Life Alert Reviews

I got Life Alert for my mom. The morning of the incident, I walked in and found my mother on the floor having a seizure. I immediately pressed the Life Alert button and the woman answered right away. She called the squad and they arrived in a matter of minutes. Mom was admitted to ICU with DKA, stroke, and heart attack. Mom spent 5 days in ICU, 5 days in a step down unit and 8 days in the acute rehab unit in the hospital. She is doing wonderful at this time. She has regained the use of her left side now. Having Life Alert helped save her. Thank you for being there at the time that she really needed Life Alert’s service! I am so happy we picked Life Alert. Thank you and thank God!!

I had a TIA in December 2008. My doctor had been treating me for high blood pressure. When I called him on March 18, 2016, and told him my blood pressure was over 200, I had a headache and blurry vision. He said I needed to go to the emergency room. He said I needed to be evaluated and possibly given IV medications to lower my blood pressure. I called Life Alert and talked with the dispatcher. Everything went very smoothly. The paramedics, ambulance, and my neighbor arrived. I have been with Life Alert for many years and have always been satisfied with their kindness, skills and their professional manner! Thank you.

At 6AM, got newspaper, tore off the outer wrap, and out flew an envelope--twisted to catch it and fell. Used bookcase to sit up. 6:30AM contacted Life Alert. Paramedics arrived--thanks to Life Alert. Thank God.

I tripped over my oxygen cord and fell on my left side. I was not hurt badly, but could not get myself up. I have a knee replacement (left knee) and my right knee is bad. I tried to pull myself up on a chair but could not! So I called Life Alert, EMTs were here in minutes and checked me out and got me on my feet.

March 24 about 3:10AM. Woke up sick to my stomach, wanted to vomit, light headed—on the way to the bathroom I fainted. Surprised to find myself on the floor, pressed the Life Alert pendant, went to the bathroom, had some diarrhea. With a cane, I opened the front door and screen door. Talked to the Life Alert person on the line. In a matter of minutes, the men and a lady came in the door, treated me, took me to the hospital, and waited until help arrived. Thank you! Very nice.

It was a big tragedy in our life. My sister was cooking breakfast and fell over the stove and burn 3% of her upper body. Life Alert came in quick over the smoke in the living room and kitchen, they were quick to alert the ambulance. Life Alert calm me down and EMTs sent me to the hospital because I was in no condition to drive. Wonderful system. I have let people know how wonderful Life Alert is. Life Alert will be calling them soon. I am very thankful for this Life Alert system.

While responding to my elderly father’s request for a ride to the doctor’s, I attempted to hug the edge of the pavement to avoid hitting a dog that ran out in front of me. Recent flooding made this pavement unstable, which resulted in a bad wreck. The Life Alert operator not only sent me the assistance I needed but also sent my father the assistance he needed. In addition, my contacts were notified of which emergency room I was taken to, this provided the help I needed to get home that night. Now that is value!

On 4/4/2016, I was carrying a case of bottled water from the car to my home. I slipped on my cement walkway and fell. I landed on my left side and broke my left shoulder and left wrist. Life Alert contacted emergency services for me and the fire department took me to the hospital.

I have adrenal insufficiency. I was terribly nauseated and could not keep my steroid medicine down. I could not drive myself and needed an ambulance. Life Alert called me and got me to the hospital where I received steroid shots and my medicine by injection. All ended well.

When I fell and pushed the Life Alert bracelet button, I heard the voice of the operator. I was in horrible pain and crying and screaming. The wonderful operator kept me talking and telling me every minute that help was coming, that they will be here to help. I must have passed out for a few seconds but I was hearing this angel telling me that help was there and indeed it was there. Thank you, Life Alert operator and Life Alert emergency. I am recuperating from a rib fracture. Thank you one and all—God bless you.

I had an episode where I lost the ability to sit up, stand, lift my arms or walk. I called my friend and she came over to help. Life was very helpful in keeping my neighbor calm and reassuring us that help was on the way. I was not worried because Life Alert has been there many times for me in the past. Thank you for your help.

My mom fell and my dad having dementia was unable to help her in any way. So she hit her Life Alert button, but being hard of hearing, did not hear them responding due to the receiver being in another room. The response team was there in due time and Life Alert also called family members to notify us of the fall. This is such an amazing service and I would recommend Life Alert to any elderly person. Great job!

We had a tire blow out on the freeway. The day was very warm, in the mid 80’s. We could not get any help from the freeway staff so I used our Life Alert. It was a wonderful service. The gentleman who helped me was wonderful. His kindness was so helpful. I would recommend the Life Alert program to everyone. Thank you very much.

My father fell at 2AM, couldn’t get up or reach a phone. He activated Life Alert. They sent over paramedics and notified me. When I got there, paramedics had examined him and tucked him back into bed. Without Life Alert, he would have been on the floor the rest of the night and part of the next day. Thank you!

I fell out of bed and the covers were wrapped around me. I felt like a human burrito and couldn’t get free. The Life Alert staff were empathetic and friendly. Help arrived in a timely manner, so I was able to make it to the restroom.

I experienced a severe attack of vertigo, without knowing what that was. About 8AM, opened my eyes and everything was spinning. This went on-off and on throughout the day. About 8:15PM, it started again. I pressed my Life Alert button and the operator stayed on the phone or box with me until medics came. He had information to share with from my records (no blood) when my friend and her husband came to the emergency room. I asked, “How did you find out?” She said Life Alert called her. Thank you!!

Recently on March 17, 2016, I used the Life Alert. At 3AM, I had chest pains and I couldn’t breathe. I pressed the Life Alert, and they responded right away. I had an anxiety attack, I was scared it was a heart attack.

