I called to cancel service today ONLY because my father is now residing in a nursing home. Your product worked on several occasions for him, dialing 911. The operators have always been very helpful and the front door lock box is a great idea. Every time the EMT/Police always had the correct access code and were able to enter the house without a problem.
Hi Cary, thank you so much for trusting in our team to be there for your father during emergencies. We are glad to know our services as well as our products were of great use. Thank you for your feedback and again, thank you for choosing Bay Alarm Medical.

Although we had to return the system shortly after order, the system was sent quickly, was easy to install, and worked perfectly each time we tested each of the key fob buttons. Bay Alarm should be on anyone's consideration list when searching for a medical alert system.

Only been with service for a few months but have no complaints. We ordered a necklace button and got the wristband instead, but they made the switch out painless and easy. Everyone that we have spoken to and dealt with have been super nice so far. Have not had to actually use the service yet but we have done several "tests" to make sure we were set up correctly and the service was great.

We dealt with a unit being transferred back and forth from Texas to Florida with my grandmother. We couldn't seem to get it to work at all. After connecting with Ashley in the warehouse she walked my aunt through the issues on her end. Then she called and walked me through it as well. She was patient with all of us and went above and beyond. She set a appointment time so we could call back in and make sure she was available. Without Ashley I have no doubt that this would have been much more frustrating and confusing. Thank you for taking pride In Your work and making us feel like a priority!

My mother has been a customer of Bay Alarm for about 9 months. They recently changed the phone system in her retirement community and attached her base unit to a new dedicated phone line. When she tested her system it did not work because of the changes in the phone programming. I was not at her home but was able to contact Bay Alarm and work with them to determine the change that occurred. They adjusted the programming to accommodate the phone system change. Bay Alarm contacted my mother and walked her through testing her system, ensuring that it was operating. As a final follow up they also called me to confirm that everything was operational. I really appreciate their knowledge, patience and follow-up.

I just wanted to say that I have contacted your customer service via chat twice. I got Bryan both times. He was fantastic. He answered all my questions quickly. He gave me some extra info that was actually very useful to me and I just didn't know to ask the right questions to get it. The one thing I have to say, which is a slight drawback, and not at all Bryan's doing, is sometimes he was slow to respond and I'm guessing he is dealing with more than one chat at a time. I know other companies do this too. I don't like it. I think it makes the representative seem slow to respond when really he is handling several calls at once. Bryan was awesome. Thanks for having someone like him.

Thank you to Bay Alarm for resolving this matter and removing the charge for another year's contract. I only wish you had tried to resolve this with me before sending the matter to a collection agency, and then refusing to speak to me about it when I phoned. I certainly would have preferred not to have resorted to this kind of public shaming in order to elicit this response.
Original Review: Aug. 17, 2015
I ordered a home monitoring service for my 91 year old father in about March 2014. Bay Alarm was cordial and efficient in making the arrangements and we began service in late March. To save on the monthly monitoring costs, I paid for one year in advance. Unfortunately, my father barely used the service before he became ill and began a series of hospital visits. He ultimately passed away only a few weeks later, on May 1, 2014.
After the funeral, etc., I phoned Bay Alarm to let them know that I no longer needed the monitoring service. I asked them for a pro-rated refund of the balance of the one-year monitoring service but they said there were no refunds available. I was surprised to hear that even if I returned all of the equipment so that they could re-use it during the rest of the year. They would not refund me for any of the 10+ months of service I paid for but would not be using. Oh well, I thought. I asked my elderly (but still spry) mother to send back the unused monitoring device to Bay Alarm.
In late February 2015, I got a notice from Bay Alarm that my service contract would be automatically renewed beginning in March 2015 for $239.40. I wrote back to Bay Alarm to remind them that I had cancelled the service the previous May. Then, in April 2015, I received another notice acknowledging that Bay Alarm "received notification that a request was made to cancel the referenced account due to the loss of a family member" and that to complete the cancellation request, I needed to return the monitoring equipment and to send Bay Alarm a copy of the death certificate.
This was the first time I heard of Bay Alarm's purported need for a copy of the death certificate but I promptly wrote back and included a certified copy. I also had not realized that my mother had neglected to return the equipment to Bay Alarm so I went to her residence, found the device in a closet and promptly sent it back to Bay Alarm. Despite all of this, Bay Alarm is insisting that I have a balance due on my account for $239.40, which apparently is the cost for another year of monitoring service, which they know I cannot use.
To sum up: I pre-paid nearly $240 for one year of Bay Alarm monitoring services but my father actually used the service for about 2-3 weeks before he went into the hospital and then for a few days between hospital visits; I actually cancelled the service with Bay Alarm both orally and in writing prior to the renewal of the contract term. Bay Alarm acknowledged the cancellation in a letter dated April 10, 2015. I followed all of Bay Alarm's demands for cancellation (death certificate, return of all equipment) but they nevertheless have demanded that I pay for one full year of additional service (for March 2015-March 2016), which they will not be providing since I have no monitoring equipment nor need for the service.
Worse yet and to add insult to injury, Bay Alarm has now ignored all of my attempts to try to resolve this situation and sent the matter to collection. My credit has been or will be damaged as a result of Bay Alarm refusing to simply cancel out my account. I am still hoping someone from Bay Alarm reads this and addresses this profoundly unfair situation. If they do, I will amend this review. But if they don't, I will feel it to be my duty to warn as many people as I can about their sharp business practices.

