So far things are ok. The problem is, this one is only good when I'm at home. If I'm down in Arkansas or something it just won't work for me. Other companies have it where, no matter where I am, if I push the button I will get medical help.

I think they are a reliable company. They told us we should test it at least once every month, so we do that. Every time I had to test it, it seems like there's always somebody on duty at the other end of the line. They respond appropriately and ask us if we're alright.

I've been very pleased with them. Thank god I haven't had to use it but I do call them because they told me I got to call and make sure it's working properly. I've also pushed the button by mistake a few times and they've been very good and polite to me. It's working well, I hope they'll be there when I need them.

I got it because of the price and their reviews for my mother, she is the one that uses it. Whenever I call with questions, they've done everything they can to answer them. It's not perfect, it is kind of a pain to have to carry the home device around, but it's very helpful.

I saw their advertisement and figured I'd try it out. It works great, if you brush that button help is on the way. I don't leave home without it. My father took it into the bathroom once and needed some assistance real quick. Medical Guardian got help in a minute, they don't mess around. It really helps me and saves lives.

It seemed to meet the needs of my elderly parents, so I got it. My dad was alone one time and was having trouble standing up to reach his walker. So, he used the watch and got the emergency group to assist him. They just came out quickly and handled everything. They were very efficient and reliable.

So far it works. I feel safe with it. I keep it right by my bed and I know its there. I have called in a couple of times because they had first said that I should do that at the end of each month. Last time they told me I didn't need to call anymore, that they would call me instead. The dilemma I have now is that I never know when they're going to call. I never know if I'll be around when they do that.

It's always available for me and that's all I care about. No matter where I am I can get me help right away. It sure makes me feel comfortable to have it. it's worth the money

I have it because my daughter came up from California and did a bunch of calls to get me something. She picked this one for me, and now I have it. It's easy to use. So far I have just tested it and I've called once when I had questions about the battery. I was worried because I was told it was a 5 year battery and I didn't know it would last that long. When I called to ask someone told me something different. I called again and they told me it was a 5 year battery again...

It's for my mom, she is hard of hearing. She can have it on always, even when she is in the shower. When she pressed the button she was able to hear what they were saying and speak with them. They called an ambulance and my sister at the same time so they could come and help her. They were there when she needed them.

It's for my mother. The only time we have used it was for testing. The buttons always work. There has never been a time when no one picked up in a reasonable amount of time. They are always courteous too. My mom sometimes worried about the necklace or the watch getting wet, but both are good.

On a typical day I just wear it while going around the house. It's really convenient to use. It just hangs around my neck since the one that goes on the wrist is kind of large. I check on it periodically to make sure it works. When my grand kids were playing with it, they called to make sure that there was no problem. I would like them to call me more often to test the system though.

This is for my mother. She has fallen 2-3 times and we've used it to get an ambulance for her. They have always been very responsive and have been there when we needed them. I've never had any trouble getting to them. Right now we are having trouble with the base though. It doesn't always work when she needs it.

They had some high ratings on the internet and liked the fact that their call centers were in the United States, so I went with it. I've only tested it but they're pretty nice when they answer the phone. Right now my system is connected to my home phone and I want to know if they have cellular systems and if there's any extra charge for that.

I was looking for a service like this and somehow came across Medical Guardian. I can't remember how, but I ended up calling and getting it all set up. They were very helpful getting it ready. My daughter did that part for me and they went through all the steps with us. I wear the thing around my neck everyday and everything is going well so far.

I heard good things about them before getting it and, since the price was right, I got it. The thing always works and they always respond promptly. I'd like them to have something with GPS, something that could keep track of people, but I'm not sure if they have that already.

My daughter got it for me. It's good quality. About two weeks ago I fell and couldn't get back up. I had to slide myself to the button to press it and they sent someone out here to pick me up. They came immediately after I pressed the button. I think that a person that lives alone really needs something like this. It really comes inn handy.

These replies concern only the basic unit with a call button. This unit is excellent. But the unit which registers a fall is too sensitive and will sound an alarm for no reason at all. We had to discontinue the fall unit. This service is a gift from my children so I am not able to answer the monitary question below.

The information that I read on a magazine ad convinced me of looking into it and getting it. I'm new at this sort of thing, but I wear it all day and for a while I also wore it all night. I didn't even know if that was necessary, but I did. One time I set it off accidentally while sleeping though. They called me back and I just told them it was a test. It it did what it was supposed to do but I stopped wearing it at night after that.

I saw some of these services on TV. The others didn't meet my needs, but Medical Guardian did. I had no issues setting it all up or using it. One day I was having a panic attack and had to use it.

I picked them because of the benefits that were offered by the equipment. I usually put the necklace on in the morning. If I go out, I bring the other part with me while I do my day's work, whatever that might be. They have answered every question that I've had and they have been very straightforward. There's never any pressure from their part either.

The time we had to use it was when my wife fell. They called me to let me know what had happened and that there was someone on their way there. Fortunately they didn't have to break into our house since my sister in law was on her way and saved the day. The service was exceptional, their folks stayed with me all through-out the process.

We looked online and compared all of the services available. Medical Guardian was the most highly rated, so we went with it. We've tested it a couple of times and also had a couple of false alarms.
