I only had to use it one time. My wife took a bad fall at home, so I called Medical Guardian and they got the fire department out here in less than 7 minutes. They're very professional.

I read it on the magazine. I've never had to use it. I don't really have anything to compare it with but I've never had any trouble, I check it once a month and that's the end of it.

Because of the ratings on the internet. I had to use it when I was falling down or slid out on my chair just works every time. Well they always answer, it might take a minute but it failed me once.

My wife wears it when she goes walking or when she's alone in the house. They have always answered when she presses the button, no matter if it's on purpose or by accident. They also seem to be very courteous.

I saw an advertisement for them so I decided to get it. Usually I put it on in the morning and take it off at night. I'm going to send it back though. The device only works within 300 ft. of the base unit and that's a very restrictive thing. I know there are other ones that have GPS on them and I want one of those. Now that I know it has a GPS, I am happy with my Medical Guardian as I have two homes and go between them all summer.

Because that's the only one I knew about. You know you're asking me all these silly questions okay we bought the device in because I needed something that would call me in case my mother hit the floor, I'm appreciating and she has never tried to call me yet so let's keep it at that please.

It was an advertisement that we followed up on. We have to use it once so far, if there was an emergency and they understood they dealt with the situation very calmly and helped us out, its very convenient.

I have been fortunate in that, since I got it, I haven't had to use it. I've had some false alarms while washing dishes but they always come on and ask me if I'm alright. I feel very confident in that they're there for me.

I'm happy with my medical alert that I have because I'm home alone and really don't have neighbors so my kids want me to be safe so that's why I got it. I haven't had to use it yet, I had it for a year or so. I did use it once by mistake. I know they will come and help me when I push the button and I'm very happy with that.

The fact that I could use it outside the house, whenever I went. I have never used it as an emergency thing I had the opportunity to do it but there was somebody there with a cell phone. Well I never had an opportunity yet to use it for an emergency so I can't answer that question.

Price and availability. Number of times emergency calls my parents are older so I had emergency calls went in and somebody could respond to their needs. They've always been really responsive. It would be nice if they have a speaker that they could be there for the device if they're away from the phone.

I looked at a lot of services and this one seemed to suit my needs best. With it I have the ability to go all over the house. I have never had to actually use it but it has gone off a couple of times on it's own and I've tested it too. Sometimes when that happens it takes them some time to respond.

My daughter was the one that went and picked this one, I really had no say in this. I have it on me all day, except for when it's charging. I wish I didn't have to put it to charge as often. They even call my daughter when the battery on the thing gets low...

My husband was reluctant to wear the device. Due to dementia, he got flustered & pressed the button accidentally - in front of his friends. He was not in any kind of emergency. He was embarrassed, dismayed, and flustered further with the alarm sound. As the first responder I got a call, and was able to acknowledge and resolve( cancel) the alert as "false alarm" . He is still "at risk". I am still wanting him to give it another try, as he does fall frequently. He does not want to make a "big fuss" & "bother" folks with his falling. He just doesn't understand it would give him more freedom, & also free me up to go other places & not require my total observation .

I had a relative that recommended this service for my mother, so we got it. The thing is that it's not really being used as it should be. The wearable part is usually just hanging from a door knob. The one time we had to use it though, it worked just fine. My mom made it to the base unit and pushed the button and things went as expected.

The doctor suggested we get it since we live out in the country. We've never had to use it, but my dad has accidentally pressed the button. They were right on it and got a hold of me. When I couldn't come, they called my sister asap since she lives next to him.

I'm glad I I haven't had to use it, we've just tested it so far. The service is up and it functions fine every time we call. Sometimes the calls take a little bit longer to connect than what I'd like though. Besides that, I think they're a little expensive and they charge a lot for broken parts...

We've never had to use it. Customer service called us once to let us know that we needed a new battery for our device. The problem was that we didn't really need it and the issue just sort of resolved itself. Other than that, the only problem we've had is that the signal of the wireless device kind of waxes ad wanes in the house. So there are times when the alarm goes off but it seems to have a hard time connecting to the service. I don't think that has anything to do with Medical Guardian though, that's probably mostly because of our provider, Verizon.
