It's reasonably priced. They're extremely efficient and answered quickly, they're concerned and question you firmly to assure you are okay. It's easy to use, works pretty good. They have different options that you can wear around your neck or wrist.

I accidentally pushed it once I didn't mean to and somebody answered immediately. I wish it didn't flash, everybody's asking me what is it flashing underneath your clothes. It gives a sense of security, but I bought the fall protection which if you fall you're supposed to be able to alert I have gone down twice and it's not done anything so that would be my dissatisfaction with it.

It's working great. She calls to tell me when it needs to be charged. I have had to use it a couple times I have fallen and boy they come right up when I pushed the button. I lose my balance and I fall so and they have been a big help, they've gotten my help right here. It's working great.

Every time that we've had to get in touch with them for any reason at all they are very cordial and very dependable and do what they say they will do. It works well. It just gives me comfort in knowing that if I need somebody I can get to them very fast with this.

I keep it on in case something happens. The folks that helped me to set it up were just absolutely great. I've accidentally called it a couple of times and response was certainly quick so I know that if it were an emergency they have my back. I wish I had a pocket to put it in sometimes.

Everything has gone well. I accidentally set it off by leaning over and pressed on it one time and it was answered immediately. That told me that if I really, really needed help they would be there. I really wish that I had gotten a watch because I think something on my wrist would be less noticable.

My wife, Beverly, uses it when I'm not in the house, like when I go shopping and it comes in handy to know that least that she has somebody that can be out here at the house real quick if I'm not available. I know the response is really quick.

It's small and compact and it's not in the way, we have 2 little puppies and they don't bother it. They have called me several times and said that I didn't fill out some kind of paperwork and send it in and I sent back everything they had sent me and they said they didn't receive it so they were going to send me some more and I still never got it, but they quit calling so I guess it's okay. Maybe they found it.

I like that it's right around my neck so if I fall it'll go off and let my contacts know or when I need help they'll come. When I've called their customer service I've never been put on hold. I've got all the answers I needed.

Every time I've had to call Medical Guardian been excellent about getting answers, and answering my questions. The customer service is very friendly and knowledgeable. I don't like that the device has to be recharged every two or three days. But it is mobile and doesn't require a home monitoring system.

Jessica and Linda (from Collections) was instrumental in my reaction. As with many, we are running out of money fast with inflation. She offered me options that I did not know about. She didn't have to do that, but she did and that made all the difference. She was very kind and patient.

I like about it is that immediate connection with people who were there to give me some help when I need it. Fortunately I haven't had to use it but when I first got it I tested it and then I had to get a replacement and I tested that and everything was fine.

It's handy, I got it around me all the time in case of any emergency. All you have to do is press it and I tested it and it worked perfectly. Immediately somebody comes on and asks if there's a problem or why, I just say I'm testing and I just hung up. Good reception and they can hear me and I can hear them very well.

I forgot to charge it when I fell in the yard it didn't work because I didn't charge it but it's perfect because that was my fault and when I first got it I had forgot I had it on one and I went in my closet and was gonna put on a short sleeve shirt and it fell on the floor in the carpet and it said that they detected the fall and was I okay, so I knew it worked when it was charged.

We got Medical Guardian for my father. He was not convinced he needed it. About a month after he started wearing it, he fell in his bathroom. He struggled for about 15 minutes to get up on his own and then finally pressed the watch button! Thankfully, he did not get seriously injured. Needless to say, he is now happy to wear the device

The only thing I dislike is that if he is incapacitated he can't push the button, like if he passes out and he's alone. When he thought something was wrong with the battery he called customer service and they solved the problem.

The contact information is hard to find unless you're holding the paperwork that came with the device. Its not readily apparent how to get a hold of them by internet for anything other than sales. We tested it and they answered within probably 30 seconds.

When I pressed the button by accident about a week ago 3 seconds laterthey called. I put it on my belt loop and it falls off so I have to go look for it. It's in the house of course, but it it's under the bed or whatever and I'm blind. I like that it is small so it fits in my pocket too. The charging is easy, everything is easy.

I like the fact that if there's a time that I need help, I will get the help I need. Sometimes the signal is not what it should be but that's not the guardian's fault. It's just not great, signal here. When I first moved here it wouldn't work at all. So I picked medical guardian and now the signal goes right through and and I get a hold of somebody right away. If I have any kind of a problem, I can call and somebody will help me figure it out. Everybody I have dealt with has been really nice and understanding and listens.

I like that I can wear in the shower, in the bathtub and not worry about to getting wet. It's easy to get on and off. When we tested it they got right back with us and asked us questions if we were okay and if we needed help and we told them we were just testing it, but they were right there on on top of things, we like it. Customer support is right there to help you and got every answer to your question you need.

It's a security blanket for me. I live alone and I accidentally set it off and they're very prompt so that made me feel very confident. The thing I don't like is I set it off twice because I leaned to get something, I wanted to be able to use it to go out in public and with the flashing all the time that's not an option and I can't get this cord off without cutting it.

I accidentally dropped it and it came up with fall detection immediately and they came on asking if I needed help. So even though it was an accident, I realized how on the ball they were. I just don't like the black cord around my neck when I'm dressed up. But I really like the little base station.

I'm happy with it. It's good. They're quite helpful. I only tested it the first time I got it was just to see what it did. The gentleman that was on the other end was very helpful and said if I needed anything all we had to do was push the button. It's convenient. It flashes when it needs to be charged and it's it's an easy charge. I've got no complaints about the thing except for the price for a year.

I like that it holds the charge. I do not like the fact the light flashes. I had a fall, a bad fall, and my device did not go off, but my apple watch did go off and so that is the reason I have it. Generally I'm pleased but I've got to be sure that when I fall it's going to work. I would like to replace the band with a necklace.

I feel so much safer because I live alone and I will have no family when they move. As soon as they leave I'll have to put that box on the outside of the house for 911 to get in. If I need help all I have to do is push this button and I can get help no matter where I am. It is a little heavy, but it charges really quickly.

We're new to the medical alert device, which is for my Aunt Carrie- she is the actual owner of the device and I'm her emergency call. We like the idea that she can go out in the country and walk the dogs or do any of that stuff and we don't have to worry about her falling no matter where is she. Medical Guardian called and said we needed to do our monthly testing. We tried the thing 5 times and it kept saying "call failed" so that's a bit worrying. One thing that happened was when the device was in the charger, my Aunt Carrie's devil cats knocked it off the table where she couldn't get it to get ahold of Medical Guardian. There was a firetruck, ambulance, and two police cars at her house in 7 minutes. I found that very impressive.
