I've used Bay Alarm for the past 5 years for my mom. Everyone was always courteous. I didn't know what to expect when I called to cancel my mom's service because of her passing. They were just as courteous and helpful as always. I talked with Richelle. Thank you, Bay Alarm. Even though she never had to use it, I felt assured knowing she was protected. I would recommend this service.
I called Joseph who was a tremendous help getting some of the information changed regarding my mother (who has the Bay Alarm system at her home). Give Joseph a raise. He did a great job! I would definitely recommend Bay Alarm to other people.

I purchases the mobile plus SOS package with caregiver tracking and fall detection for $39.95/month plus lockbox. The set up instructions were easy and initial tests were answered promptly, even in an area of a building where I didn't expect great cell service. To me, so far -- I've had it one month -- the best feature aside from the fundamentals, is that if the alarm button is accidentally pressed, there is no charge. Some companies have a charge if you surpass a certain number of "false alarms". The device is sensitive so it takes a little getting used to to find the best spot to wear, carry, or attach it. (I have a pacemaker so I opted for the belt clip). Everyone at the call center is friendly, efficient and polite.
Just received the package and it was easy to install. Had to call for help with lockbox but they were very helpful and I achieved success. They do provide very good instructions as well. I did test the system and their response time made me more secure in knowing that my spouse would be protected while I was gone. If you are able to pay for the entire year, you get one month free. I added the fall protection which added $10 to the $29.95 for total of $39.95.
I called Tech Support with mobile app question. John A. was extremely kind, helpful, and thorough. He walked me through the complete process of setting up and testing my new alert system. Thanks a lot, John! You were a BIG help. I hope everybody else at Bay Alarm is as supportive as you.
Bay Medical CONTINUES to make fraudulent charges using my stored credit card credentials. Bay has made it impossible to cancel services, and is actively participating in "Elder ABUSE/FRAUD". Please cancel services for my mother, **. This has been a horrible customer experience. Please please please assist.
My sister got my mother the wearable device that can connect her to the operator at the push of a button. My mother never wears device because she complains that it turns on by itself. I did not believe her until I wore the device around my neck: it sent an alert after 2 minutes I wore it and I was only sitting down talking to my mom; it has a motion sensor that supposedly activates the alarm automatically when it detects a fall; however sensor appears too sensitive and any sort of motion appears to set it off. My mother says that medical alarm unit is for bedridden living mummies who hardly move at all...
Hi Renzo -
Fall detection is best for those who are prone to blacking out, fainting, and are less active. If mom is still active, there is a better option for her and we would be happy to help make that change to her account. Fall detection is known to have a more sensitive device, because of who it's made for which is why we don't recommend it for everyone. It seems to be working fine, but not for your mom's needs. We will have a representative reach out and assist you with the necessary changes so mom can feel more protected without the intrusion of the false alarms.
Thank you,Bay Alarm Medical
I just wanted to let you know that I had to update my credit card info and change something on my account and the people that helped me were kind and very helpful. I like that someone answers the phone and I didn't have to push a bunch of numbers to get to a live person. Both people that I talked to were very sweet and very helpful and informative. I appreciate the peace of mind knowing that my Dad will have someone to talk to if he falls. Thanks to Jessica and I don't remember the name of the first man I talked with, but he was great as well.
Alert system works as they describe it my issue with them is customer service. A lot of confusion about which item is causing alert system to go off if not done by you. Also when there is an item problem message doesn’t get transferred to correct place and there were alerts sent to everyone on list. Difficult to get through to get a problem like that get taken care of.
The service Bay Medical provided was great. The few times it was used, the service was very prompt and given in a very kind and calm way. And when we tested the system on occasion, it was always an easy process. The return process was easy and the customer service representatives are very nice, professional, patient, and helpful!
