    My relatives tried to move the base of system for my mother. By accident, he touched the alarm button. The operator called immediately. However, for some reason, it was difficult to get the real situation. Then Bay Alarm Medical decided to send corresponded people to my mother's location. They went there very quickly. Even though, they found it was an accident, they still talk friendly. Very good service.

    My grandpa has been using the system I got him for about three months now and we have both been quite happy with our purchase. He was hesitant at first about the whole idea at first but after I finally convinced him that it was more for my peace of mind than it was for him he finally got on board. He was also very hesitant about the wristband button that I got for him because he thought he would be accidentally pushing the button all the time. He has only pushed it on accident once and I showed him that it was no problem.

    If he wants to push it every day just to test it out, he can! If they can't get a hold of you through the speaker box then they call the people on the contact list. So far, the system has been working out quite well for us. We both like the extended range of the remotes because my grandpa is still quite active and ventures out of the house to tinker on his projects! I would recommend this system.

    We have had to rely on Bay Alarm 2 times in the past 2 years when mom fell. They were so reliable and efficient. We also had to exchange the battery once and that was perfect. The new one came within a day. Mom calls monthly to check in with Bay Alarm and those that answer the call are wonderful, polite and very friendly. Mom likes that. I have recommended Bay Alarm to 4-5 other teachers in my school who have elderly parents. They are completely satisfied also. The price is very reasonable also. I could not ask for anything to be better. Thanks everyone for giving me peace of mind with my mom! WE love you!!!!!

    We have not really had a need to call for help. Yet it does give us peace of mind to know we have the ability to request assistance should the need arise. Having the system has made us more aware of being cautious in other ways. We have installed a hand rail on our front steps and keep our bracelets either on our wrists or near enough to reach. Our daughter ordered the system for us, so I am not able to rate the ordering process.

    I, too, did considerable research before ordering the Bay Alarm Medical alert system for my 86 year old mother. The price is reasonable, the customer service personnel were very helpful. The equipment arrived quickly. I'm sure the equipment would have been easy to set up, as this was the second system I have ordered, and the instructions looked exactly the same as the first. Before removing the system from the box, I read through the accompanying paperwork.

    The Service Agreement (which must be signed and returned before any monitoring begins) contains the following language in Part 4: "You further understand that we may be negligent in providing the service and may fail to properly respond to the receipt of a request for assistance, notification or signal from the system . . ." To me this sounds like I am obligated to pay for a service Bay Alarm is not obligated to provide. I sent the system back immediately ~ because you only have until midnight on the 14th day after delivery to cancel, or you are on the hook for the price of the equipment, as well as any monitoring fees you have prepaid.

    Dear Jill,

    Thank you for taking the time to write a review about our company. We’re glad that you found our customer service team to be helpful, and the ordering process to be fast and easy.

    We can certainly understand your concerns about Section 4 of the Service Agreement. Although we have never had any issues where we were negligent in providing service, this is standard verbiage for a monitoring contract. This is a standard clause that you’ll likely find in any other monitoring company’s contracts as well.

    If you would like to try out our system, we would be glad to offer you an extended trial period of 60 days. If you feel that the system won’t work satisfactorily for you, you can return it to us by 6/2/14 for a full refund.

    If this would be acceptable for you, please contact us at (877)522-9633 at your earliest convenience so that we can update your account.

    Our business hours are from Monday through Friday 6:00am - 6:00pm PST, and 8am - 4pm PST Saturday through Sunday. If you have any further concerns or questions, please don’t hesitate to give us a call so that we can address your needs properly. Again, that number is (877)522-9633 and we'll be glad to assist you.

    Your review means a lot to Bay Alarm Medical and we would like to assist you in order to enhance your relationship with our company.

    I was not satisfied using the Bay Alarm Medical System. When I ordered the device, I explained I was in and out of the house and not home bound. This device is best for older inactive people who are home bound. However, I was led to believe otherwise. Because I could not use the system, I returned it. I did not hear from Bay Alarm Medical and called about a refund since I had paid for a year upfront and I had five remaining months after I returned the device. I was told there was no refund on unused time. This was never explained to me when I signed up for the year.