I highly would tell everyone Life Alert is a great help and helps you to feel comfortable. I fell on the tile floor, cut my brow and lots of blood, the fire truck was here in no time and the Life Alert voice machine was great. Life Alert kept talking to me, asking if I was OK. “Don’t worry EMTs are on the way.” I was so happy when they were here. EMTs helped me right away, got me up and I was on my way to the hospital. They got a doctor, had picture taken for any kind of bone broken. I was sent home at PM, thanks to Life Alert. Most important, Life Alert kept talking to me while someone came. Thank you so very much.

Life Alert responded quickly after my mom felt that she heard a rock hit her front door. The home was checked out well by the local sheriff department and it was confirmed that my mother was fine as well as her home. There was no evident of a rock near her door. Thanks so much for the quick and accurate response and also how soon contact was made to all her loved ones.

My mother fell and broke a bone in her leg that prevented her from reaching the phone. Pressing the Life Alert medallion got someone on the Life Alert box quickly. Paramedics were called, along with myself, to respond and get my mom help. Life Alert may have saved her life.

I had a COPD attack and could not breathe. Life Alert was very helpful and stayed on the phone with me until paramedics came. Life Alert called my sister and sent me a text to see how I was feeling. That made me feel like Life Alert was concerned. Thank you.

My mom fell and broke her hip. She was unable to respond to Life Alert after pressing the Life Alert button. So, Life Alert contacted everyone on our list and dispatched an ambulance. She was taken to the hospital and got the medical attention she needed.

After her caregiver left, as mom walked back from the kitchen her knees gave out and she fell. Fortunately, she had Life Alert. They responded and took her to the hospital where they prevented an impending heart attack. Life Alert saved her life and changed her life. She realizes now she needs more constant care. Thank you.

I want to thank Life Alert. I’ve had to use Life Alert twice. The first time my niece called me from another state, noticed that I didn’t sound right, so she called Life Alert to check on me. I ended up in the hospital. The second time my niece called me from another state, she had Life Alert checked up on me, and I ended up in the hospital again.

I woke one morning and could not stand or walk. I was fine the night before! My neighbor came and helped and I called Life Alert. My neighbor talked to Life Alert and EMTs came right away. I was in the emergency room for two hours at my local hospital! Very scary for me. My first time calling Life Alert!! (Have had it for over a year.) Thank you.

I had a bad nose bleed and was unable to call my caretakers. I alerted Life Alert who called the fire department and my care taker. Life Alert stayed on the line and waited for the fire department to arrive, ready to go over all meds I am on. I have needed Life Alert in the past and have always have a positive, professional experience. Life Alert representatives are safe and are always there for me.

Life Alert sent paramedics to my home after I tripped on an iron foot rest on antique bay streamer lounge. Fell across living room floor after hitting shin, knee, and hand. Two people helped me up. Called daughter, she said to call Life Alert. Thought I sprained my hand. EMTs said to go to emergency room. Had fractured right distal radius. Cast for six weeks, not in physical therapy. Second fall was in the garden which was edged by yard men (who had left.) Wind fan not facing kitchen window - stepped in to move it and foot went down over edging. Fell to the left and fractured my nose, what a bloody mess! Pressed Life Alert three times. Life Alert sent paramedics and fire truck. Seven hours in an emergency room. Such gray accidents. Must stay vertical. I have graves' eye disease from hyperthyroidism, who needs all this at 86. Haven’t loss my sense of humor yet. God is good.

I had a fall in my bathroom around 11 PM last November. I felt that I was going to fall so I pushed my Life Alert, which I always wear when I’m home alone. Within 10 minutes, the police, sheriff, ambulance and my son were here and I was taken to the hospital where I later was operated on for blood on my brain, so I feel that Life Alert saved my life.

I fell off my bed. I had been in the hospital for five days in the bed unless I had help. My helpers had gone to the grocery. She was back within a half hour. She called my brother, but they couldn’t lift me. Life Alert was called (with the Life Alert pendant button). Life Alert sent two paramedics, but they couldn’t lift me either. I weigh 270 lbs. The paramedics called the local volunteer fire department. End result was the fire department fellows put me on a tarp that had grips and about 4-6 men easily lifted me back on the bed!

I have fallen three times in the past several years and I have found Life Alert to be most helpful and assuring. An operator was very comforting (I am 92 years old) and stayed with me until help arrived. Life Alert called the three children I had listed with them. On one occasion, Life Alert only called for help to help me get up, as I requested.

I was having chest pains and short of breath and I was scared so I called Life Alert. In a very few minutes, I was talking to someone who put me at ease and stayed with me until an ambulance arrived. It was so nice to talk with someone when you are alone and scared. I would not be able to live alone if it wasn’t for Life Alert. Thanks for taking such good care of me. I am only 92 and don’t like living alone. With Life Alert, I feel safe.

My mom had been having Life Alert for years. She lived alone and was self-sufficient. We felt very safe because of this Life Alert device. Mom fell and broke her shoulder three years ago and could not move. If she would not have had her Life Alert button on, no telling how long she would have stayed on the floor with no help. My family will recommend Life Alert to anyone who lives alone. Thanks so much for the many years of wonderful service Life Alert provided to my mom.

