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!

We got the alarm necklaces and bedside Help button for our 88-year-old mother believing she was just a button push away from help. She fell in the kitchen and fractured her neck. 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. If you're entertaining the thought of this type of protection, shop elsewhere! We don't normally complain but our mother's life was at stake here!

Received message of low battery. Plugged in the charger and it did not work, could not recharge battery. Previously had received message "Your battery is now charging" when I tried to recharge, no problem. Didn't work this time. Called and rep on phone ordered new charger which will be put in mail on Monday and should be received Tuesday. I had alo signed request to remove fall detection, but today when just dropped the unit slightly on bed I received the alert that I had just called for help, when actually it was an accident. So it is still pretty easy for me to accidentally call for help - which would be embarrassing if I were somewhere like in church as the voice that answers is loud. My daughter wants me to have this device although I am not prone to fall easily or frequently. It is good to have it in the event that I would fall and could press the button.

Updated review: Aug. 14, 2019
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!

We requested someone who speaks Vietnamese call her, if possible, as I was told when I signed up for service you have staff who speaks many languages. Soon after Vanessa called and said they have no one that speaks Vietnamese.
My boyfriend said that's fine because my mother can speak English too. He said to please call her (Boi **) and test the unit and he asked someone to call me (Thao **) afterward, to let me know if the issue is resolved or if we have to return the unit.

I respect any effort toward consumer protection; however, I opened this account, I pay the bill, I have made 100% of the phone calls and emails about it's maintenance, etc. Never once has anyone spoken with my Grandmother regarding her unit, or requested to do so -- until today, when I was told a woman who barely knows her name must speak with a customer service rep to have a simple billing issue resolved.... for the bill that I pay.

If not for that, she would still be a customer. I had a question today with regards to turning in the home devices and Shauntee easily cleared things up for me. I would recommend Bay Alarm Medical to anyone considering this type of service. Reliable system and great support staff.
Hi Paul - Thank you for taking the time to review our customer service and services. Shauntee is so thrilled to hear from you and is happy to have provided assistance with your questions. We thank you and your mom for trusting in our team to be there for the past 3 years - your kind recommendation is greatly appreciated. Please do not hesitate to give us a call if there is anything else we can help with. All the best, Bay Alarm Medical

I started Bay Alarm Medical service for my elderly mom with the understanding that it can be cancelled at any time for a full refund of any unused time of service. On the website it clearly states such a policy. When she passed away I contacted Bay Alarm Medical requesting termination of a service no longer needed. Instead of cancelling it they made me keep the service for an additional month because they requested a death certificate to cancel. Had I known my mom would not only have to die but also provide an official death certificate to cancel the month to month contract I would have chosen someone else.
Hi Maurice - First and foremost we are deeply sorry to hear about your loss. Please accept our sincerest apologies for the miscommunication and frustration we caused you during this difficult time. Our cancellation policy is what you see on the website, no cancellation fees and no hassle. We are investigating your case to ensure we take the proper steps to improve on our end. We most definitely hold customer satisfaction to high standards and would like to further assist you. To cancel, we do require the equipment back in working condition from customers as it was leased. We have assigned a Customer Care Representative to your case who will be in touch shortly to assist you further and get everything on the account squared away. Talk to you soon.
All the best,Bay Alarm Medical

I had to update my credit card info for my mom Theila ** and order a necklace. Everyone was kind and courteous. I wanted to get the necklace for her and Shauntee found out that we had an old model and now we're getting the new model and new necklace without having to pay anything different. I would recommend Bay Alarm before any other alert company. The price is very reasonable. We've had Bay Alarm for quite a few years and never had a problem.

I just talked to Shauntee about needing to return a product because my circumstances had changed over the past year. Add to that, my "year" had been devastating and I recall very little. Shauntee was kind, very professional and quickly assessed the situation with good answers and we are now in the process of solving what could have been a most difficult situation. In addition to being so helpful, she was tolerant and reassuring given my quirky sense of humor. How refreshing to find such a kind, knowledgeable, professional and capable CS person.

Found Bay Alarm very responsive to questions and ready to help. The responders are always very polite and quick. My only complaint was with the original salesperson who failed to tell me I was there was a watch available and that I was getting the sensitive fall button which kept giving false alarms. She also failed to inform me that the large red stick on HELP buttons cost more. I imagine she must be on commission!

The contact person was courteous and prompt, resolved my issue within a minute or two, very pleasant. Overall the company was fantastic during every encounter I had with them, if it wasn't for the fact that dementia prevented the person from remembering to wear the device for falling or to know what the box was for, we would still be using their services.

When PG&E cut power to my area with inadequate notice, I was left without power to the Bay Alarm device. I received a call a few days later responding to my telephone call advising Bay Alarm of that fact and asking that they not call me in the middle of the night because they were seeing that my device was not working. They complied with my request, and the callback was a followup. I was completely satisfied with the way they responded. My one suggestion to them is that they identify themselves on Caller ID rather than just showing that they are a Toll Free Call, as many folks (including me) don't pick up the phone unless they know who's calling.

My mother in law still lived at home with my sister in law who works during the day. This was a little peace of mind, knowing if something happened - she would be helped.

I am mad as hell. My mother has been waiting a week for a new fall detection necklace. Her battery completely died last week. I called and requested a new necklace last Friday and asked that it be overnighted. I was told it would be overnighted on Friday. I knew better than to think it would get here by Saturday, but it should have been here by Tuesday at the very latest!
On Tuesday I called Bay Alarm AGAIN and was told it was in the mail. I received a UPS email stating that I had a package set for delivery for today, Wednesday, but when I checked, it had JUST been entered into the system as a label was created. I am Mad. My mom has been a long time customer of Bay Alarm. She cannot stay at her house without this system so she is staying with me for now. She wants to go home to her own home, but can't because someone didn't do their job. Did I mention how mad I am? I just ordered a new system from another company and should have it by Friday. Bay Alarm will be cancelled first thing in the morning. If you value your safety I suggest that you think long and hard about continuing doing business with Bay Alarm. They are not even capable to get a new fall detection necklace in the mail...

Received a vmail and email on 9-23-18, that account was past due and had been since January of 2018. They said they had tried repeatedly, but I get vmail in my email and guarantee that is not the case. This was the first I had heard about the problem. Absolutely ridiculous, and we have replaced the communication box just a couple of months ago and nobody said anything. If you want me address issues that I'm not aware of you have to tell me. They got the account current, but did not tell me how much until I got a receipt, and then I called back to find out why it was so much. Billing operators are obviously not US-based and are not very understandable. I'm not very impressed.

This is auto withdraw from a credit card. I am Unable to speak to anyone until Monday as the business office is not open on weekends. I am most certain it's due to a credit card expiration. However- my 93-year-old father is on hospice and is blind. He has been left alone several times in the last few days with only his button as protection. They cut his service - and never notified us until now.
They have his home number - and 2 emergency contact numbers, as well as our house address, and NEVER reached out to us - until now. I will get this taken care of and then will cancel the service. Consumers have the choice of companies to use and there are many out there. If they choose to poorly communicate about a billing issue, I am not sure I want them communicating in the event of an emergency or a life and death situation. Choose wisely.