    A test period should be offered to all customers since there is no way a business can determine over the phone your physical abilities. Lacking that, sign up for a month or two. It will cost less in the long run. Beware of a company that does not refund money for time unused. My recommendation is to look elsewhere for a medical alarm device and make sure you have a test period with refund available for unused time.

    As to your concern over the button not having a speaker, the reason it doesn't is because it's 100% waterproof and designed so that you can wear it all the time.

    The ordering process was fine but we're really disappointed with the system's audio. It sounds like an old AM radio with a weak signal. I'm concerned my mom is not going to be able to understand the operator answering. I have trouble understanding the operators and I'm 25 years younger.

    Dear Sol,

    Thank you for writing a review about us! We appreciate that you took a moment out of your day to tell us about your experience.

    We're pleased to hear that the ordering process went smoothly for you. As to the sound quality on the base unit, we will add a note to your mom's account for the dispatchers to speak more softly and clearly when responding so there is less muffling.

    If you or your family should need any further help with anything, please feel free to give us a call at 1-877-522-9633, and we'll be glad to assist you.

    Was happy with the individual who took the order and helpful when it came to the equipment. Delivery was efficient and fast. Tested it immediately from different areas and the person at the other end of the monitor could hear and acknowledge. The ONLY think I wasn't too happy about is making out what the person's response was. It sounded like a scratchy radio program, not clear at all. That's the only reason for the 4 star.

    I would like to follow up on my negative review of Bay Medical on February 27, 2014. To clarify, I was never dissatisfied with the product or service. My problem began when the company refused any refund after we cancelled my dad's service 5 days after they charged us for a full year. I was contacted on March 11, 2014 by a representative from Bay Medical's consumer affairs resolution department, Carli, who told me they would refund my money less 1 month after they received the equipment back. I accepted this offer, telling her this is what I asked for in the beginning. The equipment was mailed back to them that same day. I have no doubt I will be getting my refund returned now. I appreciate Carli's help in resolving this matter.

    I had trouble with the wearable alarm button. Set it off accidentally 3 times. I had it on my arm and bumped it and set it off, then I pinned it on my waistband, bent over the washer and set it off, third time hit the monitor. Was ready to send it back. Took the elastic off, put a small ribbon on and now pin it to my bra strap and tuck the button into the bra. Now it is available to both hands and is safely tucked away and can't be hit accidentally. Would be nice if you came up with one that can go on the bra without a pin. Don't want it hanging around my neck and hated it on my arm.

    My family and I had been trying to have mother wear an alert for years now, as she am 102+, but she didn't want to have a necklace and felt she didn't need one. Last month she finally decided it was time IF she could wear it on her wrist. They purchased the system from BAY Alarm, and she now wears consistently. As she says, "I have forgotten it is even on. Hope I don't have to use it, but......"

    We have been a customer since February 2013. We were happy with the service. Bay medical supplied a much needed service for my dad, but currently, they no longer meet his needs and we need to terminate our contract. They say there is no charge to cancel BUT read the fine print. We signed up for the annual plan February 2013. In February 2014, we were charged for another full year. When conditions changed for my dad, we attempted to cancel and get a refund but were told they do not give refunds. This was only 5 days after we were charged for 2014. They are not willing to compromise or discuss any type of refund. This is robbery. I cannot recommend this company because of this. This is unethical business conduct.

    Our experience with Bay Alarm Company has been 5 star. From the beginning my telephone experience was stellar. I had the pleasure of speaking with a very knowledgeable gentlemen who immediately asked for a phone number in case we were disconnected so that he could call me back and not have to repeat any part of the process. The price was the best on the market, and the follow through even better. Everything needed arrived via UPS with easy hook up instructions followed by a phone call from my original contact to ensure that everything went well. One of the problems we had with our previous provider was as much as 7 minutes response time when the emergency button was pushed. Our longest wait time with Bay was 23 seconds. Great job. We highly recommend Bay.