Life Alert teams were phenomenal with their services to our beloved uncle. The Life Alert teams were contacted several times to uncle’s residence. Specifically, we had just arrived on Friday, February 1, 2016 where we were waiting in the courtyard of the hotel to check into our room, when my brother received a call on his cell phone that Life Alert had been called to uncle’s home. The attendant on the emergency vehicle kept in constant contact with my brother until our uncle was safely transported and checked into the hospital emergency room. We cannot express our sincere thanks to Life Alert and its services, attendants, medical technicians and staff. Again, thanks to Life Alert and we will engage its services in a few years when we are a little older or feel the need.

While watching T.V., I twisted to get something off an end table and experienced a severe pain in my left side that didn’t go away. I pushed my Life Alert pendant and within seconds, there was an answer. I could not understand the voice, however, my daughter was on the phone and could understand perfectly. Life Alert was telling me that paramedics were on the way. Within a few minutes, paramedics were here and transported me to the hospital, who transported me to another hospital. I was passing blood for 12 hours. I am 85 years old and have had a stroke previously.

He was mopping the bathroom floor backing up into bedroom, lost my footing, and fell. Unable to get up off floor by self, the Life Alert button was pushed by him. Ambulance was called for by Life Alert. When I got to his home, let ambulance in, Life Alert was still on the line. Very courteous with instructions when Life Alert called me at my home and when at his home and with ambulance personnel.

I had fallen on my front porch and couldn’t get up because I’d hurt my knee clear to my toes on my right leg. I was badly bruised but no broken bones. The fire department came and picked me up before any of my three emergency numbers could get here. But all three showed up and after it was all over, Life Alert called me back! That was nice Life Alert.

My father fell in the bathroom while I was at the stove. He pushed the Life Alert lanyard button and made contact. I came home at that point and spoke with the Life Alert personnel. They were very kind and helpful and stayed on the line with us until EMS arrived and stabilized him. Thank you very much.

On February 21, I pressed my Life Alert button at about 8AM and the Life Alert operator on duty answered and asked about my problem. In about 10 minutes, the ambulance came with paramedics and took my vital signs and brought me right away to the hospital emergency room and I was attended to right away.

After my first call for Life Alert, there is no way I would ever be without it. I could not get up to let the crew in, but they got in fast and really helped me. They knew just what to do. I will never be able to thank them enough. God bless each one of them. All I can say about Life Alert is that anyone without it, don’t know what they are missing.

I got Life Alert for my mother. She used it one time. I then got Life Alert for my wife. She used it four times and it saved her life three times. I now have Life Alert for myself and I have used it one time and it saved my life that time. Thanks to all the operators at Life Alert.

My blood pressure dropped and I fell in the bathroom. Life Alert was very helpful and stayed on the phone until 911 came. Life Alert contacted my children and told them exactly what had happen and which hospital I was taken to. Thank you, Life Alert.

The ambulance came immediately. The person on the Life Alert kept me informed at all times. When I was ready to leave, he wished me good luck; he was so courteous! He also kept the person on my call list totally informed every step of the way. I can’t say enough good things about Life Alert. I am very pleased!

I was sick for several weeks with coughing, fever and general weakness. Realizing I was getting worse and having difficulty breathing, I pressed the button for Life Alert. The attendants with the ambulance examined me and agreed that I needed to go to the emergency room. I was given excellent service by the fire department. They helped me get registered at the hospital. The ambulance crew came in my house promptly.

I had a hard time breathing and I called Life Alert. Life Alert called the ambulance right away. EMTs came and helped me. They were very alert. Life Alert are always there for you and very caring. Life Alert talks to you or keeps checking on you until help comes. I appreciate having Life Alert. Thank you very much.

When I called 911, I was put on hold; when we contacted Life Alert, they had the paramedics there in a few minutes!! Life Alert operators always provided my grandma’s medical history quickly, which we had lost!

Life Alert representative helped my sister. She was visiting from another city and felt ill. She has Life Alert as I do. I cannot express how helpful the Life Alert person was. She was so nice and all the family members that was contacted agreed. She put everyone at ease and she was very professional and knew exactly what to do. I wish I knew her name.

My mother fell outside her home and was unable to get up. She pushed her Life Alert pendant button, not knowing whether Life Alert could receive the signal from outside. Within a few minutes, she heard sirens, and knew that help was on the way. She was transported by ambulance to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. Thankfully, her only injury was a sprained ankle. Life Alert notified her family that she had called for help, and that ambulance was dispatched.

Could not breathe. I called Life Alert and they told me what to do until the ambulance arrived. I feel Life Alert saved my life and I have continuously told my friends that they should get Life Alert. I will never be without it. Life Alert is excellent!

At 6:00 AM, got up, fell, and I was locked between table and door. Walker fell over head. All I could get to was my Life Alert button. EMTs came, took the door down, and took me to the hospital. I’d lost two pints of blood. I made it. Thanks to Life Alert.

On January 29, 2016, I fell in the den of my home. Somehow, my left ankle gave away, and I fell with my left leg under me. It was bleeding real badly. I called a neighbor but got no answer. Then I pressed Life Alert, and EMTs came in a minute. Was carried to the hospital, where they put forty staples in my leg. Right now, I am doing great.

I went over to pick up a cube of ice and fell and hit my head. I was admitted to the hospital, but not because of the fall. My calcium level was high and blood pressure. I was very pleased with the Life Alert service that I received. The gentleman from Life Alert stayed on the line with me until the EMT workers arrived. The EMT workers came quickly. The whole situation has made me a believer of Life Alert. I would recommend Life Alert to anyone. Thank you for your service.

Someone tried to break through my bedroom window waking me up at 2:30 AM. I banged on the window and shouted to get out loudly and waited 20 seconds then looked through window to see him walk across the yard. Pressed Life Alert--they called police and told me to lock myself in a room until police arrived. Police came and everything was OK.

