I think it is rather expensive. I like having it with me if I fall down or get unconscious. When we tested it, it worked well. I think it is a good item.

I haven't had any problems, everything is fine so far. Once I leaned against it and it went off and someone immediately answered even though I didn't have a problem.

Already used it once when I'd fallen on my sun porch. Emergency help came and I was unhurt. My only point is that I would like to be able to communicate through the wrist band.

Hi Anonymous,

We're not sure who you are or where you're leaving this review from but we're happy that everyone that you've spoken to was very kind and courteous to you. It sounds like you might have one of our all-in-one devices. We're sorry it's heavy around your neck but we have to fit so many components into one device. We are looking into solutions in the future to make it smaller so it's not uncomfortable. Thank you!

Donna Tenedios Carbondale, PA

Granted I cannot rate the unit/company on use and response in cases of emergencies. I did not have the opportunity . nity to activate the unit. Due to unfortunate circumstances, my mother no longer needed the unit. When I called to return the unit, I was surprisingly informed, that I would still have to pay for the two months I had the unit, even though I did not activate the unit. Apparently, this is mentioned in the Agreement that I don't recall receiving and is very difficult to view on the website. The company does not make this information easily accessible. It's unfortunate that I have to pay for a service I didn't activate. I feel, a reputable company would have such considerations especially since the population they typically serve, is a vulnerable, elderly population.

Haven't had it very long and never used yet in an emergency. My only complaint is the two rubber straps on the watch do not hold the end of the strap firmly enough so it slips out. I trimmed the end, but it still doesn't hold it. I'm using a rubber band.

I did have an emergency and I pushed the button and the gal on the other end answered and wanted to know what was wrong. I was laying on the floor and I said "call my son" and it turns out she did not have my son's number - I gave it to the company when I signed up and that was really a problem.
