    Last August, my wife and daughter went on a day trip leaving me alone. I tripped on the step outside and could not get up. After an hour of crawling in the grass and several attempts to get the neighbors attention, I remembered my wrist alarm. Within 5 minutes, the rescue team was running through the house and found me in the back yard exhausted, hot and shaken. It is such a comfort to know it works and I don't have to fear being left alone.

    My two sisters and I purchased the Bay Alarm Medical system for our parents. They are now 83 years old and get along amazingly well. However, Mom has fallen a few times and we all breathe a little easier knowing that if she needed help, it's just a button push away. The system setup was very smooth. The initial test call was welcomed by a very cordial and professional operator. She took plenty of time with Mom and Dad to answer all of their questions. Our parents were very pleased with their experience and were glad to see that the system is so easy to operate. We bought the long-range option and it worked all the way to the mail box ... over 200 feet away! Thank you, Bay Alarm Medical, for your product and professional support. We appreciate you!

    We had to turn off the alarm system in order to transit the pacemaker data. After completing our monthly emergency alarm test, we attempted to transmit the pacemaker data across the same telephone line. The emergency alarm system appeared to be interfering with the pacemaker transmission, so we were directed by the pacemaker technician to provide notice to you or our intent to turn off the alarm system and retest upon completion. Everyone was very professional, courteous and caring.

    Bay Alarm Medical Alert System - I spoke with the customer service rep on two separate occasions before making my decision to purchase. She was very patient with my questions and provided detailed and easy to understand information. The unit arrived within five business days and was easy to set up. I tested the unit from the farthest points of the house, including basement areas. I was surprised how well the signal was received from the farthest points of the property boundaries. Thank goodness there has been no emergency yet. But I am glad I invested in this unit.

    I just want to say, "Thanks Bay Alarm." I've had the system for just two months and have not had the need to use it for an emergency yet. But just knowing you are there for me gives me a great sense of security. Once a month, I've given my Bay Alarm system a test, and to my amazement, in less than two minutes, an operator was responding to the alarm. Thanks again Bay Alarm.

    I was not able to set up the medic alert unit and called Technical Support. With their prompt assistance, they actually set it up for me via the telephone. The process was fairly quick and totally painless. I also wanted to fax the signed contract and contact information rather than mail the documents and hope that they were received in a timely manner. Customer service answered my questions about faxing the information and clarified the distance for the unit concern that I had, since I wanted to be sure that the button pushed in my garage would activate a call by the unit since the distance is about 275 feet, literally, one end of the house to the other end of the garage. Assistance was prompt, courteous, and professional.

    I ordered on 9/14/12 and my mother received it on 9/24/12 - wristband only, no lanyard or belt clip. Before I ordered, I asked about wearing lanyard with her medical alert necklace and was told it would not interfere. Computer site mentions pendant comes with interchangeable lanyard, wristband, and belt clip. I called on 9/24/12 and was told she would have it sent out, that Mom received a new model of alarm. On 10/2/12, I called again because Mom had not received the pendant and lanyard. I was told she would have it sent out. I said, “You were supposed to have it sent out on 9/25/12. Did it not get sent?” Yes, she said, but she would send out another.

    I told her to wait a few more days to see if it is received. I am disappointed. I thought she would be set up with the medical alarm about a week or so ago. I did send an email to the person I spoke with before I ordered it online. I left my phone number for her to call me, but she did not. I do have the names of the people I spoke with and the day and time. There is a 14-day period in which you can return it if not satisfied. I want that 14-day period to begin after we receive the pendant and lanyard. When Mom receives the correct pendant, she has to find a ride to the post office to return the wristband unit. She does not drive.

    Bay Alarm service is outstanding. When I became disabled from surgery, my sons who live across the country were very concerned about leaving me in my condo where I live alone. They insisted that I sign up for this service although I thought perhaps that it wasn't necessary! I immediately became much more comfortable remaining in my home, and my sons were more comfortable too. We tested the system and were amazed that the sound worked from the front of my condo all the way out the back lanai! I have tested the system regularly and am extremely pleased with the response from the Bay Alarm staff. I am grateful for the peace of mind Bay Alarm has given my family and me, and I am happy to wear the alarm button constantly. Thank you for your service and restoring our peace of mind!

The operators were very friendly and helpful while performing a test of the system.

    I purchased this system for my mother and it didn't work. We tried everything, even called them to walk us through it and no help whatsoever. I advised them that I will be returning the machine and to provide/send a UPS paid return label. They refused and all they kept enforcing was I would be charged $150 if I didn't return it versus showing concern for my mother's well being, given the fact that I didn't have a working machine. Needless to say, I had to pay $35 to return the machine after already being charged $37 for the first month. I disputed the charge with my bank and after Bay Alert received the machine back, they credited me 27 bucks. So they charged me $10 for a non-working machine.

    Just unreal! This is the kind of customer service working Americans have to deal with. I will never use any of their services. Needless to say, they pushed me to the competitor. Worst customer service ever.