At 10:30 in the evening of March 5, 2016, my chest discomfort became unbearable. My 82 year old husband was asleep. I pushed the Life Alert button, then unlocked the doors and woke my husband up. The Life Alert staff called the ambulance, my children, and stayed on the line with me until they arrived. Life Alert gave EMTs my condition, medical information. Thanks so much.

We were getting water damage down the wall in my mother’s bedroom from a register on the second floor. The water was running down through a smoke alarm and outlet. My mother was in bed and her bed was right up against that wall. I couldn’t get a hold of maintenance and or the manager. I pushed the button to Life Alert and they called the fire department. They arrived to us within minutes. Life Alert stayed on the phone with us until the fire department arrived, and talked to Life Alert. I don’t know what I would have done without the Life Alert people. I was so upset I couldn’t think straight. Thank you, Life Alert.

Mom fell at home while alone and fractured a hip. At the same time, her phone line was having problems, which Life Alert saw as the potential cause of an alert it received. They immediately contacted me and stayed in contact every 15 minutes or so until I could confirm that an emergency existed. Life Alert dispatched the EMS and stayed in touch with them and the family until mom reached the emergency room. Excellent response and follow through. I have told many people that signing on with Life Alert is the best thing I ever did for mom.

Thank you, Life Alert! I was alone when I fell and it was very bad! I fell backwards on ceramic tile hard. I pushed my Life Alert button! I could not get up due to very bad knees! EMS came, checked me out, and all was ok! Thank God and Thank God for Life Alert!!

Life Alert was there for me when my mother had to be rushed to the hospital in February. I did not hear her cry for help, however, through the Life Alert speaker phone system, the Life Alert operator on duty was able to bring to my attention that something was wrong. Throughout the entire process the operator remained calm, while I proceeded to answer his questions. The operator assured me that he would remain on the line until the ambulance or fire department arrive. After I had advised the Life Alert operator that the response team had arrived, the operator stated, with kind words, that they hope my mother would be OK.

I fell in the shower and couldn’t help myself get up. I pressed the Life Alert button and the firemen showed up and picked me up. Wow!! One of those firemen was my grandson. You haven’t lived until your grandson has to pick you up covered with soap.

My elderly parent complained of full body pain and dizziness and nausea. She complained to her sitter, the sitter had our mom contact Life Alert. Within 2-3 minutes, a call was received from Life Alert to determine the extent of when EMTs arrived. The Life Alert operator calmed our parent and assured that help was on the way. Life Alert remained on phone until help arrived. Then a return call by the Life Alert operator occurred to check on parent and location of facility where parent was taken. We feel our parent is safer with Life Alert.

I put a pan on the stove with water and eggs to boil for 10 minutes. I forgot about it and left the house to visit a neighbor. Then I was informed by a neighbor the fire truck was at my house. I remembered the eggs and met with the firemen who were called by Life Alert when no one answered the fire alarm alert. The house could have got on fire. Thank goodness no damage except for black eggs in a burnt pot. Thanks to Life Alert.

Life Alert called the right people and they were here in a short time. EMTs took me to the hospital. My pressure was at 250 and I had a severe headache and sharp pain. Thank you Life Alert for the quick help, staying on the phone the whole time, and for calling my friend so she could come home from work.

We live in a split-level house. While my husband was upstairs in the kitchen cooking with the TV on, I was downstairs in my computer room working on taxes. The calculator was on the seat of my walker. So I only had to turn my roller desk chair from the computer to do the math intermittently. The chair rolled backwards as I was holding the walker handles trying to stand up. I fell backwards onto the floor, pulling debris on top of me. Hubby couldn’t hear me since my door was shut. I finally pressed my Life Alert button.

I had trouble breathing. Life Alert notified the ambulance immediately and came right away. Life Alert also notified my sons and my neighbor. I was taken to the emergency room after checking me over and doing some tests. They sent me home. I have been doing fine now.

Life Alert came to my aid promptly and courteously, they responded to my request very fast. The aid responders arrived in approximately four minutes, I reside only one and half blocks from the hospital. My vitals were taken at once, right away. After six hours my pain stopped. I got instructions to see my own physicians as soon as possible. It was helped! Thank you! I am giving information to the residents about Life Alert!

I had been sick all week and couldn’t keep my medicine down (diabetes, heart, blood pressure). My neighbor came over to help me walk. Thursday, I tried to walk on my own and passed out as I tried to get into bed. My neighbor pushed my Life Alert button and was unfamiliar with how Life Alert worked. He was talked through it. The squad got here quickly (in a rural area). Life Alert had my medical history and passed it on to the EMS. Everything was handled in a very professional manner. My step-daughters were called and were kept up to date on my status.

I pressed my Life Alert button and I was immediately responding to a voice calming me. Soon after, three EMTs arrived. They also calmed me down. The EMTs were respectful and very helpful. They also took my bag of trash outside to the trash can. I certainly didn’t expect that. I can’t say enough about how great Life Alert was.

It was a Sunday morning. I am nearly blind and very hard of hearing but do still live alone. I was reaching for my walker next to my bed, missed and went down. I weight 185 lbs. and find it difficult to get up. I did not pass out but could not get up. Some time ago, following a fall, I dislocated a shoulder and still have problems with it. Thank God I had Life Alert and my son, the police and ambulance all came to my assistance. Thanks!

During the last six months of my mother’s life, Life Alert was an invaluable support system. My mom needed immediate medical assistance and ambulance service to the emergency room on at least three occasions. When a loved one is lying on the floor in a pool of blood or unresponsive, having Life Alert take control, contacting all emergency responders, continually talking you through until help arrived, was a God send. Thank you.