The issue is resolved as well as the software/operating system of Bay Alarm Medical is capable of doing so. The capability of the operating system to accept individual consumer preferences is limited, and I accept and agree that they have attempted to resolve the issue in good faith as best as possible within the constraints of the system.

Whenever there is a temporary telephone or electrical outage they call to tell us there was a temporary phone or electrical outage. On the customer's number, the contact people's numbers, and cell phone numbers. This is a rural area; there are numerous temporary outages. In one case, the elderly person blocked Bay Medical's number from ringing at her house because of the nuisance of being dragged in her limited mobility state to answer their nuisance calls, which defeats the purpose of the system. If there is a persistent outage then it's in everyone's safety interest to alert us of it. But when the outage has already been restored it's a totally pointless, useless, and frustrating exercise in irritation to call and tell us about it.
Hi Randy, we are so sorry for the inconveniences. We do our best to contact the necessary people in case there are issues with the equipment.

Original Review: Aug. 13, 2015
Ordered service with lanyard alarm button but wanted to see the bracelet button. Talked to sales department and they advised I could order bracelet button and return it if I didn't like it. The day it arrived, I contacted Bay Alarm to notify them that I had decided to keep lanyard button and needed return instructions for the bracelet. Contradictory to what they originally told me, they said I could NOT return the button because I had used the service for over 14 days even though the bracelet did not arrive until after the 14 day limit. If I had known this up-front, I would not have ordered the bracelet to begin with. This seems very deceptive to me.

I leased a medical alarm from this company for my sister who was going through chemo. She passed away in May, and I called to cancel my service, but was told that they will only cancel after they receive the equipment. She lived in Seattle and I live in Denver. My nephew sent me a text just after her death telling me he would take care of it the next day and didn't, so I thought it was taken care of. My former brother-in-law and I parted and bad terms, and he won't send it back. I have no control over getting their equipment back to them and I understand that it's fair that they be reimbursed for it, but think it should have been pay for the equipment OR be charged for service, not BOTH. There are plenty of other companies offering this service and these people are jerks. Look elsewhere!
Updated on 08/27/2015: This is my second review of Bay Alarm. I was and am unhappy with them as after my sister passed away, and no longer need their service, I couldn't get them to cancel. Their call center offered no sympathy at all and it was basically 'tough, pay up!' I ended up paying over $200 for the leased equipment and they're still trying to charge me a monthly service fee. After my first review, they responded. Publicly they are so sorry for my loss and trying to buy a higher rating. BUT - they are still charging me monthly fee. I had to cancel my credit card this morning. I suppose being sent to collections will be next and after I fight that maybe I can grieve for my sister.
PUBLIC Company response 8/5/15: "Hi Allison, we are sorry to hear about your loss. We see that you were stuck in an unfortunate situation and we would love to help you out. Someone from our customer care team will be in contact with you in the next 24-48 hours. Thank you, Bay Alarm Medical"
I do not consider the matter resolved, in fact I just had to cancel the credit card associated with Bay Alarm as you continue to bill me. You didn't make a specific refund offer, but my dealings with you show you are not to be trusted. Many people who need this service are potentially facing loosing a loved one and I think letting them know how insensitive your people are with those who are grieving is worth more than whatever your version of a 'rebate' is.

I am writing on behalf of my mother, June **. I ordered this for her because she lives alone and fell. Within the first week of wearing it, the EMTs showed up at her door three times in response to the alarm. She said she never pushed the button. It seems like the device was too sensitive.

