My mom fell in her kitchen on the 14th of March. She activated her alarm but was too far from the unit to be heard. Life Alert contacted myself and my brother, and emergency services. I live only about 2 minutes away and arrived at the same time as the EMT’s. She suffered a broken pelvis, but is now back home doing ok. Thanks to Life Alert!

I had opened the door and they were able to come in and lift me to my chair. My head and knees were bleeding.

I cancelled your service after an experience we had. I had your service for my Mother and Mother-in-law. When my Mom was found unresponsive, my sister pushed the button when she found her. The operator questioned whether it was a real emergency. Precious time passed before an ambulance was called (which we called). I asked for a full review of what happened and evidently no one thought it was important enough to check into since I never heard anything back. The person I talked to was not helpful nor were they concerned, so I wasn't surprised I didn't hear anything. There was a happy ending after my Mom spent several weeks in the hospital. She is doing okay now. We couldn't take a chance on something like that happening again so we now have a service we can trust.
Dear Joel,
We have performed a thorough investigation of your concerns, and listened to all of the audio recordings. We understand the emotional strain families go through in an emergency of a loved one. Sometimes events can be perceived differently while under extreme stress.
When we first received the emergency signal, we called the house immediately and asked to speak to your mother. Her caregiver said, “She is asleep right now.” We explained that we needed to speak to her because we received a signal. The caregiver then gave the phone to your sister, who told our dispatcher what was happening. Our operator immediately notified the authorities and they arrived due to our notification to them. This was completed under two minutes. We found that all of our personnel were professional and performed their jobs fully, appropriately, and timely.
However, we are sorry that you feel you had a bad experience with Life Alert.We wish you and your family great health.

My mother moved to an assisted living situation. She wanted to cancel her membership with LifeLock. She was told she was in a contract and was not able to cancel. She was not treated well at all. After many attempts to cancel she gave up. So she paid for the service for over a year without the service being used and she was living in an assisted living home not even where the service was. No one would help until her card was lost. Then they threatened to send her to collections and wow guess what they canceled her account. However, all she wanted was to not pay the last remaining balance of 269 dollars as she had been paying them for well over a year. They would not even listen! With the way I was treated and my Mom was treated, I would never use them! No one would even listen to what I was trying to tell them or even think about helping her!
We are sorry that you had a bad experience with LifeLock.

Hi everyone, just saw a Life Alert ad and it brought back some bad feeling I have for that company. What they do is great. But when they make a mistake that made the paramedic/firefighters break down our doors to get into my home to help my mom. Which they admitted doing. I’m glad that they were able to get in and help my mother. But I wish Life Alert would have done their job and tell the fireman that we have a lockbox (which Life Alert made us buy and put in) with a door key in it and also give the fireman the combination. Which they were supposed to do. I had to spend over $2000 to replace our double doors.
I asked Life Alert what they were going to do about it and they told me they would give us 3 months free service. They told me that’s what the fine print in the contract we signed says they would be liable for in case they do something wrong that causes damage to your property. 3 months at $59 = $177. That really sucks. Needless to say there are a lot of better, less expensive and with no contract out there. Do your homework and I’ll never use Life Alert again!!!
Thank you for taking the time to let us know how you feel. Although your mother’s account had been cancelled years ago, we are sorry you feel that you were not justly compensated. All our calls are recorded, so we were able to look into this matter. At the time of your mother’s emergency, you explained that your front doors were very old, cracked, and you were going to replace them anyway, and that you did not expect us to buy you new doors but would like some compensation. We offered you 3 months of free service, which you seemed to be satisfied with at that time. Moreover, we suggested that you send in a receipt for the doors for review, but unfortunately, we never received any further information. Again, we are sorry you had a frustrating experience with us, and we truly wish you well.
