    I spoke with John about returning the GPS part of my system. In the process of powering down the GPS, I misunderstood and pushed the base help button which took me to Help. While speaking to the Help person, John called me on my cell phone (landline was tied up) and had me power down properly. He gave me clear and specific instructions for the return and told me to expect an email with a new service agreement to sign.

    We had first experience with alarm requiring dispatch of EMS. ALL went well except we didn’t recognize the phone number Bay Alarm Medical calls from (both my sister and I rejected call). It would be helpful if you tell new customers to put that phone number in their phone as a contact so The number will be recognized. These days we get so many political and soliciting calls that hardly anybody answers calls They don’t recognize. Other than that issue it went perfectly and I’m very pleased. On another note I had to call and order a new cord for my mom‘s button because she bled all over the old one. I was on hold for 25 minutes. That’s a long time. The operator was helpful though. I give you three stars. Thank you.

I can say that the company in Utah and Idaho are excellent, but getting to Bay Alarm is terrible, they transfer to Bay Alarm and sometimes disconnected after waiting with no human contact. Today I tried again, your answering service was prompt and even took my # if we were disconnected. Today I got an answer at Bay Alarm and after 9 minutes I was informed I was 14 in line.

    I ordered the Bay Alarm Medical Alert system for my mom in December 2019. The packaging was great and the instructions were clear and easy to understand. It took about a minute to set up and then we tested the system with great response. The next day, I completed the paperwork and forms for any first responders— who to contact, how to get into the house, etc. I decided to mail my paperwork with instructions to the Bay Medical team and first responders instead of faxing or emailing.

    The Bay Alarm Medical paperwork was clear that until they received the instructions from me, they had no liability in taking action on any calls. Unfortunately, my mom fell within a couple days of connection, she pressed her neck device and was too far away to hear a representative on the speaker. The response agent didn’t have my instructions and still called 911 for an ambulance and my mom was taken to the emergency room. I was highly impressed with the system and the process and have already recommended it to an elderly neighbor and to my friends and family on social media. Thank you for what you do!

    Really excellent device, reliable, easy to use.

I was able to subscribe remotely, everywhere I lived, to manage the account on her behalf, even after I moved to Israel, via Skype. The customer service was great. My friend was losing mobility, and had many scary falls, but always wore her button as a necklace, and each time, it summoned some strapping, handsome firemen to rescue her, to get her to the hospital, even in the middle of the night.

    Eventually, I had to cancel, as my friend moved to a full care facility that has their own call system. I worried about the expense of buying the equipment as part of my cancellation, as from my home abroad, I could not go to Colorado to return my friend's device by mail. They told me I could leave it there, and my prorated payment return would cover the cost. Not ideal to have to buy it rather than mail it back, but considering my particular long-distance situation, it was a great option to resolve the problem. This device saved my friend from what would have been several traumatizing and dangerous situations, helping her know that she was not alone, and that guardian angels were just a button press away.

    We received a medical alert for my mother in May. As of today, November 11, 2019 she got a warning that her battery was low. When I called the company, the first agent stated it was at Point 1 but she did not know if that was the necklace or the base unit. She transferred me to another section and I was told it was her necklace. I asked about a replacement battery and I was informed that the necklace and base unit are factory sealed and cannot be opened by the consumer. However a courtesy necklace would be mailed out to my mother since this is her 1st time but in the future the cost will be $49.99 plus $12 shipping.

    I asked the life time of the battery and he said 1 1/2 years. I reminded him my mother only had her equipment for just over 5 months. The agent stated it might have been a defective battery. I told him that I should not have to use my courtesy necklace on a defective piece of equipment so he stated he will send out a necklace to replace the defective one free of charge and I will still have a courtesy necklace if needed in the future. I also asked him why the charge for a replacement necklace and he stated the policy was changed a couple of months ago to charge consumers for replacement necklaces.

    I chose Bay Alarm Medical because after researching 8 other companies as they were the least expensive and nothing was mentioned about replacement cost. I asked the agent if customers were grandfathered in and he said no, everyone pays a replacement cost. So in essence, $62 to replace a little component. Not a good way to do business and treat your customers.

