Medical Guardia has been extremely responsive when I've had to communicate with them. I especially like the GPS so that when I'm outside away from the house, driving or something, I'm still being covered in case of an emergency.

They responded quickly and stayed with me until the ambulance got there. Then they called my daughter and talked with her. They were very polite, very of professional, and I'm very pleased with it. It's very good but I wish it was a little smaller.

When we test it they respond right away. On the initial call they walked me through it and explain why they recommend some examples over the other. There is no pressure, they just said heres knows why we recommend this and to think about it.

Several ways to use it- the button, bracelet, necklace, and home charger. Everything seems to be very simple and easy to use. We did tested and it seems to work fine. When I called the lady was very nice. I had no problem asking questions and it was a really good experience.

In the very beginning when we were setting it up, I tested it an it worked immediately. Someone was right there and I felt very safe. I'm not happy with the devices though. The watch that I wear constantly falls apart and I have to keep putting it back together

I have had no trouble with the equipment. The testing process has gone perfectly. I highly recommend their equipment and service.

When I signed up initially, MG was quite efficient and I was pleasantly surprised to receive the watch about a week after placing the order. The watch was not of sturdy construction though and the wings that contain the pins that attach the watchband are pretty flimsy. On the first watch, two broke off after maybe the 3rd or 4th time I put it on. Further, the watch wouldn't hold a charge for more than 8-10 hours. When I spoke with the tech support group, they stated it might be my cell coverage (I live in the country and don't have a land line) but wanted to send me a second watch to see if it did better. The second watch didn't do better and so they sent me the "pendent" unit along with prepaid return shipping labels. I put the two watches in the mail on April 3 and, when the "pendent" didn't perform either, I mailed it back on April 8 with my label and money. The April 8 package was received the same week and the two packages mailed on April 3rd, using their prepaid labels, weren't received at least 2 weeks later . This return service is just slow and frustrating for someone like myself who wants the service cancelled and charges stopped. The bottom line for me is the people were friendly and tried to be helpful but the product just performed miserably due to my poor rural cell phone coverage.

Customer service is outstanding. I ordered this for my Mom but she passed away a few weeks after receiving it so she never really had a chance to use it. Ordering was very easy & they were so kind when I needed to return the equipment. Definitely a better value than anything else out there.

Customer service has been an issue. When I first called to inquire about the service, I spoke to a salesperson and said I'd be back in touch. The next morning a received a called from a spoofed local number that was the salesperson. Why does a reputable company use a disreputable practice? But based upon reviews, I ordered the Home Guardian. I was told that although no guarantee, I would received it by a certain date, which was very important to me. But I did not receive as promised. Then I was double charged on my credit card. When I called I was told this was an error and the erroneous charge was credited.

Polite staff. Very willing to help people in need and those who press the button by accident. The first time my mother accidentally pressed the button, Medical Guardian picked up after only 2 rings. This last time it rang at least 10 to 15 times before someone from Medical Guardian was there. Luckily it was an accident but if she needed someone emergently, I think that was MUCH too long of a time delay before someone was there for her.

We have only called for test purposes - The call button works as expected, response on base station is within about 30 seconds but the voice connection has a lot of static making the response hard to understand. Otherwise system seems to work as expected. One great feature is the lock box with house key for the front door to make emergency service access easy.

I called in to do the first check two weeks ago and it failed. Nobody came on the line for over fourty five minutes. I couldn't even call an ambulance so I called my daughter on my cell phone which I never use and she called the care specialist. The next day I called them back and put in a formal complain to the supervisory and then I waited two days and tried another test and it went through perfectly but I'm very leery about it. I'm still on the line if I'm going to keep it or not. I'll probably wait a week or two and try another test and see how it works. I'm on the line as to whether I can trust the company.

I was with another company and I like that they can provide the same if not better service at half the cost and I also like that there is zero contract. I've tested it twice and that was good.
