    The system seems great when it is needed. My mother needed assistance and EMS was at her apartment within 20 minutes to help her. 2 weeks ago she pressed her button by accident. Someone from Bay Alarm was on the box asking if she needed assistance. My Mother said there was so much background noise and people yelling at Bay Alarm that the operator could not hear her. She repeatedly shouted into the box that it was a false alarm and got no response from the operator. EMS was called, relatives were notified and all for nothing.

    After many hours of research on the internet, we chose Bay Alarm Medical over all the rest. They had the features we needed for my 83-year-old mother and an affordable payment plan. After a few installation hiccups (totally on our side), we performed a test and the rep we talked to was professional and courteous. She also verified the contact information we had provided. She graciously complied when I asked her if I could move around the house to make sure she could be heard by my mother if she was in need. If you are looking for a system for your loved one, I would highly recommend Bay Alarm Medical.

    While I was in the hospital recovering from surgery that would severely limit my mobility and balance, the Discharge Planner, upon learning I lived alone, recommended the major national brand of medical alert system. Since I had internet access, I did research right from my hospital bed. A search revealed all the major national and local companies in the field, and I took a close look at company websites as well as independent review sites. Bay Alarm immediately stood out as the preferred choice, since my need will be temporary. Comments by others indicated that the major national chain would subject one to incessant marketing once they had an email address or phone number. They also required a contract, which Bay Alarm does not. Finally, Bay Alarm's monthly rate matched the other company and the range of their unit was superior. I signed up on the day of my discharge, and the unit arrived at my doorstep in two days. Installation was simple and I am now fully protected for as long as I need with a minimum of fuss. I would recommend Bay Alarm to anyone.

    The system works just as advertised and the pricing is fair compared to other companies. My mom fell the other day and couldn't remember she had the pendant on so the system was of no use.

    This is the only system I have used like this. The system itself seems okay, although luckily, we have not had to use it. The customer service is good but there does seem to be a lot of false signals that it is not working and then they were calling my mother, even though I was listed as the contact. This was very confusing for her. They eventually stopped calling her and called me when it came to technical difficulties.

    The system has not functioned satisfactorily since we purchased it and we do not plan to renew when the annual subscription expires. The speaker is either poorly designed or poorly manufactured, and it distorts the Bay Alarm attendant's voice so badly that it cannot be understood at all. We are unable to communicate properly with the attendant, which is the purpose of the system. Because the attendant cannot reach us, the attendant invariable has to call us to confirm an emergency or a test. This can lead to false alarms. Our parent is so uncomfortable with the system that she is unwilling to even test the system on a regular basis as I have asked her to do.

    After repeated complaints to technical support and customer service, we have given up. We will ride out the subscription and replace it at the annual anniversary. We would not recommend the system at all.

    When dad passed away in February, we knew we needed extra care for mom. She has some medical disabilities (uses a walker) and cannot do steps. She will not leave her home, so the next thing was an alert. We searched the internet and came across Bay Medical. It was easy and fast to order, and was delivered within 2 days. Easy to set up and the operators were fantastic!! Mom had a storm that took out the electric and she was afraid that her alert would not work. She called Bay Medical and was assured that it had battery backup and would still be usable without power. That made her feel very safe.

    We have now moved to AZ and are minutes away, but still feel very safe keeping the alert for her. I know she feels comfortable wearing it. She has bragged to all her lady friends how her son and daughter-in-law bought this for her safety. Thanks Bay Alarm Medical.

    After much research, I purchased two alert necklaces from Bay Alarm Medical for my aging parents. After testing the alert system to make sure the necklaces worked and the system was plugged in correctly, I was more than satisfied that I made the right choice. Less than 20 seconds after the buttons on the necklaces were pressed, a voice was heard from the receiver asking if help was needed. Not only was the person we spoke with pleasant and professional, he was patient and attentive. I feel much better knowing that my parents will have this extra help if they ever need it.

I cancelled the subscription and they told me before they cancel, I had to send the unit back. Fine, I am. They then said I cannot get a refund (since I am paid until July) because of an early return. That is over $50. They are not providing a service for these two months yet they are still charging. This is not good business. It is a ripoff. My mom is 91 years old and money is tight. I want everyone to know what a company this is. I was a loyal customer for two years. One time my mom fell and the unit did not work. She was on the floor for three hours. They said it was my fault because I did not check the unit monthly. This is a disgrace.

Thankfully, Mom wasn't injured - her pride took the largest blow.

    I was happy when I called to set the unit up and also when I had to switch her address, the employee was very helpful. The first unit was shipped, but sent to the wrong address. I called Bay Alarm, and they were helpful and sent another unit. In the meantime, the original showed up so I returned that unit. The family member feels safer having this unit available. I called on a Sunday and someone did return my call and helped me with the unit.