I couldn’t live alone without Life Alert. I was sitting, watching T.V. and I got up to go to bed, and I couldn’t step down on my left foot. My foot stung, I rubbed it good, hung on to the furniture and made it into the bedroom. I hurt so bad, I could not go to sleep. I pressed on my Life Alert button and about 15 minutes later, four handsome, well-dressed gentlemen came, and took me to the hospital for surgery. I had a blood clot in my foot. I needed surgery. My doctor said I arrived just in time before a heart attack.

I was physically sick with high fever, high blood pressure and elevated blood sugar. I also had a sore on my right lower leg that was infected. My body was fighting the infection and I was extremely nauseated. When I used my Life Alert call for help, EMTs were there to take me to the hospital within a few minutes. Thanks.

I realized something was wrong with my great-grandmother who is 89 years old. She was shaking really bad and trying to talk to me but just a mumble was coming out. I pushed the button on her Life Alert and they responded immediately and an ambulance came in minutes and transporter her to the hospital where she was diagnosed with a stroke. She received immediate treatment and is doing well now. I am so glad she had Life Alert because I would not have known what to do.

After taking a bad fall at age 89, I knew it was time to sign up with Life Alert for protection of more accidents, so luckily I did. On January 25th (I am now 95), I awakened to know I needed immediate help to get to a hospital so I pressed the Life Alert button and before I could believe it, I was in the hospital. Doctors inserted a pacemaker in me. I am living proof Life Alert saved my life!!!

My mother fell and broke her wrist on the morning of January 24th. She activated her Life Alert and the response was immediate. She was taken to the emergency room of our local hospital where she received prompt and accurate care. I was impressed by the quick response and attentive care given by the Life Alert staff. Very well done!

I fell in my kitchen and fractured my pelvis in three places. Friends were with me and insisted I pressed my Life Alert device. My friends spoke to Life Alert staff--an ambulance was dispatched and they took me to the hospital. I was very glad to have Life Alert and am going to use it at my new facility even though there are pull-cords for emergencies.

My mother in-law was alone. Her daughter had just been here and she was fine. Most likely no one would have checked in with her again for several hours. She was placing a chair under the table, got her toe caught and fell with the chair on top of her and broke her hip. Thank God we had talked her into purchasing Life Alert--it saved her life! What a God send Life Alert has been for our peace of mind.

Sunday morning at about 5:00 AM, February 23, I woke up to a loud noise. The window was broken and a young man was on the floor. I said, “Get out like you got in.” He said, “They are going to kill me.” I asked him who and he did not answer. I then headed for the door, he got me from behind, tripped over my chair. I fell to the floor. He then helped me back into my chair. I called Life Alert as fast as I could. Help police came in 5 minutes. I also am fine, not hurt.

I fell down outside, on the cold wet ground, trying to get groceries out of the car. It wasn’t dark yet but soon got dark and I was cold. I finally decided to crawl up my ramp to the porch. I made it--but could not get up from the porch steps. I was hurting and cold and damp. I finally remember I was wearing my Life Alert necklace and pushed the button. I was outside and not sure I was heard, but I was. Life Alert came to my rescue. Help came, picked me up, and brought me inside.

Middle of the night, someone rang the bell. I looked out, saw no one. Frightened, I was next to Life Alert monitor on my second floor. I pushed the Life Alert button and had Life Alert staff call police. She stayed right on the line with me until police arrived--15 minutes! As it happened, someone in our neighborhood that night had experienced a home invasion so police were very concerned.

I had an emergency and used my Life Alert home system to activate the Life Alert system. Life Alert personnel promptly notified me and two other family members of the situation. Then Life Alert later called and informed family members that I was being transferred to the local hospital. The Life Alert staff were very kind and professional. Thank you, Life Alert, for being there.

I woke up and someone was jamming my door handle. I called Life Alert and they responded quickly. Life Alert called the police and they arrived within 3 minutes. They searched the perimeters and informed me no one was in the area. Life Alert continued to stay on the line the entire time of the incident. I am very grateful for Life Alert. They always respond to my needs with all their compassion. Thank you.

I fainted while sitting on the toilet and came to on bathroom floor. I tried to stand up and realized I could not stand on my left foot. I pressed my Life Alert button and they called paramedics and stayed on the speaker with me until they arrived. I had broken my left foot in three places and feel so grateful that I had that Life Alert button to press. I had Life Alert for many years, not used it much, but in an emergency, it was wonderful to have. Thanks so much for being there when I needed you, Life Alert.

Fell January 23, 2016, it was 5:30 AM. I was in the bathroom and somehow I got caught by the walker. I couldn't get up after trying for half an hour. I pressed my Life Alert and had people here within minutes. I wasn't hurt but I did have very bad knees from being on them (under our grass) for half an hour. My knees are still healing.

I opened the front door to get newspaper with a grabber. While holding onto the storm door, I lost my balance, did a couple of turns and fell on my deck. It had stopped raining. Called Life Alert and within just a few minutes, they contacted EMS promptly and EMS came right away and got me up. Quick response, kept me dry.

My son, age 58, lives in my home with me. He had a knee problem and couldn’t move his leg without very serious pain. I pushed the Life Alert and they were very helpful in getting help to take him to the nearest hospital emergency room. He is also disabled. Everything worked out fine.

I fell and after trying to get myself up, I pushed the Life Alert button and the paramedics came and helped me up. EMTs checked my vital signs which was normal. I told them I didn’t want to go to the hospital and since I was alert and not hurt, EMTs left.

