I've never had a Medical Alert before but before getting mine I did some inquiring to other people and after a couple of weeks decided on Medical Guardian. So far I've been very pleased.

Just ordered this service for my Mom recently, luckily she hasn't had any accidents and needed to use her device, but it's great for peace of mind when elderly family members live alone.

They are always very friendly and do things when you call. It doesn’t take forever to get through to them. I like that the device calls a call center not 911 automatically in case it s not an emergency.

The only problem I have with the device is there is a little light that blinks, I notice it night. It is probably there to make it easy for people to find but it bothers me. I called customer service and they told me to push a thing but it didn’t work.

The reason I did not give a 5 is because we haven't had to use it yet. So far, your sales people were wonderfully thorough and helpful. Your testing capabilities have been perfect so far. The website was helpful. I will hold out on the 5 until your services are actually needed and see what happens then.

Disappointed that that you system does not alert me to the fact that medical/law enforcement personnel hae been contacted. Inadvertently trigged my unit and was not aware of doing so till the aforementioned were at my front door. Being a new subscriber I did not recognize your calling number when yoHave subsequently taed your calling numbers to my Button so I will immediately recognize any call from you. Would be nice if we were alerted to activation in a manner, other than a phone call. Possible to have the unit flash??

On the occasions we’ve used it, they have performed exactly as I expected. I needed the fire department come and help me. My husband lost his so I think they should replace it but I don’t know what the procedure is.

A bit heavy for me. I wanted the bracelet because that is what my brother had but that didn’t work out so it is heavy around my neck. I test it every month and they’ve done a good job. The battery doesn’t hold.

If I have another bad fall, I feel like I am protected. It makes you feel secure. I have a hard time hearing and I had to ask them to speak up, that is the only thing I didn’t like because they were supposed to know.

When we ordered the devise, we ordered the fall protection. Some how the sales lady did not put it on the order. This devise was purchased for my 88 year old aunt who already had fallen in the past. She fell again after the devise was purchased and she had the devise on, but since it did not have the fall protection, she laid on her concrete car port for an unknown amount of time with a skull fracture, brain bleed, every rib broken on right side and a broken pelvic bone until her neighbor found her. We thought we had the fall protection, but since the sales lady for this company did not do her job, she laid their and suffered. The company offered us lifetime fall protection, which is nice but not enough for what my aunt went thru, and we asked for it in writing and we still have not received it, so can the whole company be trusted?

The device is a little bit hard to figure out how to exactly wear it. A shirt with a pocket when wearing some kind of covering as a sweater in winter is easy, but in summer with few clothes on it is hard to figure out what to do with it.

The only criticism I have is I never got a full accounting of what I paid and how much was for the hardware and the service. I’ve tested it several times and works like it is supposed to. It was easy to set up and use. It is sensitive and they are very responsive. It comes in wrist bands or necklaces so you can make adaptable to what you need.

My daughter got it for me because I fall a lot. I am satisfied with it. I have tested it to make sure it is charged about once a month. I have also used it several time when I have fallen and I can’t get up. Somebody comes on the line and they send somebody out to help me.

I would prefer it if it were lighter. It is a little cumbersome to wear. I have to be careful because one time I set it off in a restaurant and I didn’t notice so they called the restaurant and the police were there to check on me. They did what they said they would do it was my own stupidity that made the call.

Happy to have it. I fell down and 911 came and helped me. The ambulance took me to the hospital. It is kind of big so I don’t love wearing it but I have had to use it two times and it has been there for me every time.

I dislike having to wear it. It's big and for the technology of the time it seems like it's too big. Maybe the technology is starting to show its age. I don't really see what was wrong with the med alert bracelet that I had years and years ago. It says one eight hundred number on it, it's a lot less money too.

The device is lightweight, it can get wet, the magnet is nice to get off and on for my husband. We had the option if he falls it'll go off automatically without having to push it. Stays charge for quite a while.

We had to use it. The device did not work as planned when the signal went off. She hit the button and they were trying to get in touch with her and talking to her but she couldn't hear them because the signal was breaking up. She couldn't understand what they're saying. I got a call on my phone and my phone said spam alert, they left voicemail that said your family member is not responsive we're sending EMT. She was okay but the medical Gaiden box was defective.

So far I haven't had to use it. When I first got it, it went off by itself a few times. I didn't know their phone number the first time and their name didn't appear so I didn't answer and the fire dept came. I now have them programmed into my phone so hope that works and have their number.

Recharging is a problem. As the recharger flashes for a long time, maybe all night, it is impossible to leave in the bedroom, where it is taken off at bedtime. So I have to leave it in another room, which means that I must walk to that other room to charge it. (I always forget to leave it in the recharge room, so this is an annoyance.
