Encountered problems with the original order and with the direction from your representatives resulting in a replacement of the system for our father. The supervisor I spoke to was EXCELLENT, unfortunately it was a hassle to reach a supervisor with your initial representatives giving us the typical company response.

I set up with Bay Alarm Medical for my Mom a few months ago. The set-up was very easy and Bay Alarm was patient to answer all my questions. During set-up we accidentally activated a "real" call to Bay Alarm. The response was immediately with very through questions to ensure we was safe. This gives me 100% confidence that should Mom need to "push the button" Bay Alarm will be there for her and send help immediately. Thank you, Bay Alarm!! This provides a great peace of mind.

Wearing the necklace in the shower it went off accidentally. Seems to be very sensitive. What can I do to keep it from going off accidentally in the shower? Otherwise everything has worked pretty well. It makes me feel safer. I really have no other concerns.
Hi Norma - Thank you for taking the time to share your recent experience. We do recommend our customers to be protected in the shower as it is a high-risk fall area. We understand your button seems to be setting off false alarms, so we will have a Tech Support representative give you a call to offer a helpful solution. We definitely want you to be protected and comfortable and will do our best to solve your issue. Talk to you soon. Thank you, Bay Alarm Medical

We had a false alarm, but the response was just what we had hoped it would be. Bay Alarm's customer service helped us through some of my mom's early adjustment problems. We are very pleased, and would recommend this service.

I am on the go a lot but live alone and want to have some security in case of an accident. I think the lanyard supplied with the GPS unit is very cumbersome. The unit falls just above my waist line and I'm inadvertently pressed it twice by leaning into something. I would prefer the unit to be much smaller with a less restrictive lanyard. Otherwise, I'm satisfied.

My sister, Rosella ** and I, purchased the alert system after her husband passed away in May of this year. To date, we feel everything has been as advertised and things have gone efficiently and easily. Recently, she needed to use the alarm and the response was immediate, help called and I was notified as the contact person. We received the lockbox as part of a July promotion and are very happy to have that extra layer of security.

Terrible documentation and unhelpful support department. Received a tiny user manual with 8 point type. Customer support advised me to Google videos for help setting up unit. Refused to prorate billing for unit which took two weeks to arrive, insisted that I pay for unit I couldn't use.
Hi Will - We appreciate your feedback and are happy to let you know that we have updated our Mobile GPS Device pamphlet to a larger font which is currently being made and processed.

I wanted the device quickly, so paid $39.95 for "2-day" express shipping. Ordered on a Thursday, I expected it on Saturday. Uh, no. When I called them on Sunday to find out where it was, they "explained" that although it says 2-day shipping on the site, once I press the "send" button, they pointed out that the fine print that springs up at the bottom once you place your order indicates that it isn't really 2-day shipping, it is "2-3 business days". Meaning that although I ordered it on a Thursday, it wouldn't arrive until the following Tuesday.
I would have received it the same time as ground shipping. Very unhappy at what I viewed as deceptive advertising, I asked them to charge me only for ground shipping (which it was) rather than for "express shipping" (it wasn't). They refused, indicating that they were within "policy". Nonsense. I have canceled the alarm order even before receiving the equipment. Any company that treats its customers this way will not be a good provider in other ways. Try another vendor that doesn't lie to customers.

With our help, my 92 year old mother still lives independently. When she finally agreed to my suggestion that a medical alert system would be a smart move and provide an extra layer of much-needed safety for her, I immediately dove into researching the various systems in today's market so we could act before she had a change of heart. After comparing a number of services, looking at features and charges, and reading hundreds of customer reviews, the Bay Alarm Medical Alert became the clear choice for us to help protect my Mom.
Ordering was simple, set up was incredibly easy, and initial equipment testing proved that the system was simple enough for a non-technical 92 year old to use with confidence. Like insurance policies that we carry, we hope that she will never need to summon assistance, and the alert system will get the chance to be a "waste of money," but she and our entire family are very pleased to have the peace of mind the Bay Medical Alert brings to us.

Purchased system for 81-yr. old widow from our church... Online. Only after purchase, did Bay Alarm Medical provide four-page, service agreement that disclosed an additional $299.00 charge would be assessed if user discontinued monitoring system. This information is not available to consumer until "AFTER" the online purchase has been made.
I reviewed Bay Alarm Medical's online website which provides FAQ for consumers. Direct quotes from site: Question: "What total charges?" Answer: "Zero hidden fees!" Question: "Are there any cancellation fees? Answer: "No, you may cancel at any time." While this answer "partially" accurate, no further information is provided to the purchaser that an additional fee of $299.00 will be charged if equipment is not sent back. Since most users of the service are elderly, in a state of fragile health and perhaps incapable of understanding a 4-page contract written by attorneys, I believe that the lack of full disclosure of ALL anticipated fees and charges is disgraceful.
Although Bay Alarm Medical personnel rep stated that no equipment would be mailed to user until the "Legally binding contract was signed and returned to Bay Alarm Medical," that policy is NOT applicable to online purchasers. My credit card was charged before I had reviewed the Service Agreement on behalf of my 81-year old friend. Although I have canceled the account, the equipment was immediately sent and it's way to her home. I must now intercept it and send it back.
Hello Victoria, We thank you for your feedback and would like to apologize for any confusion. After reviewing your account it does look as though a Service Agreement was sent after your initial order for review, but all of the terms and conditions included in the Service Agreement were provided and electronically agreed to at the time of order on our website ordering page. We assure you that it is always our policy to provide the entirety of the terms and conditions at the time of order and prior to the shipment of the equipment. We do have a no hidden fees policy and due to our equipment being provided free of charged and required for return, we will never be able to add additional equipment fees unless the equipment becomes damaged prior to return. Again this is not a hidden fee or a required fee of our customers with a normal use and return of equipment. Again we would like to apologize and will provide assistance with the return of the equipment if needed. We have a 30 day risk free trial period so a full refund of your purchase price will be issued upon return. Please contact us with any questions that you have. Kind Regards, Bay Alarm Medical

Your responses to my mother’s calls were all excellent. On one occasion you had to work your way down the list of contacts. One of the first time call recipients thought your first words should be along the lines of "this is an emergency call" to get her attention to the nature of the call immediately, as she hangs up quickly sometimes if she suspects a robot call or sales call. But then that is Aunt Liesel.

We were on a billing cycle where they linked us six months in advance. When we realized we didn't need the service anymore we had just been billed for the next six months. They told us that they will not give any prorated refund of that six month prepayment. They seemed happy to point out that this condition is part of the terms and conditions that we signed. Oh well.