My 92 year old mother fell at her bed side (day after her 92nd birthday) while getting ready for bed. She fell and broke her right femur, right hip, right shoulder. While ago she had a heart attack and had two stints put in on her left side. Had it not been for her Life Alert necklace, she would have laid there alongside of her bed and died. Life Alert saved her life. We can’t thank you enough. She’s still in the hospital with lots of therapy ahead. But thanks to Life Alert and their people, she has a chance to reach her 93rd birthday. Thank you so much for your quick response!

I missed getting onto my bed and fell with my right leg underneath me. I couldn’t get up and crawled into the living room, thinking I could get into my recliner. I still couldn’t get up, so I pushed the Life Alert button on my Life Alert. A woman answered and the firemen came to my door within 10 minutes. They had a key and helped me into my chair. Nothing broken, I was grateful for the help.

I fell in my kitchen and could not get up. My Life Alert pendant was on my bedroom dresser. I knew I needed to get it. Pushed myself down the hall on wood floor. The Life Alert cord was hanging down so all I had to do was reach up and grab it. Pressed the Life Alert button and the operator was on. It was good to hear her voice. One thing I learned from this experience was always make sure the Life Alert pendant is around my neck.

I forgot eggs boiling on the stove and left to go to my volunteer job. When I got home, a fire engine was in front of my house and my best friend was there. There was no flame but the house was full of smoke. The fire men had a blower going to clear the smoke and my dog was outside. My dog is a big German Shepherd and was okay. I had a big mess (eggs exploded), but due to Life Alert’s quick action, there was no damage. Thank you.

Life Alert did exactly what I expected of them. Life Alert contacted me immediately on the monitor and kept me informed as to how long it would be before help would arrive, which wasn’t long at all. Life Alert also called my oldest son to inform him as to what was going on. I have been very pleased with the response I received from Life Alert.

The ambulance was called when I fell and was bleeding very much. The two attendants came to my apartment and my daughter came. All 3 helped by clearing the blood and bandaging my head. Then the ambulance driver gave me a choice of going to the hospital or staying home, I was very glad to stay home. Life Alert was very polite and helpful.

I am a widow living alone except for my little dog. We heard noises around the outside of the house after we retired for the evening. Also seemed to hear things in the garage even though the garage door was closed. Life Alert sent the police in a very short time. They checked everything inside and outside of the house. Found nothing.

At noon, I wanted to prepare some lunch. This is why I use microwave oven to heat my dinner. The setting was too high and the dinner started to burn. I opened the door and windows and Life Alert called the paramedics. One of paramedics checked the kitchen and other rooms and then he left.

First time I used Life Alert, I accidentally pressed the bracelet button and was amazed at how quickly and kindly Life Alert service answered. Second time I used Life Alert, I fell getting onto my bed, pressed Life Alert button, and within minutes they had EMT responders here to help me get up. Life Alert service is very reassuring to have as a senior, disabled widow living alone. Thank you.

Slipped off of my computer chair while bending over to pick up something, which had fallen on the floor. I am extremely obese and no longer have the strength to get up by myself. Life Alert had the firemen come to my house--she stayed on the phone until they arrived--talking to me and making sure I was alright. After, I assured her I was OK. Life Alert had talked to the firemen and they assured her I was OK. She ended the call. Very helpful--very caring.

My 98 year old mom was home alone. She tried to call me, her daughter, but could not reach me as I was in a dentist office. She felt anxious as her cold was causing her to cough a lot. She was always concerned about Life Alert “finding” her, as we live up in the hills. My brother was alerted and he came as soon as possible -- just lives 1/4 mile up road. Ambulance attendants were respectful and smiling. She was relieved. She has pneumonia and currently in the care of rehab.

I had gashed a 5-inch opening on my left leg from the tube where my foot pedal legs connect to my wheel chair. I pushed my Life Alert button and was answered right away. Life Alert had called the ambulance which was there within minutes! This happened February 3rd, 2016.

I fell or collapsed on the bathroom floor. I was there for two hours (sure I would’ve died). When I asked God to help me, I looked down and my Life Alert was around my neck. Only five minutes and help was here. The lady on Life Alert was so comforting. I’ve been in the hospital and rehab for a month now. I am never without Life Alert. Thank you.

I leaned on my TV table which collapsed. I could not get up due to weak knees. I hit the Life Alert button which was around my neck. The Life Alert base was in the kitchen and I was in the office. The Life Alert woman called my cell phone to determine if I was injured and she called EMS to help me get up. I was not able to get up but was not injured.

I was short of breath. The Life Alert dispatcher sent the EMS. They were extremely courteous and competent. I love my Life Alert. It has given me a new lease on life. I am thankful for it and would also like to mention my Life Alert representative, who finally convinced me that it was a step-up from ADT, which was garbage in comparison! Actually, there is no comparison. Life Alert is a first-class operator. ADT can’t hold a candle to Life Alert. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

I fell coming back from the bathroom and I couldn’t get up. I pushed the button on my Life Alert and the operator asked what they could do. I told them I wasn’t hurt but couldn’t get up. Life Alert called the EMT. They came and helped me up and asked if they could do anything else and I said no but bless you, they were like angles to help.

I pressed my Life Alert button about 7 AM, January 20, 2016. I was on oxygen but not feeling well, so I checked my pulse and oximeter, it read 74 oxygen/pulse 119. I then pressed my Life Alert button, unlocked my front door, and laid down in bed. The 2 EMS were right on the ball in every way with my emergency treatment to the hospital. I am so very grateful. Thank you.

