I just wanted him to be safe and I've read Medical Guardian in an advertisement. He typically wears it during the middle of the day. He usually wears the one around his neck so the wristband was a no.

I went online and looked at different medical devices. Medical Guardian just has the appeal of the civil order and I wasn't terribly expensive. I've never used it before. I've seen other devices, but I wanted something small. This device works fine and it's very portable.

I did a search and evaluated all the different comments and different sections of what Medical Guardian provides. My mother uses the device, she hasn't had to use it except for when she accidentally locked herself outside of her home on a cold winter night, they had to come and help her. Customer service is very helpful and very informative.

I had an accident where I fell outside in the snow. I knew I should have some sort of protection in my age. I'm a senior citizen. I wear it around the house and if I go anywhere outside I take the bracelet. I don't use it everyday, but it feels good to have some sort of protection. I've had it for about a year now. It seems easy to use.

I like the size of it, on how portable it is. I don't like heavy things like a big box. I've never had to use it and I just carry it around. I always test it and they always answer quickly.

I chose it because I was on a limited budget and it wasn't too expensive. I've never had any trouble with it. I'm not sure how far away I can be from the base inside the house and still have them hear me when I call though.

Reply from Medical Guardian

Diane, thank you for the review. Your Mobile Guardian can be used both in home and on the go. The mobile base station can stay in the included charging cradle in and around your house (up to 350 feet away from the base). If you push your button and cannot communicate through the base for whatever reason, our operators will assume an emergency is occurring and proceed accordingly. When you are away from home, be sure to take the mobile base with you. You can put it in a purse or the handy carrying case. That mobile base will allow you to communicate directly with our operators in an emergency and also includes a GPS to allow them to locate you if needed. Feel free to reply directly to this message if you have any other questions or concerns. Have a lovely day!

They were recommended by the people that live with my mom, so I got it for her. The set up was simple and she wears it around her neck all day. When I call to test it everything goes smoothly. The price is also good.

I picked them because of all the benefits that it gives you and the price it has. I wear it all day long. Whenever the alarm goes off they contact me immediately. It has just met all of my expectations.

It has been a couple of years since I initially got it for my mom. I have been testing it regularly and it works. Though I think that at some point they called my mom or she called them and she couldn't understand what they were telling her to do.

I wear the device every day. It's relatively comfortable but it can get in the way sometimes. Since I don't want it against my skin inside my clothing either, I keep it tuck in my shirt's front pocket.

My son picked it out and told that it was a good company, it would be responsible for what you're suppose to do and I've used them twice and never had a problem. No matter where I am, all I have to do is push the button on my wrist to call them. The paramedics are very professional and know what they're talking.

My stepmother has it, she recommended it to me. I never had to use it, but I wear it all the time. I don't like that they never check to see how it's working or if you're fine. They were supposed to call to test it once in a while, but they haven't. Also I feel the button might be too sensitive as well.

Ted, thank you for the review. We apologize for the confusion surrounding testing. We don't generally outreach to our customers around testing, but we do encourage all customers to test once a month to ensure that their device is working as it should. We will have a member of our Customer Care team reach out to ensure everything is working as it should in your case. Have a great day!

My daughter-in-law studied them all and decided to put up their system. I've been satisfied with it and I used it once accidentally. I was sleeping with the wristband on and I must've pressed the button without realizing it. Next thing I know, medical people are checking up on me. Their response time was pretty quick.

My daughters picked this for me. The unit is working beautifully. I wear it all the time, except for when I'm in bed. The people that I've talked to when we test the unit have been very nice. I've enjoyed my contact with them. I've only had to use it when I had a fall in a place where I volunteer. I injured myself pretty badly and it went off on its own. The EMTs were there in about 6 minutes and everything worked out well. My only problem with it is that I think it's excessively overpriced. Right now I'm looking for a cheaper model.

It was recommended to me. I haven't used it, but I do test the machinery. When I tested it, the response time is too slow. The device itself is fine. The only problem with Medical Guardian is that the response time is too slow when you test the system. It'll take around 1_ for somebody to respond.

My wife was the one that actually decided to get it because I have spinal scoliosis. It's fairly convenient to wear around my neck on the cord and it's easy to use. One time we had to use it because I fell down and couldn't get back up. I pushed the button, they called my wife, and she came home to help me up. They answered that rather quickly.

The device was just given to me. I had to use it once when I fell down the walkway and it worked out well. I feel like a lot of older people need something like Medical Guardian. They should do something about the price for people on Medicare though.

I picked it based on my own investigation on the internet. The button seems to be reliable and it doesn't take up too much space. The one thing is, it took several calls for them to correct a billing error. From that I learned that they have some practices that are a bit disconcerting when it comes to the protection plan they put on your account. Other than that, it's an insurance that gives us peace of mind.

I got them because of the ratings they had. They have been very responsive. Once I accidentally hit the button and Medical Guardian sent out an ambulance right away. It does take them a long time for them to answer though. Another thing is that the price went up after the first year and I couldn't negotiate it down.

My husband is the one who made the decision. He research different options into emergency devices that we can have at home if we were ever in a situation. I once used it because I was having trouble breathing and I could barley talk. I decided to have the ambulance take me to the hospital. It's nice to have a type of security with you.
