When mom fell, they contacted us when she did not respond to them trying to get a hold of her promptly. If it wasn't for guardian, no telling how long mom would've been on the floor before somebody came to help her. We are so thankful for guardian alert.

It's not the service itself, it's the beginning process of it all .The customer service Rep. She really did want to answer my questions,was snappy; rushy.I was telling her about the information from Guardian's Commercial that's what made me call in after researching this company.The customer service Rep.told me about the activation frees/shipping & assured me about the commercials 1st month free ,but when I activated the system not even a few days 2/3days I get email they charged my debit card for the first months payment ???? After she had changed my card the day I put the order in as well as me asking her a few times before her sending the very 1st.charge for the equipment.When you get pushy Customer Service Representatives that makes the overall Company look bad !!

For the little time we did use them, they were very attentive to my fater in law and even though he decided he wasnt ready to use the devices offered, Medical guard understood and gave us their support and understanding. We will be back when my father in law decides he needs Medical Guardian again.

Have not yet needed to make an emergency call. I did call to "test" the device after about a month of service. Once I activated the device, the response was prompt(less than 1minute). I feel less guilt and stress about leaving my mother inside while I work in the yard. She feels less anxiety about be alone.

When I was on the phone with Medical Guardian's sales reps, I quickly started to trust them and I liked the service that I got. I had planned on calling other companies, but after talking with Medical Guardian, I went with them. They are very easy to work with.

I think it's a good machine. It is quite and easy to read, and it's not big or bulky. I had one incident when I didn't understand the testing procedure and I tested the machine wrong. But, the person came on the line and told me how to go about testing it the correct way. All my questions are answered, and they have information, I am impressed with them.

My first experience was not positive. The rep on the other end of the line was extremely pushy and I told her I was just gathering information, but she did not want to hear that. My second encounter was very positive though. I'm not that pleased with the device, because I got the GPS I have to have a neck one rather than the wrist. It takes a little bit to get used to. I think I accidentally pushed the button twice and the people on the other end were very courteous, nice, and understanding.

it's kind of hard to put on my belt loop. But, at the same time, it's not going to fall off right away. The one around my neck is very comfortable. I've accidentally hit it a couple times and they call back within a minute. They shipped it to me quickly and it was very easy to set up. I'm very happy with everything so far.

It's well built and the people on the other end of the line are very nice when I test it. The only complaint is that they cord that goes around the neck keeps stretching longer. I have to keep adjusting it so it's up higher.

Thus far, thank the Lord we have not had to use it in a real emergency. However, when we tested the system, the operator was very very rude! We had to call back a few times because the pendent wouldn't work properly, as well as the base station. The operator basically told us we didn't know what we were doing. She would not be quite long enough for me to explain why we were calling! She said it was mandatory that she keep talking and tell me all the same stuff over and over. What she was telling me we were doing wrong, was what the operator before her, told us to do. At this time, I would not recommend this product due to having to deal with your rude operators.

I recently purchased the system and haven't needed it for an emergency. However, the setup was easy. The customer service individiaul I spoke with to activate the system was very helpful and courteous. The price of the service is comparable to the others, and I was happy that the pendant, watch, and lockbox were included.

We bought devices for two individuals. The process was easy and straightforward. Setting them up was also simple and they have staff to guide you in doing so. You have to test every month and the response has been quick. And we had one false alarm where the button was accidentally pushed and the EMT was on scene within minutes.

Rating this service is difficult, since it would take an emergency to be able to ACTUALLY rate them. What I DO know is that they handle business in a rapid, friendly and professional way, and I have confidence that they would handle an actual emergency just as well.

They were the first company that I called after I saw their ad on television and the price was right. I am a stroke patient and I fall often. When I test it, it works fine. When I ordered the equipment, the gal had the best personality, we clicked right off the bat so that is another reason I got the service.

The portability of the unit is what made me decide they were the right company for my mother. I also like the fact that it is water resistant. They are very happy to answer and provide little things that we might use to help her. She is hard of hearing and they have taken notes and have been very good about working with us.

I use the necklace and it is wonderful. I put it on before I get out of bed and it stays on until the next day. I have tested once or twice and it seems to be working great. They are very nice over the phone and they take their time and don't rush you. They are as helpful as they can be. It's wonderful for seniors.

Once I didn't realize I had pushed the button and they answer right away. There is somebody there in case you have an emergency. Still, I am undecided about Medical Guardian because others advertised that you could be away from home and it still works, but mine you have to be close to the machine so if I am in town it is not going to help.

We got it for my mother in law to make her feel secure. It is good coverage and she is more comfortable. She prefers the band on the wrist more than the necklace.

By just pushing a button, in five minutes or less somebody will come and help you out. The device is easy to carry and I have had no problems having it on me. It saved me from a very serious stroke. Its not that expensive, I could throw it away and buy some snacks or have this, something that can save my life.

I went with this because you can fill out a contact list to be notified before they call for an ambulance. My father had to use it last Friday, he fell in the bathroom and just pushed the button. They did everything and took my father to the nearest hospital, so it was a quick reaction. I like the way the system works and that they are efficient.

When I bought it, I assumed that they could talk out of it to us. You have to press the button and then make your way to the home base to talk. That's the only negative thing about the device, everything else seems good and helpful. They were easy to get ahold of when testing it and are good at answering questions.