I was dressing in the bathroom and when I opened the cabinet door, I lost my balance and fell. I pressed Life Alert button and within 5-10 minutes, there was response with two EMS men in the house as well as the security police and then response from the doctor who lives next door as well as others on the call list. When I called the Life Alert, it was immediate and they were very polite and responsive.

My friend fell in her bedroom and lost consciousness. After a brief period of time (not sure how long), she regained consciousness and was able to use the Life Alert button to call for help. The local EMTs responded, forced the front door to gain entry and transported my friend to the local hospital. Her hip had been broken. She is now recovering in a rehab facility. We are grateful this had a happy ending.

Life Alert allows my husband (90 years old) and myself (87 years old) to remain in our home even with some health issues. Life Alert gives us peace of mind and security. My husband became ill one evening. Life Alert was called. As usual, the Life Alert operator remained on the line until medics arrived. While waiting, all emergency contacts were notified. My husband was hospitalized for a week. Due to Life Alert’s quick response, his recovery was much faster. Thank you, Life Alert, for helping us to bring my husband back home.

About 1 AM, I went to the toilet and started to get up but lost my balance. I fell and hit the tub rim. About 2 AM, I went to my daughter’s bedroom to notify her about the pain I was feeling, and shortly thereafter she hit the Life Alert button. EMS came out promptly.

I have called Life Alert twice. The first time I fell on my bedroom floor and couldn’t reach a phone. I called Life Alert and got an immediate result. The Life Alert operator called sons and my daughter who came over with her husband. Life Alert stays on the phone with me all the time. My son-in-law was able to get me up -- no injuries, no paramedics were called. Second call, somewhat the same -- paramedics arrived. All was OK, EMTs got me up. No major injuries. Excellent response. I recommended to friends and will continue to do so.

On January 24th, I was extremely nauseated and also on January 25th. On the morning of January 26th, I had a problem walking and standing for more than 2 minutes and could barely get around to fix breakfast. I felt weak, no strength (but I did not feel faint). After half a day, I knew it was more than a bacterial infection and called Life Alert. The fire department and medics arrived immediately; did an EKG. They found the house key just where Life Alert told them it was. The ER and hospital said I had anemia and needed a blood transfusion. They found I have gastric ulcers that had been bleeding very slowly.

I recently had an unexpected kidney stone that I did not know I had. But that Wednesday at 7:30, it decided to become my enemy. I pushed my Life Alert button and within 15 minutes, ambulance crew came and I was off to the hospital.

I have acute Crohn’s disease. I am subject to partial or complete obstruction. The pain with this is almost unbearable. Quick attention is very necessary due to the fact that the bowel may rupture, so hospitalization is very necessary. I have also used Life Alert for a good many falls, the last resulting in a concussion with brain bleed. I would not want to be without Life Alert. I live alone and am 83 years old.

On January 25th, my car door had scraped across my right leg as I was getting out of the car in a parking lot. A boomerang-shaped wound near my shin and mostly on the right hand calf. I didn’t realized how serious it was until I got home and saw the damage and copious bleeding. I called Life Alert right away and they sent over an ambulance to pick me up and take me to emergency at the hospital where a nurse-practitioner put 17 stitches in my leg. My family members took me home after the ER doctor said I could leave.

On January 2, 2016, I did not feel well, had a fever and was cold. I had a friend put another blanket over me. At about 6 PM, I decided to go to the ER. I had my friend call Life Alert, actually activated it by pushing on my Life Alert pendant. I told her what to tell them. And EMTs came immediately. The EMTs were very courteous. I found out I had pneumonia.

I was having a pancreatic attack and began to pass out. My daughter called Life Alert. The Life Alert dispatcher was extremely professional and caring. She stayed on the phone with us until the paramedics arrived. Life Alert called me several days later to see how I was feeling. I would definitely recommend Life Alert to my friends and family.

A while ago, I had to call Life Alert. EMTs were here in no time and so helpful. This year, February 2, in the middle of the night, I had to call again for upper respiratory infection. Again, Life Alert was very courteous. I sure would recommend Life Alert to anybody. I am over 100 years old, still living alone in my farm.

My mother fell in the kitchen of her home, her sitter called me and was concerned because she was in so much pain. When I arrived, I assessed the situation and felt she needed to go to the hospital. I pressed the Life Alert emergency button and Life Alert responded fast, and the staff remained on until emergency response team arrived and provided them with information about my mother.

February 1, 2016, I called Life Alert for help after falling in my home. Life Alert notified 911, who responded shortly after. I had medical attendance within minutes after my use of Life Alert. Later, Life Alert made a follow-up call to me to check on services and my physical condition.

We were cooking/warming some bacon wrapped scallops in an oven and grease spilled in the oven and it started to smoke which set off Life Alert smoke alarm. Opened windows and turned on fans which helped rid the smoke. Then the carbon monoxide alarm went off so Life Alert said to leave the house until fire department arrives and O.K.’s the house. Life Alert system worked as intended. Thank you.

My brother was experiencing shortness of breath and a diabetic emergency. The paramedics arrived within minutes and were very quick to respond to my brother’s needs. He was taken to the hospital and immediately admitted to ICU. He stayed in the hospital until January 10th. I appreciate the quick response through Life Alert.

On Christmas morning, my husband and I had finished breakfast. I walked out into our kitchen for a brief moment. My husband got up from the table and turned to walk out to the family room. He lost his balance and fell onto our tile floor fracturing his left hip. I was wearing my Life Alert pendant, pressed it, and help came right away. So happy we have Life Alert service!