I assume the price of good digital systems will come down and their quality will increase soon to keep up with technology advances. The staff was fairly helpful under the circumstances. They were friendly and patient... We took awhile to get our end in order due to my parents both being ill and my father going into the hospital at the time I initiated the purchase.

After numerous calls to the "tech" center, it was agreed that they would replace it. This system has not worked reliably and yesterday they called my 94 y/o father at 1 AM to inform him it wasn't working. I have called repeatedly about the unreliability of their system but predictably enough, the response has been unreliable.

They called me yesterday and apologized for misunderstanding. They said that they will refund the pro rated amount. They had A very quick response time.

    Original Review: Feb. 13, 2014

    When I contacted Bay Alarm Medical I called and asked them about their different programs such as monthly or 3 month or one year offer. The one year offer sounded more economical. But with respect to age of my mother (93 years) I asked the operator what happens if something happens to her or we do not need the service any more and she said it is no problem you can cancel the service and you will be refunded the prorated amount. After five or six month I returned the equipment and notified them that I do not need the service and waited for my refund. When I did not received anything from them I called and was notified the all sales are final. I said "but I was told otherwise." She said "sorry but that is how it is." I said "these systems are for old people that at any time they can leave this world. Why would I accept a one year contract when I know it can happen any day." They lied to me to get one year contract. I do not trust this company. Everyone should watch out for them.

    Before we send out any medical alert equipment to our customers, our technicians carefully test each piece to make sure it’s in proper working order. After the system is installed, we silently test it each week remotely on our end. If anything is not functioning properly, we are immediately notified.

    We recommend that our customers test their equipment monthly by pressing the emergency button on the pendant or the base unit to make sure it successfully connects to our emergency dispatchers.

    We received regular weekly test timers from your equipment from the day it was installed until the service was cancelled. Your system was operating correctly.

    Overall, I am pleased with the communications from your staff notifying me if there is a power outage, etc. however, when Mom used the button, and actually had an emergency, I am confused why police and the ambulance were called, but not "First Responders". The fire department would have been there in 5 minutes, versus 20 minutes for the ambulance because they dispatch from one location in town, which happens to be all the way on the other side of town.

    I would think if someone pushed the button, and you could not communicate with them through the base unit, this would be serious enough to warrant sending first responders who can radio for an ambulance if needed. Granted, she slipped, and could not get her feet under her, but I was halfway across town and beat both the police and the ambulance to her house! I would think the button being pushed and lack of response to the center trying to speak through the base unit would warrant a more urgent dispatch. Had this been a serious medical emergency, she would have had to wait a long time for help to arrive if I could not have gotten there. Am I missing something here?

    Bay Medical Alarm contacted me and we discussed the policy on refunds. They said my situation was unusual because the death of my wife was so close to when I signed up. They are going to refund the two of the three months money that I had sent them. I also suggested they try to make that policy more clear because I'm not the only person that has complained about it. I'm satisfied with the result.

    Ordered a medical alarm system for my wife from Bay Medical Alarm on 10/22/13. My wife passed away on 11/02/13. Paid in advance for 3 months service. Returned all equipment on 11/15/13. Asked for a refund for services not used for 2 months and was told they do not refund any money paid no matter how long you paid ahead for service. I said, "You mean if I had paid for 1 year in advance and my loved one passes away after 1 month, you wouldn't return ANY money?" They said "That's right, we do not refund any money no matter what." So if you choose Bay Medical, I advise to never pay more than 1 month in advance or you won't get it back!

We have asked her to do so, but I believe our 87-year-old needs some prodding or reminder from a Bay Alarm professional of the danger this poses to her well-being. Maybe tell her a true story.

Thinking everything was fine we were surprised to get a bill that showed we still owed for another entire year of service. I called and told the customer service person the story. She said that because we didn't return it before the due date starting the next year we still owed for the entire year. I asked to.talk to a supervisor or manager and was told there wasn't one there.

