I was looking for life alert on the internet. I responded to 2 of them on line, medical guardian was one of them. Avant contacted me right away by phone. He was very pleasant and convincing me about his company without being a pushy salesman. He kept in touch and made me an offer I couldn't refuse. It was a bit better than the other company. I was pleased to find this company on the top 10 best for life alert system. I am waiting for the equipment to arrive and start using it. Thanks Avant.

Ellen was the rep who helped me to register my 85 year old precious mother. Ellen was friendly and professional. I really appreciate that Ellen could get the order shipped today so I can soon breathe easier when my little mama is at home alone.

Sam is the representative I spoke to. He was polite and helpful with all my questions. I was really excited when my uncle, who is 78, agreed to except this service.I live 30 minutes away and it gives me a peace of mind that help will be there for my uncle with the push of a button.

Shannon was very patient with our family. We got the product to give peace of mind to our handicapped daughter who has developed a choking issue recently. She spoke with our daughter and myself to work out some communications issues. We were very pleased with the front end of the process.

Jessica was most helpful, but neglected to tell me about the Fall Detection feature, which is evidently very sensitive. If it goes off every time my brother rolls over in bed, he will quit wearing it. We will still give it a try. The comments also indicate that it needs to be set up. I was told one just plugs it in. Really too early to rate your service and product.

I recently purchased the unit for my 75 year old father after 3 falls in one week. The customer service representative was awesome. Also when we called in to check the system we had an excellent experience again. All in all very pleased. This is such a relief. They give me peace of mind while Dad remains independent. It's a win win situation for me.

The "Guardian" was easy to install, directions simple to follow. It takes limited space. I placed the wrist button on my husband, for whom the emergency system was purchased. He has been a paraplegic for 50 years with MS (and other...). I was told two pendants would be included, however, only one was in the kit. Otherwise, all is in order and ready to use whenever necessary.

The representative I spoke with was very knowledgeable of the equipment and how the system worked. When I received it and was setting it up, the lady I spoke with was very nice and explained everything I needed to do. She also explained I needed to check it monthly & instructed me how to test it. Everyone has been very helpful.

The representative was very nice and explained everything. The system was easy to get set-up and seems to be working fine. It is giving myself and my family a sense of piece knowing that should something happen again that I'm not truly alone.

The representative was very helpful and answered all our questions. Got it for our mother. Setup went well. She got pendant and wrist bracelet. She only wears her wrist bracelet because she is hesitant about wearing pendant for fear it will go off if she bends down to tie shoe etc. The wrist bracelet is working very well so far. Paid for 2 day service and it took 5 days but they said they would credit it back. So far am satisfied with service.

just recently ordered this service. TIme to put in place is a little lengthy given priority mail (2 day service) should be readily available. The person i spoke with was great.. very informative and helpful in making assessment of needs. When they put into place the "drop alert" (add on) it will bring a much needed broadening of the service to many. I believe I chose the right company for my needs after considerable research.

ONE SECOND ST SO FAR SO GOOD. I DID WEAR THE FALL ONE TO BED AND IT WENT OFF. I HEARD IT CALL TO ME AND IT TOLD ME HOW TO CANCEL THE ALERT, WHICH I DID. NOW I WEAR THE OTHER ONE TO BED AND WEAR THE FALL ONE DURING THE DAY. I WISH I HAD A BASE I COULD PLUG INTO THE BEDROOM AREA AS I DOUBT ANYONE COULD HEAR MY SPEAKING IF I HAD TO PUSH THE BUTTON FROM WHERE THE BASE IS NOW. WOULD HATE TO HAVE EMTS COME IF I DIDN'T REALLY NEED THEM. I HAD A DIFFERENT SYSTEM ONCE AND IT HAD A SMALLER BASE WITH THE MICROPHONE IN IT THAT I COULD PUT IN ANOTHER AREA. I DID LIKE THAT.

The service, when needed was adequate. However, the cancellation was not straightforward and I continued to receive bills two years after the customer (a family member) passed away, despite multiple efforts to cancel including their formal cease and desist submission. When you file their cease and desist, you are not provided with a confirmation number so make sure you take screenshots and document all conversations with their customer service department. Even with multiple attempts to cancel they are still sending me bills and threatening to send to a collection agency!

If I could leave 0 stars I would. This company is horrible. I tried canceling the service and they continued to charge me even after the device was turned off and in route to return. They said I would be charged for the service until the device was restocked….but there is no service because the device is in the mail. After it was confirmed received, they continued to harass me for payment. I called several times but continued to get past due notices. Find another service. They are crooks.

I've never had to use it, but I did test it and it tested fine. I am actually going to cancel it because of the situation with the two-story house and my condition has improved drastically, too. So I don't think I need it anymore.

I dislike the fact that it can't be worn in bed, it can't be worn in in in a pool, and it has to be worn outside with a flashing blue light so that everybody knows my condition. I dislike that very much. The only time that I tested it was when I accidentally dropped it.

I think it's too heavy for a small boned woman. It just pulls on my neck and I seldom use it. I'm sure that's a good quality, but it's really too heavy for a woman who's small.