    When I first received my alarm I was told not to leave the unit in the charger for more than 3-4 hours or the battery will go bad. Everything else I have (cell phone, portable phone, tooth brush) stays in the charger forever with no problem. I didn't understand why I couldn't do the same with the alarm device. I called back and was told it wasn't true, I COULD leave the unit in the charger with no time limit without a problem.

    Now the battery did go bad, and I'm told it was because I left the unit in the charger too long. 1) You people can't agree on how the thing works among yourselves. 2) How come things like my portable phone stay in the charger all day and night for over ten years and the batteries are still fine? (along with all other devices I have.) What am I supposed to do? Baby-sit the thing while it's charging? When I tried to test the thing I got NO response from Bay Alarm, but I did get the ambulance at my door. (There is a $500 charge for ambulance service.) Why didn't BayAlarm call me on the unit like they are supposed to or call my phone? Not pleased at all!

She laid for over two hours pressing the button and there was no response! When I arrived I pressed it another twenty minutes and nothing. What's worse is how they responded to our complaint. On the phone all they would say is, "send it back to us" or they'll keep charging us for it. After that they wouldn't answer emails, texts or letters. They did send a letter threatening more charges if we didn't return it by a certain date, no apology or explanation or offer of at least a refund.

    You are still on the hook for the equipment. You can get 'insurance' for an additional $5/month, which covers equipment replacement once per year. With that they send you an electricity surge protector, but it does not protect a surge on the phone line. My mother's equipment was damaged (likely by a surge on the phone line since she had a surge protector on the electric outlet). The whole swap-out took a very long time but eventually Bay Alarm sent her a new agreement (she did it by snail mail rather than e mail, which extended the delay). This new agreement included insurance this time (in addition to the regular monthly charge) and they did NOT charge her for the damaged equipment. After they received the agreement in the mail they had UPS generate a return label for the old equipment. For some reason, this took UPS/Bay days to generate, even though it was all electronic. When Bay received the old unit via UPS, they sent out a new unit. I hooked it up last night. We tested it, and it did take several rings for the operator to answer

    Original Review: July 23, 2019

    We bought the land-line base station and pendant service a little over three years ago. We put it on our own surge protector and did not opt for the $50/year insurance. It stopped working the other day, and they tell us we owe $200 for the base station. Be warned. Here are the {not so great} terms of Bay Alarm's equipment insurance from their website: "We offer a Warranty Protection Plan that you can purchase, which includes a complimentary surge protector and a one-time replacement of your medical base station OR device (Mobile GPS, In-Car Device) per calendar year. For lost or damaged accessories, the warranty will cover 50% of its replacement value. Call us at 1-877-522-9633 for more information."

    Hi there! We see your case has been resolved as our Customer Care team was able to assist you promptly. Because the equipment is leased, we have an optional warranty for customers that will cover any damage (i.e. water, dropped and broken, lost, etc.) It is optional, so that is up to the customer. If there are any damages outside of manufacture issues and there us no warranty, there is an equipment replacement fee because it is leased. We are sorry to hear about your frustration and will take your feedback to our team. Should you have any questions, please give our customer care team a call. Thank you!

    Monitor goes off even when I carefully set it down. Tech advised me to hang it. It did not go off one time when I actually fell. Tech explained that it will usually wait about 50 seconds and since I got up within 10 seconds, it did not need to go off.

    Hi Mary - Thank you so much for your review and feedback. We are sorry to hear about your recent fall, but we are glad you are okay! Just to clarify, the Fall Detection button will detect a fall and send an alert if there is no movement for 15 seconds, not 50 seconds. It is also important to note that the FD necklace has a push-button built into the middle that you can and should definitely press if you are conscious and able to during an emergency. You do not HAVE to wait for FD alert to go off, if you fall and can press the button, then please definitely press the button for help. I hope this information helps! Again, thank you so much for your feedback. Please give us a call if you have any further questions. Take care!
