Customer service has answered all my questions when I first ordered the device. They've also been able to assist me when I give them a call. The device itself is very annoying, every 30 seconds or so it flashes a light.

The lanyard kept breaking or falling apart. I had to recharge every three days at least. The charging unit cord is too short. I learned that I did not have fall alert until I fell, but was able to get up on my own. I'm looking for another company.

The billing practices of Medical Guardian are fraudlent. They are taking advantage of senior citizens. I called to disconnect service as my mother was moving to assisted living and the service has not been disconnect. This month I was billed $443 dollars. They have a very poor snail mail disconnect process where you wait for them to send you a letter and then you send it back all the while you are paying for thier service. If you ask for a supervisor, they might respond in 24-48 hours. Please choose a different company as this company is like the "hotel california" you can check in but never leave.

I have had my Medical Guardian for 1 week. They said I could shower with it on and now my device does not work. I called their customer service line; waited 50 mins., 1 hour, etc., times 4X. I did a chat online, then guy called my h#. He interrupted me constantly and said he was transferring me to someone to help me quicker. After I told her my medical Guardian was not working, she hung up on me. I do not care if they are busy. I will wait my turn, but hanging up on calls when you do not know the emergency one may be having is inhumane. They are so nice when they want your money. I will be going with another company that will answer the phone on first few rings.

I have attempted to cancel this service I purchased for grandmother for some time. After calls and sending in a cancellation request form by mail, I am still being charged. I have been asked to provide a death certificate. It's crazy. I cannot imagine an elderly person with no support system trying to cancel. It's like they are purposely charging me for a service that my family is no longer using. On the last call I was told another cancellation form was being sent out for me to complete. That form has yet to arrive in my email. It should not take this much time and effort to cancel a service. Now I have to contact my credit card company to dispute the charge. If you card is on file, they will continue to charge you. The BBB rating for this company is 1.5.