    Purchased system for my father recently. He wanted to try using the pendant each way to see which he would prefer. The belt clip is not a secure clip. It pops off very easily. In order to use the pendant with the belt clip, we had to remove the lanyard. Once the lanyard is removed, it cannot be put back together. I called and had another lanyard sent. The lanyard we received must have been an older version. It was completely worthless. The clasp comes undone too easily. The wristband works well, but my father likes being able to change between the lanyard and the wristband. It seems the pendant could be modified so that it can be used easily in any of these three forms. Another thought... maybe the wristband could be a dual purpose watch?

    My 82-year-old mother had fallen and could not get up on her own. My father was in a nursing facility and my mother was alone in the house. I learned after the fact that she had to crawl to the phone and call 911, but then also had to direct paramedics on how to get into the house since the doors were locked. She was not hurt in the fall but it was a wake-up call to me and my brothers. I immediately did a research and selected Bay Alarm Medical. We have been very happy with the service ever since. My mother has used it only once, as a test, but carries it around with her all the time. It provides a sense of relief and confidence in case she does need to use it for a real emergency.

    My brothers and I decided it would be a good idea for our mother to have a medical alert device for her safety and our peace of mind when we couldn't be there. Bay Medical has provided that in an attractive, easy to use device. Although we hope she never needs to use it, we at least have some comfort that she will be cared for if there is an unfortunate emergency.

    I purchased the Bay Alarm Medical alert system for my mother who lives alone. At first she didn't want to use it, but now she just loves it and at 84, it gives her a sense of safety and security she didn't realize she was lacking. One time during a recent power outage, she was contacted by one of the nice operators from Bay Alarm Medical over the speaker device in her living room, just to see if she was OK. At first, she was startled by a "strange voice" in the house, but then she realized it was Bay Alarm Medical instantly checking on her well being. She laughs about it now, but was very impressed with the responsiveness and dependability of her Bay Alarm Medical system.

    Additionally, I have found the Bay Alarm Medical personnel that I have spoken with in the installation and testing to be outstanding and more than helpful with every contact I have had with them. My brother and I both live 160 miles from our mother and after the Bay Alarm Medical system was installed, we too have experienced the benefits of this monitoring. Thank you Bay Alarm Medical.

    Well, it took a while to convince my recently widowed Mom (80) that, while remaining in her own home was a wonderful option for her, the risk of having an unforeseen fall or other incapacitating event was too high without the 'safety net' of the remote alarm system. She's recently turned 81 and is the first one to praise the system, even though she hasn't been in a situation which necessitated its use, confirming how much safer she feels.

    Knowing she can have assistance a single click away has given her great peace of mind. The comfort level of the entire family with regard to Mum living on her own is significantly heightened by the presence of the small pendant around her neck. The fact that it's waterproof is the most important factor to her. Evidently she was more afraid of a fall in the tub than she ever let on.

    I'm in the process of getting my widowed Aunt a Bay Medical Alarm pendant for the same reasons. As with Mum, she's a bit resistant, but I'm sure she will realize the benefits of the system the minute she has it on. I know the rest of the family is extremely grateful to Bay Medical for quick purchase process, the ease of implementation and the tremendous sense of relief its presence has given us.

    We had a different company for my mother. They were difficult to deal with and one could not get a customer service person online (and when you emailed you got an auto-response telling you to call). When they doubled their rates at renewal time (we pay annually), we were shocked so we started shopping. Our needs are fairly simple so we called/emailed/etc. Bay Alarm medical staff answered all of our questions on the phone and via email. They did this kindly and promptly. Enrollment was very easy and we are delighted with the very limited customer service needs we have had since. We check the alarm once a month and everyone is so prompt and friendly.

They are excellent and very professional and I truly appreciate their efforts and personal interest. Also, paying by the year makes my monthly bill about $20 a month.

    My dad died earlier this year leaving my Mom alone after sixty one years of marriage. She was released from the hospital on the afternoon of January 18th and my Dad had died at 4:10 that morning; she didn't get the chance to say good bye. Her grief took over completely - she was weepy all the time, forgetful, confused and all the while losing weight and becoming weaker. I was scared for her. I was also left scrambling to take care of her, her finances, my business, the death announcement, thank you cards, the nursing home, the mortuary, death certificates, benefactor insurance coverage, life insurance policies, MediCal, plus everything that was happening in my own life as well.

    I wanted her to be safe, and most importantly I wanted her to feel safe and loved so I started getting information. I asked friends, doctors and colleagues and then I chose you, Bay Alarm Medical, for my peace of mind. You were the most economical medical alarm system out there (when paying annually), your website was easy to navigate through, your product arrived when expected and the set-up took less than ten minutes after reading the instructions. We have had a couple of 'heart-palp' situations but that calm voice came over the unit and Mom was able to relay what was happening. Now that's what I'm talking about!

    Mom is now back to her ole self and I'm so very proud of the progress she's made on her own. She continues to wear the device around her neck and we can both breathe easy in knowing she's not alone. Thank you for your product and exemplary service. You actually do what you say.

The paramedics were loading my mother into the ambulance when I got to my house. They gave me a rundown of my mother's injuries (I am a nurse) and the next plan of action.
