I used to have another medical alarm system but with that one, I was able to go just 270ft away from where the modem was and I didn't like it. That's why I bought Medical Guardian because I can go everywhere. I just have to put the modem into my pocket. It's really portable and comfortable for me. I never have to use it but when I set it up with the help of customer service it worked perfectly. I'm really happy with Medical Guardian in general.

I bought Medical Guardian because I'm always alone in the house and I had a back surgery last year. I didn't use it yet but a few months ago I was laying in the garage and I couldn't get up and I was needing help for stand up; that's when I decided to get this. I already talked a couple of times with customer service and they have been lovely towards me. I broke my wristband and they help me right away for send me a new one and they did an incredible follow up after this event. I feel really secure with the device.

I just researched different companies and Medical Guardian was the most affordable and responsive company according to the ratings and reviews. I got it for my mother in law. We already used it once, she fell at home and she asked for help through her pendant and they send an ambulance for her immediately and they called me to alert me so I could go and be with her at the hospital. I've been completely satisfied with it.

I bought Medical Guardian because I live in the middle of nowhere and it was the only company that was able to provide me with the service. We need to be able to let somebody know in case I need help. I wear it all the time, I put my belt on every time that I go outside or around the courtyard. I feel a little bit safer with in on me. I would always prefer a better deal but it's a good value for what it is.

I saw an advertisement from Medical Guardian and I liked the device; it's really small and handy for me. I have the necklace and I use it all the time. It's easy to maintain and I feel comfortable with it. I live by myself and I'm normally going out to the backyard or walking around the house. I already once accidentally pressed the button and within moments I had somebody talking to me asking me if I was okay or if I need something with what they can help me. I was really impressed. I'm happy with the response time and their service, it's excellent.

I got it because I just like the features that it has. I don't use it every day but I already pressed the button once when I was sick and I was needing an ambulance. Sometimes I have problems with the Wi-Fi reception of the device and I feel really uncomfortable with it because if I fall where is not a Wi-Fi service I won't be able to ask for help.

Reply from Medical Guardian

Linda, thank you for your review. Your Premium Guardian does not actually require WiFi to function and actually works using AT&T cellular coverage. So long as you have sufficient cellular coverage at your location, your device should function properly. If you have any other questions about how your unit works, please reply directly to this message. If you would rather speak to someone on the phone, just say so in your reply and we will have someone reach out. Have a great day!

We bought it for my mother a year and a half ago. We did a lot of research and Medical Guardian was the best fit for our necessities. We used it for the very first time the last week, my mother had an emergency and she pressed the button. She got the help that she was needing at that moment. We're really relieved that she has a device like this one. The customer service is good and they have an excellent time of response and they have been always available for answer any concerns that we had, and, most important. They already helped my mother once.

My son was really looking at the Medical alarm systems and he chose Medical Guardian as the best option in the market. The reason I wanted it is because my husband died and I need something that can give a protection or call for help if I need it. With Medical Guardian I just have to hit the button and they'll contact me right away or send help if I need it. I use the wristband on my arm all the time. because it's an assurance that if something happens, somebody can be there for you. I have already recommended it to all my friends.

I like the fact that the device has GPS and it covers several things that I was looking for the future security of my mother. She wears it all the time even when she's taking a shower. She hasn't used it yet; I already did a couple of times a test to make sure that it is working properly. Customer service is excellent. Every time that I called them they had answered all my questions everybody's very friendly.

We purchased Medical Guardian after we went through all the options of other providers like this one. We haven't had to use it yet, just the first time when we set it up and tried. The customer service is really good anytime that I've called them with a doubt or concern they had answered right away. I can't say anything negative, I've been really comfortable with my service.

I live outside the city on a farm in the countryside, so, a lot of medical alarm systems doesn't work here. I have a bracelet to wear and a necklace too. I've never in the past 6 years had one problem with it. I feel safe with the device near me, if I'm outside or anywhere it will alert the correct people to request help for myself if I need it. I'm really pleased with it.

I read the reviews and rated from the other clients online. It's for my grandmother, thankfully she hasn't had to use it, she just hit the button a couple of times, she received a call right away asking if she was okay. They're very courteous and helpful. She takes it anywhere with her, from the house to the store and it works perfectly. The initial set up was very easy, We're really happy with it.

Medical Guardian was recommended by a friend. I haven't had to use it so far. Customer service is excellent; They answered all my questions when I called them and also they encouraged me to run a test every month or so, to make sure the device is still working. I feel more secure with it around me, once I already pressed the button by accident and they immediately contacted my daughter. I was really impressed.

I bought it because it is really portable. If I want to take a walk alone or go to the grocery, I can take my little speaker thing and my necklace and I know that I am protected if something happens to me. I really haven't had to use it for an emergency, just for the monthly tests and they always had answered my call almost immediately in a very courteous and nice way.

I had three heart attacks and a few other problems, so, a medical alert system was necessary. I live alone and my wife passed away seven months ago. I haven't had to use it. I just used it one time when I tested it; I pressed the button and they called right away my son and my daughter in law, but, of course, was just a test at that moment. So far it works well.

