Life Alert Emergency Response

I am a heart patient. I was getting chest discomfort. I pressed my Life Alert, when answered she sent for help. The most comforting thing was she stayed on the line with me until help arrived. That meant so much to me, not to be alone at the time. When they arrived, they were very thorough. It seemed to be my heart. Stayed in the hospital overnight. It turned out to be my ribs or a pulled muscle but not the heart, thank God. I was sent home late afternoon.

I am an 86 year old woman and I went to my mailbox and fell and could not get up. I was stranded outside in Michigan (it was very cold and freezing) for around 3 hours. I don’t remember much of what happened, but at one point I heard the Life Alert speaking and I yelled at the voice telling him of my predicament and then I heard the ambulance attendant. Then I don’t remember much till the next day. I will recommend Life Alert always.

At 6:00 pm, I was in my kitchen and tripped on a standing towel rack. I hit my head on the pantry door as I went down resulting in a large knot and could not get up. I pushed my neck pendant and Life Alert, knowing were my front door key was and who to contact, were here in minutes. I sat in a chair and it was decided I should go to the emergency room and get an MRI on my head and it turned out ok.

I have fallen out of bed five times, out of a chair once, and on the kitchen floor once – and last of all – on the back porch. At no time do I recall any symptoms preceding fainting but I simply blacked out suddenly and woke up face down, unable to get up. I pressed my Life Alert each time and was rushed to the ER. Reasons for blacking out are not yet identified. Thank the Lord for the invention of your device!!

I had a severe edema in both of my legs, which was very painful. About three am on July 23, I had dozed off in my chair. When I got up to go to bed, because of the pain, my left leg gave out and I fell with my walker. I pushed my Life Alert button. My phone was not by me at that time. When the phone rang, I couldn’t answer it. After about 20-25 minutes, the ambulance came. Thank God for Life Alert.

My gf almost passed away twice in 3 months from COPD. We got Life Alert because her attacks came by surprise, no warning. Her last attack put her into the hospital again, but this time the found a bad heart valve. They replaced the valve and she is no longer on oxygen. We still kept the system and during that time my Dad ended up needing to get a system. We were already paying $90.00 a month and not using the system so we wanted to have my Dad instead. We were told we couldn't do that either. I called and had the bad luck of getting Jasmin as my "customer service". She is very condescending and rude. We have a three year contract that We couldn't do anything other than pay.. "We had a contract" was her go to along with a little snicker to let me know how important she was.

My brother has used Life Alert several times and each time staff has made sure we got the message when my brother has gone to the hospital. Thank you Life Alert.

Daddy fell during early morning hours. He pushed his Life Alert button and EMTs and the people on his list were notified. Daddy was tended to quickly. The Life Alert attendant was very professional. I appreciate the call back after the event to make sure everything was ok.

Though my mother was having issues with light headiness. She got checked out, was very courteous and she went to the hospital. Life Alert was so accommodating and excellent in making her feel comfortable. We were very pleased. Kudos.

I was unable to speak, able to depress wrist band button, just prior to full seizure activity. Life Alert contacted the emergency squad and transferred me to the hospital. Thank goodness!