    Just days after installing your system and testing it with your company, my wife accidentally set off her system by lying on it. She received a call within 10 seconds of her accidental alert from Bay Alarm Medical. They asked her if everything was OK, and she reported the accidental set off. Better yet, later that night, Bay Alarm Medical called her again by phone to make sure she did not need anything. Great service.

    I needed help on trying to figure out how to change my wall mount from the red and white plate on it to the neutral color plate. I set the unit off trying to do it myself. I called but will not go into what I went through until I was able to reach Rachel. She actually got the same part and we went through everything. And we went over and over until we both decided that she would send me a new one with the neutral plate already installed. With her total caring and wanting to help a frustrated customer especially with her quiet and non-frustrated voice, she made a new customer a permanent customer. I have had some real nasty customer service people, ha, service jerks. Rachel deserves any type of appreciation that you are allowed to deliver to/for her. Being 69 years old, we say things today that are not supposed to be said today not politically correct, of which I said some but I do not care. She deserves thank you no matter how it is said. Thank you, Rachel.

    I purchased a monitoring system for my 97-year-old mom so that she can call for help if she should happen to fall when I'm at work or out grocery shopping or doing other errands. The system was easy to install. It just needs to be plugged into a phone jack and also into an electrical outlet. A test is then run to determine that the equipment is up and running. A trial is made by pressing the "alarm" button on the console and again by pressing on the button worn around the neck. In each case, the call was answered promptly and courteously and it was confirmed that our system was in proper working order. We also completed a form with details of my mother's medical condition so that any responders would readily have that information. This information is also posted in a prominent place (usually refrigerator door) so it is readily available to anyone having to come to the house in answer to an emergency.

    Thankfully, Mom has not had to use the "call" button yet, but we are pleased with the ease of installation and response when testing the equipment.

    I used your customer service to choose the equipment. They were kind and helpful. My mom received her equipment a couple of months ago. It was easy to set up. She tested the device and it was very clear what she should do if she pressed the button. When she did press the button, she understood the directions and the person was friendly. She received both the wrist and the necklace model and she was comfortable with both.

    The alert system seems to be good, but I am on the second lock box and I can't get either of them to work. They did answer my first complaint quickly and sent a new one. Unfortunately, I will have to call again. The instructions for setting up the lock boxes do not seem to match the box. Items don't work the way it says and a piece they mention on the second box isn't even there.

    We decided to get a medic alert system after my mom fell and fractured her arm. She received the unit quicker than expected even to Hawaii. Although the instructions for setting up the unit was missing from the box, I called customer service and one was emailed to me immediately. When we tested the unit and monitor, the operators were cordial.

    My niece and her husband come over to set up the unit when it arrived. During the testing and a subsequent alarm (by accident), the people who responded over the call box were helpful and courteous. It gives me great peace of mind to know help is so easy to get. I am 81 years old and recovering from a recent hip replacement. My doctor suggested I get an alert system. After researching the various companies, I found that Bay Alarm Medical was the best.

    I was not able to immediately set up my alarm system upon arrival. Bay Medical called me in a few days to find out why I was not online yet, if I had received it and if I needed help. They walked me through setting it up and testing it out. I was impressed with the level of customer service.

    My 93-year old mother's unit went off in the middle of the night for 2 consecutive nights. She was scared out of her wits by this. I called the company and the representative instructed me on how to reset the unit and explained that there may have been an interruption in power that set it off. It has worked fine since resetting it. My mother is doing fine and now knows that she can call anytime she has questions.

    I bought a personal home medical alert system. Set up only took a few minutes. When I called in to check to see if service was hooked up properly, they were very helpful. The system was purchased for my mother who was hesitant, but she now loves having the protection. Ordering this product online was very easy, and an 800 number is set up if you have any questions.

    We have only had the need to test the system and the person on the other end of the phone was helpful and friendly. On one occasion, Bay Alarm called to advise that the system wasn't charging, and sure enough it had gotten unplugged. That bracelet seems comfortable and we like that it is waterproof.

    I ordered this system for my mother who recently fell and broke her hip. She could not get help for 3 hours until someone came home to their condo. If she had Bay Alarm, help would have been there in minutes instead of hours. So my mom came home from rehab yesterday and I set the system up in less than a minute. It took less than 5 minutes to test the system. It is extremely easy to work even if you have no experience with cell phones or computers. You have help at the press of a button. That's easy.

The testing, to be sure that everything worked, was very comforting and reassuring for my mother. We tested the base unit, pendant, and wristband; everyone was happy to take the call and complete the test.

    The plan was the best experience. It was inexpensive, and the people have been easy to work with. The only con is that it is hard to hear me from some of the rooms in my home. That is of some concern to me. I would also wish the alarm button was a little bit smaller. I don't like to wear the necklace because I cannot wear my other necklaces, and so I wear it on my wrist.