I have been very happy with Bay Alarm Medical service. I am currently laid up with a broken leg/foot and unable to bear weight on my leg. So there was some concern with my family as to what would happen if I fell since I live alone. My son set up the service for me. I have accidentally called them a couple of times but their customer service department has been very patient and concerned for me when I do. They check on me to make sure I am ok. When I pushed the button for a true emergency one day, they had the emergency responders at my house within minutes! They are very professional and caring in the customer service department. I would highly recommend Bay Alarm Medical for anyone who lives alone or is elderly.

I found that most medical alarm outfits have misleading advertising. Bay Alarm wasn't as bad as some, but it says there is free equipment rental. Then when you make your order, you find out that if the equipment falls and breaks, it costs an exorbitant fee, much more than the simple equipment costs, I'm sure, to replace it. So I had to buy replacement insurance. There might have been another added fee, I can't remember - I just remember it being more expensive than advertised. And I had to buy both the pendant and the wrist piece - other companies give you both so that if the user has problems with one, you can use the other. When we tried out the system, it worked fine.

Do not use Bay Alarm. Their customer service is horrible and their device is not reliable for their medical alert system. We purchased a subscription for my father, who lives alone, a couple of years ago after he had a fall in his home. Several weeks ago my father passed out and hit his head and hurt his shoulder. He was unable to get up and repeatedly tried to activate neck lanyard. The device never worked. Luckily my brother-in-law found him after several hours. After calling 911 and attending to my father, he also tried to activate the neck lanyard and it did not activate. Only after pressing the button on the unit did it activate. Then the neck lanyard did work.
Several days later, as my father was hospitalized, I tried to activate the system using the neck lanyard. It again did not work. Their tech support was able to re-sync the neck lanyard but was unable to explain why it became un-synced. After being transferred to customer service and speaking to an agent and a supervisor I was unable to get any help. The supervisor Lynetta was particularly difficult and refused to listen to or acknowledge my concerns. They refused to send a new unit and neck lanyard. They refused to acknowledge the system did not work. They refused any type of refund for the trouble. Lynetta had the nerve to say "he could have pushed the button on the main box". If he could have gotten to the box he could have gotten to a phone. Terrible customer service. Don't risk your loved ones lives with this company.

I cancelled my Bay Alarm Account early this year because I thought I needed the fall detection necklace, which at that time, Bay Alarm did not have. At the time I cancelled, I did not know that I would lose the money that I had paid for the rest of the year. However, it was my own fault for not reading the whole agreement or asking what happened if I cancelled before my contract was up. Well, it turns out that I really didn't need the fall detection at this time, so I decided to go back to Bay Alarm because their prices were better than the company I was with. When Kala told my situation to her managers, they gave her permission to give me 3 months free service since I had given up so many months of paid service when I transferred. They didn't have to do that, but I did appreciate it so very much. I will be staying with Bay Alarm. They are also very polite and considerate when you call to speak with them.

It has been approximately three weeks since I paid for my Mother's yearly service and ordered a replacement wristwatch remote for my 90-year-old Mother. I ordered the replacement wristwatch remote due to warnings from your company that the battery was low and that the Unit MUST be replaced. My Mother, by the way, is totally dependent on her pacemaker and must have remote ability to request assistance in an emergency. I called a week or so ago since my Mother had not received the wristwatch remote replacement, and was told the wristwatch remotes were not available, were back ordered, and there was no date when they could be expected. I was not told they were unavailable when I paid the bill.
Again, I had not been contacted by anyone at your company to tell me the replacement was not available. It has still not arrived. Three weeks after it was ordered, and now 5 weeks after it needed to be replaced due to low battery warnings. I just called your company again, and again, I have been told "not available, back ordered, no idea when you'll get more." I have been told no other button or remote will work with the model sold to my Mother. There is apparently no solution being offered by your company. So, apparently she is going to be without the protection that per your contract, you are obligated to provide. I am calling back tomorrow to speak with a Supervisor. This is unacceptable.

Customer service representative, Kayla, was fantastic! She walked me through the steps to set up the system, answered all my questions and was very warm and patient throughout the process. I would highly recommend her. My only note would be to remind service reps that the terms and equipment are unfamiliar to a first-time user and thus, cannot take for granted that a customer would necessarily know what terms you are referring to (especially since rep may have done this hundreds of times). For example, the term for the help box...is it console, unit, box? And the terms for the wearable buttons? It might be worth updating the set up instructions to include pictures and terms of these as well (they are not listed).