After I did extensive research online the website of Medical Guardian gave me the complete information about the whole system and that's why I bought it. I do my monthly test to be secure that is still working properly. I live in Florida and with the last hurricane my wristband was damaged and I called customer service and they sent me a new one without an extra cost I will always be happy about that. The device by itself I think is very well made, it's little, handy and it works flawlessly, I'm completely happy with it. I keep recommending Medical Guardian to all of my friends.

As far as I know, the service is as it should be. What I don't like is not being able to access enough information online. When I log on to my account, all I get is my own contact information -- and I can't edit even that -- as well as info on billing and referrals. I want to be able to see the names and contact information for my contacts, as well as the procedure to be followed when I press the button for a test, and when I press the button because I really need help. Telling me to call or use the chat box infantilizes me -- like I can't be trusted to understand anything on my own, but need the people in the office to make changes or explain things to me. The leadership at Medical Guardian may be under the outdated impression that all older people want a live voice on the phone, but many of us are used to accessing information online and prefer the convenience, just as younger people do. Also, there should be a Don't Know option on the questions about trustworthiness, etc., because if someone hasn't had occasion to use the service, how do we know if it works?

My husband has dementia and sometimes he just can't remember things. I was afraid, mostly during the evenings, that something might happen and I wouldn't be able to get help. That's why I thought getting Medical Guardian would be the best thing. I think I saw one of their TV ads and decided to get it. I thought they would just be the best since they had this GPS technology. The device is fine. I can carry it with me and hang it around my neck. Thank god I haven't had to use it yet but they have been very prompt when I test it. They don't take long too answer.

2 years ago I fell outside the door and cut my head pretty bad, so I had to call them. They showed up fast and the ambulance was here right away. Everyone's very knowledgeable and very helpful. It's comforting to know that I have it with me if I ever need it for something. It's kind of an insurance sort of thing, sometimes I wonder why I pay for it but when I need it I have it.

I read about it on a magazine and decided to get it. I'm perfectly happy with it and feel safe. I've used it once since I got it and they got here immediately. I have one that I wore around my neck, but I kept hitting that thing by accident and setting it off. I kept having to apologize when that happened until they sent me a bracelet to wear instead. Now I have that one and the one that I put on the table and take with me when I go out. I'll need another bracelet though, the one I had is worn out.

I live between the mountain and for the location is very difficult to find a medical alert system that works here.

I will set it off once per month for verifying that is working properly; so far, they were answering on time every time that I tested.

I have the wristband and the little device that I keep on my table. Periodically I check it to make sure it works. Despite having a handicap I walk around the house with a cane, take my own baths, and I do a lot of things on my own. Having it gives me the confidence of doing those things knowing that, if I fall, somebody will come and help me up. I know it works because I have a younger son who accidentally triggered the device on my wrist when I was sitting down and it all worked. Having it gives me a sense of confidence when I go about daily activities.

I got the device for my mom because the pricing was fair and the button was easy to use. When we tested it they called us right away and checked to make sure we were ok. She had to use it once. She tried to get a hold of me but couldn't, so she pushed the button and they got a hold of her. She talked to them, they called me, and that was that. They didn't have to call the paramedics or anything since it wasn't an emergency. It works very well, it's good value. The only thing is that it needs a phone line to work so if something happened to that line, the device wouldn't work.

I chose them because I could take it anywhere I went. I could either have the necklace around my neck or the watch on my arm and take it everywhere in the USA. The button is easy to charge, I can plug it into the car and charge it up there too with the little adapter. I test it monthly to make sure that it's working.

My sons bought it for me after I had a couple of falls. I really had no say in it, they just sent it to me. I like the device but it doesn't really work if I go out of the house. It doesn't really go far enough for me. I've had to use it a couple of times whenever I fell down and couldn't get back up. Most of the time, the operators would call my son and he'd come over and help me back up. They always answer through the main thing and try to help me. They're dependable.

My daughter researched it and got it for me so that I would have it when I got out of the hospital. It was a good bargain. I'm supposed to do a monthly test and anytime I do it they answer and are very polite. It seems to work fine. I had a grandchild that was just fascinated by the buttons and pushed them.

The guy who set me up was absolutely wonderful, very nice, helpful, and sincere. When you order it, they give you a couple of options to wear. You get the necklace but you can also order a watch or some other alternative device. My father is the one that uses it and has pressed the button a couple of times. Whenever he needs them, the fire department comes out and they can use the lockbox to enter the house and help him. They always answer the phone and show up in a short amount of time, they're just very helpful.

My daughter in law ordered it for me. I have fallen before and she wanted me to have it in case it happened again. The only time I ever used it was when I fell in the bedroom. I just lost my balance and fell. I couldn't get up and my daughter was not around, so I punched the button on my necklace and called them. They responded right away and someone came out to take me to the hospital. I was really glad I had it then, it came in handy. I feel secure having it now because I know I can get help if I need it.

I went online and read reviews about Medical Guardian because I had a bad experience with another company. so, I was really precautious this time choosing the best option for my mother. I like the fact that Medical Guardian doesn't demand contracts and it is very easy to communicate between the customer and the company. My mother is really happy with it; she can charge it in the table beside her while she's watching her soap operas; It's really convenient for her. We haven't had to use it more than just a couple of times when we were just trying it and making sure that is working properly, and fortunately is working correctly.