    Contacted your company several times to contact my dad to establish medical emergency service. Your attempt was by email. Not certain how, I told you he does not have an email account. You said you left him a phone message but no record of message. After several attempts we located someone else. Your loss for poor service.

    For starters, my Mother used Bay Alarm Medical for 1 year and they could never get the emergency contact sequence correct (Always calling the wrong person). After having the device hooked to the phone for a year we elected to get my Mother 24 hr in home care and had no more use for the device. Realizing that they had auto billed her for another year I immediately sent the device back to Bay Alarm. From there, I called to have a credit issued and was told it would be taken care of. After a few weeks of waiting no credit took place. I called again and was told that they don't issue credits. They could care less about the people they claim to help and seem to enjoy robbing the elderly!!!!!!!! DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY!!!!

    Updated review: Jan. 27, 2014

    I have to admit am pleasantly surprised this has been favorably resolved. Per the company's response to my complaint, I returned the equipment on 27 Dec 2013 (prior to the 10 Jan 2014 deadline), and after calling on 21 Jan to question where my refund was, received a check today ( 27 Jan 2014) for the balance of the year minus one month as promised. I do hope the service agreement information plans are changed to reflect the pros and cons of the payment methods available. Knowing what I know now the "monthly" rate may cost more up front but is a no-brainer if suddenly you no longer need the services for whatever reason.

    Original Review: Dec. 13, 2013

    My mother lives in an independent living facility that just contracted with a company to provide medical alert services to the building and its residents at a similar cost to Bay Medical but with added features - coverage in the entire building (not just her apt), GPS, and fall detection. While I had been happy with Bay Medical my mother does not like the volume on the call box (she has a studio apt) and can hardly understand what the person is saying. Because of that she is and has been uncomfortable with the system. Between that and the new system the building is installing I thought it would be desirable to switch to the new one.

    When I called to cancel the service I was informed that the payment (1 yr) had just been processed two days prior to my phone call, they don't have the returned equipment, and by the way is un- refundable. My impression of no contract means I can cancel any time as long as I return the equipment in working order. I was told the agreement is very clear and says that I would have to cancel and return the equipment BEFORE the 1 yr anniversary date of the signed agreement and there is NO refund as the 2nd yr has already been charged. I expected that I would have to pay for the month that just started but not for 11 more mos if I don't want the service and return the equipment in good working order. I was told it's very clear. I went back and IT'S NOT VERY CLEAR what it really means. I thought all the mumbo jumbo in the paperwork was more to protect Bay Medical from liability lawsuits due to possible slow response times or lack of response as well as them worrying about getting their equipment back from people who cancel service not because I chose to pay for a year in advance on a "no contract" plan that would result in not getting my mother's money back. I never read it that way.

    I asked "what if my mother died tomorrow?" the answer was the same - no refund...it's yours for the billed year. In effect you cannot really cancel the service at any time. No, you must let Bay Medical know you intend to cancel BEFORE they charge your credit card but once they charge it for anything - month, quarter, year - you got it. I NEVER would have signed up for a plan like that for an 86 yr old. I thought that the decrease in monthly payment amount was like car insurance - if you pay all at once you get a break. If you then cancel the car insurance you get a pro-rated portion back. The no refund part was NOT explained and to me is NOT clear in the paperwork when I opted for the yearly payment plan to simplify paying my mother's bills for her.

    Bay Medical needs to make it clear that there is a draw back to paying ahead (quarterly or yearly). That there is no refund of any kind - even 11 mos worth even when you return the equipment in good working order. You are stuck even if you are canceling service because the person you were protecting dies!!! That's NOT in keeping with the notion of no contract, no activation fees, no installation charges etc...the agreement/payment plans are misleading and in my humble opinion a SCAM and a RIP OFF. It is not the way most services I have ever dealt with work and I argue that most people would not realize the adverse effect of no refund as a result of paying in advance. Who in their right mind would pay for a year in advance for an elderly person if they knew this scam upfront? Consequences: No refund - I'm stuck with a system my mother does not want or need. I believe this is a scam and a rip off and am writing this in hopes of alerting others to not fall for this.

