for my home keys and all the equipment seems to be working very well. I did hit the button accidentally and got a fairly swift response and they also contacted my son when they weren't able to reach me.

It would not transmit GPS and my location when I needed it. It worked fine in the backyard in my home, but when I got down on the farm, it wouldn't. They treated me fine and when I called and asked them they said they didn't have any tower in that area. They were as nice as they could be, they jsut couldn't help me at all.

I had one before that was cheap and wasn't nearly as nice, the necklace has a real smooth touch to it. I don't have any complaints what so ever. Shortly before I got it, I was on the floor for twenty five hours without food or water so that is why I got it. I don't think it is a whole lot to pay for your safety.

I have no complaints, I am very satisfied and feeling very secure. My only issue is when I initially called I told them woman to delay the order because my budget was packed up and she put the order through right away so I had overdrawn and I was not happy with that little incident. When I called them about it, the gentleman I spoke with gave me a free month's service to make up for it.

I switch between the necklace and the bracelet because I don't like the string showing around my neck but that is very minor. I have tested it twice and it has worked both times and they responded quickly. The cost is low, though some people tell me there are lower programs, I am satisfied.