Asked if we could cancel membership and get a pro-rated refund... Was told we could not... But we could transfer it to someone else who could use it??? Ummm... Not helpful. Asked if we had not yet signed the hard copy of the paperwork agreement. Were we still bound to it... Was told yes because of "section 5" that we had checked online. Asked for a copy of that... Was told it could not be given out. Also instructed to return all equipment by end of 6 month paid period. Rep was "upbeat and positive." She tried to give me all answers that I requested, although she seemed a bit stumped with some and had to put me on hold to research, and talked over me at times, but I believe that may have something to do with the phone system as there seemed to be a "delay."

Bay Alarms explained their cancellation policy and my issue is resolved.
Original Review: July 2, 2015
The alarm worked well for my mother, the problem that I had was with the billing. I am the one who set up getting this for my mother, my bank account was the one being drafted. I called to find out about returning the system as my mother is moving to be closer to me and they emailed my mom with a cancellation notice and said when she needed to return the system. My mother went ahead and returned the system so I didn't have any additional charges.
I called today to see when they would be issuing a credit for the 2 months. They told me they do not prorate and won't reimburse me for the unused months. Had they contacted me since it is MY BANK ACCOUNT and I set this up instead of contacting my elderly mother who didn't understand, she would of continued to have the alarm until she moved. I now have my mother living 3 hours away, in a rented house where she knows nobody with no alarm that I already paid the monthly fee for. WATCH THEM IF YOU NEED TO CANCEL. They are not consumer friendly, only worry about collecting money.

I pay for this service for my my mother and pay once yearly. Long after signing with Bay alarms, I was sent a follow up "agreement" which I should have read. I did not see that they had auto deducted a 1 year fee on the 20th of May. I have been planning to move my mom in with me for months. I called on the 6th of June to tell them I needed to go on a month to month since she will be moving in with me in the next couple months.
They are keeping my money!!! They only offered to reduce me to a 6 month premium. I was a couple days past the new "agreement" terms. Now I've read the small print and it seems I've given them the ability to do whatever they want with my credit card. I'm an idiot!!! I am furious. If you don't watch your bank account daily, the new agreement they "require" you to sign is all for their benefit. You must notify them 30 days before the end of a prior agreement or they get to charge you for another year. What if God forbid she had died?? They still get to charge you and keep it! I FEEL SCAMMED. Do not sign up!! They will keep your money too like me.

My family and I are much more comfortable knowing I have the medical alarm in the event I need medical help and no one is at home. Luckily we have not needed it for an emergency as of yet. Your staff is always courteous and helpful and the ease of setting up the system and testing is very simple. Thank you for being there when I need assistance.

Wow, ** worked with me and resolved an issue on your warranty coverage as it is very confusing as shown on your Service Agreement. Then we worked through testing of all my new agreement. In each and every test of the Main Unit, the pendant and the GPS she stayed with me on my cell phone and assisted me with the process. Once again your people are demonstrating that I made the right decision to go with Bay Alarm Medical.

** in Accounting worked with me to resolve an incorrect Quarterly Charge that turned out to be an error with the AAA discount. Her persistent to get to the root cause of the problem was outstanding. She did not give up until she resolved and emailed me the correct Agreement. If her commitment to service and customer satisfaction is an indicator of what I can expect in the future, My decision to go with Bay Alarm Medical was truly the correct decision.

I was delighted with the professionalism and kind consideration given to me while deciding on your medical security system. I liked the ease with which I received information on your website; the videos were succinct and well done. By the time I browsed your site I was ready to purchase your system. ** was attentive and professional. Her expertise was impressive. So far this experience exceeded my expectations and if your system is as good as the purchasing, I'll be thrilled.
Updated on 08/02/2015: My experiences, from the initial contact through the installation of the Bay Alarm Medical Alert System, have been pleasant and positive. The equipment arrived when expected; the packaging was easy to open and install. What a surprise! I was equally impressed to find that Bay Medical immediately recognized who I was when I called the first time for a "test run" of the equipment and my installation. To the person, everyone at Bay Medical has been professional, helpful and courteous. I couldn't be more pleased.

My children signed me up with Bay Alarm on 12/18/12 after I had several falls. I have been happy with the service and have had no problems. Since I wear the alarm on a chain on my neck, I have occasionally bumped it by mistake and Bay has promptly responded quickly. Will keep using it!!

I took a fall and broke my femur. At the time I did not have an emergency alert system. I had to drag myself to the phone and dial 911. The emergency workers had to force the door. I purchased the medical alert upon my return home. The system was very easy to install and test. I also purchased a lock box for the front door. I feel much more secure knowing that help is a click away. Excellent service!