    Was contacted by Bay Alarm Medical and although they would not refund the payments they have been taking since July they did refund one payment and are sending me a return receipt for the equipment. Although this is not the full action I think should be taken they have sought to resolve this matter and I am calling it resolved. I am giving them three stars for taking the time to resolve this matter.

    Original Review: Nov. 29, 2013

    You are all a bunch of swindlers. My poor mother is getting charged monthly for a service that you do not even have hooked up for her. I ordered the system and then the senior citizen agency ordered their own and when I tried to get a return receipt from you because we cannot afford to pay the postage you would not help me. So you are billing my mother’s bank account and have overdrawn her a couple times for services you are not supplying. I have called three times and no one will help me return this equipment and I was told I would be charged until I returned the equipment. HOW are you charging here when you have never activated nor are you monitoring her in anyway? In fact you don't have her address or phone number. My phone number is **. Next week I will be going online to start blogging and reporting you until you settle this matter.

    I signed my father-in-law up for the service as he had fallen several times and his wife was in and out of the hospital so he was alone quite a bit. He never needed it when he was alone. My mother-in-law came home from the hospital and we got her a button too! They never took the wrist bands off! Sadly my father-in-law collapsed in October and knocked my mother-in-law down when she was trying to help him. She pushed her button and did not receive a response, she then pushed her husband's button and got no response!

    After a time, she managed to get to a phone and call 911 herself all the while her husband was laying unconscious. Sadly he passed away. We have canceled our service! It is a false sense of security and when you need it - it doesn't work! I am waiting to see if they stop the service as we requested.

    Response from Bay Alarm Medical

    Dear Shelly,

    We are so sorry for your loss. Dealing with the loss of a loved one is never easy.

    Thank you for notifying us of the experience your in-laws had so that we could investigate it.

    To ensure that our equipment is in complete operable condition, Bay Alarm Medical inspects and tests each alert unit before shipping it out to our customer.

    We researched the activity on your in-laws’ account and our records indicate that their system was in proper working order from the time it was installed in August of this year until it was cancelled in November. Their system sent in normal weekly test timers and Mr. and Mrs. Hickerson were able to connect to our emergency dispatchers successfully on multiple occasions.

    It is important to note that if the button is pressed once, it will initiate an emergency call to our facility. If it is pressed a second time while the system is trying to transmit a signal, this will cancel the emergency call that is being placed. This feature allows you to cancel a false alarm.

    On October 18, Mr. and Mrs. Hickerson’s system sent a signal to alert our facility of a power loss. Our emergency dispatchers immediately called the home to check on them and were told that Mr. and Mrs. Hickerson planned on unplugging the medical alert for an unspecified period. This would mean that the unit would not be able to send us a signal, even in the event of an emergency. We received a standard test signal from the system on October 26, letting us know that it was plugged back in.

    If the emergency button was pressed during the time that the system was unplugged, our facility would not have received a signal.

    The medical alert device was received at our office on November 25, 2013. The account is now closed and no further billing will occur. The service has been ended, per your request.

    If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call us at 1-877-522-9633.

    I hope I never need help from Bay Alarm Medical but if I do, it's nice to know they're there. Didn't expect to need their service (who does) but I'm mildly disabled with MS. While this is not good, it is not yet a problem. What is a problem is having a massive heart attack, needing to be resuscitated in the ambulance a few blocks from home en route to the hospital 30 miles away and waking up three months later in a nursing home. Didn't feel safe about going home without some program like Bay Alarm Medical. This is when I realized I'd need help.

    I did extensive online research of all programs available to me and found Bay Alarm the most suitable: They did not try to sell me more services than I needed.

    There was no hard sell techniques. And they had the best price around. They gave me a choice of a necklace or bracelet type button along with the desk monitor. The only way anyone would know I have this is the big red HELP on the desk button. They are very unobtrusive but I know they're there because I had some painters here and had to disconnect the monitor briefly. In a matter of minutes I received a call from Bay Alarm Medical to make sure I was alright.