Most impressive was the speed of response. The proficient way the team handled themselves upon arrival was very impressive. I had no doubt Life Alert absolutely knew what they were doing. EMTs handled my husband in a very gentle manner—did not hurt him at all. After getting him off the floor and back in his recliner, they checked him out thoroughly. EMTs offered to take him to the hospital, which he refused. After they left, Life Alert checked back many, many times to confirm all was okay. Great!!

My mom fell into her recliner chair, without Life Alert she would have been stuck for hours. She has congestive heart failure and the stress could have been bad, if not for the Life Alert button around her neck! We are grateful for the fast response to get help to her.

I was out of town and received a phone call at 4:05 AM on January 1, 2016. I was told that my smoke alarm alerted Life Alert and that a fire truck, police and ambulance were on the way as they could not verify my safety. I did not get to the phone on their first try. Life Alert then called my daughter in-law and son. Everything Life Alert did was excellent. Very courteous and helpful.

While getting into my bed, my right knee gave out from under me causing me to fall to the floor. In spite of several attempts to stand myself up, holding onto the side of my bed, I could not get any traction under my feet so I pushed my Life Alert button with prompt attention from your professional staff and the staff of our local EMTs!

Turning back my bedding (at 10:45 PM), my feet tripped and I sat down. I wasn’t hurt but knew I could not get up. So, I called my Life Alert and very soon police were at my house. Life Alert was sending an ambulance and I said, “O.K. but no siren.” EMTs finally arrived and then Life Alert was going to contact the others on my list and I said, “no--they are in bed and I am not hurt--don’t!” (They are my sons and they are in construction so they get up early and work long hours). Life Alert said, “O.K.” When the ambulance came, they asked me a few questions, picked me up and I was fine. I keep saying--if you have to use the Life Alert just once, it has been paid for itself many times over! I am so glad I have Life Alert and could sell them! Thank you so much!

My client was very alarmed at her difficult breathing--pushed the Life Alert button. Life Alert called me after calling EMS. I told Life Alert I would be there in five minutes. When I arrived, EMS had opened the lock box, retrieved the keys, entered, and taken appropriate procedures. Her blood pressure was 250/135. EMS made the decision to take her to the emergency room and had her on the gurney when I arrived. She stayed approximately four hours in the emergency room--blood pressure returned to normal. I brought her home. Family doctor adjusted blood pressure medicine. All O.K. at present.

My mom fell, used Life Alert to call for help. Life Alert were wonderful, even called back to see if we needed anything else. Life Alert called my brother also. I would recommend Life Alert to anyone.

I fell in my bedroom trying to strip my bed. I twisted my knee and couldn’t get up. I used my bracelet to call Life Alert after I called my daughter. The Life Alert operator stayed on the line with me until paramedics came. Life Alert gave my medical history to paramedics.

A couple times, mom accidentally set off her Life Alert pendant, and they never complained or chastised her for the inconvenience. Life Alert have always been gracious. Life Alert was there when she did need them and EMTs were able to come assist her. Since I am on her call list, I was grateful to be there for her, too. We, the family, still consider Life Alert a positive experience that allowed mom to remain in her own home for years longer than expected. She is doing well and thank you for the Life Alert service.

My 101 year-old grandmother fell getting out of bed and she actually remembered to push the Life Alert button. So, I heard Life Alert go off and ran to check what happened and the guy on the phone was so nice and said he would call for help and the fire department must have been here in 3 minutes. She ended up fracturing her spine, but doing well.

I fell. I was bleeding profusely from my head. I pressed the Life Alert call portion of my Life Alert bracelet and received an immediate connection to a Life Alert representative who contacted the paramedics and remained on the line with me until the paramedics arrived. Life Alert would not discontinue my call until he was certain I was being taken care of. He was so reassuring. It really made me feel so comfortable. I ultimately was taken to the nearest emergency hospital and was treated for my head wound. I am so grateful for the speed with which the help arrived, thanks to the Life Alert representative’s rapid response and immediate action.

On January 23, I walked through our yard to the mailbox to get my mail. I didn’t get too far coming back when I fell in the yard. The ground was frozen and uneven because of mole holes and tunnels. I had my 4-legged cane but fell the opposite way. My legs are too weak to get me up so I started scooting toward the house by digging my heels in and pushing with my arms and hands. As I got closer, I started pushing my Life Alert button. I got close enough to hear the Life Alert base talking. My husband was asleep upstairs and did not hear the base. Life Alert contacted the police and first responders. They helped stand me up--one on each side and one holding my hand in front. They asked if I needed to go to the ER and I said ‘no’ because I was not hurt. Life Alert then talked to me while EMTs were here, and after they left. Life Alert was very helpful.

I have had Life Alert for several years. I fell twice last year. Life Alert was there to help. I am now living with my daughter and have Life Alert under my own name. I have called Life Alert and EMTs were here right away twice.

My husband had several episodes as a result of being off blood thinners MD’s request for procedure—blood clot right leg, surgery to remove clot and oral surgery. It took three visits to determine his problem. Thanks to Life Alert who got him to the hospital. If EMTs had not transported him on that 3rd visit, we would have lost his leg.

I fell and couldn’t get up by myself. I didn’t injure myself except I bruised my knees. Finally, after trying to get up by myself, I called Life Alert for help. Finally, after waiting for someone to come help me, I tried one more time and got up by myself. The EMTs were very courteous and fast in their response.

My mother awoke from a nap one evening and had totally lost her vision. She pressed her Life Alert button. The female operator not only stayed on the line with her until emergency help arrived, but also continued checking periodically with her to make sure she was okay. Also, as always, Life Alert contacted me and one of my siblings to inform us of the situation. My mother and our family truly appreciate Life Alert. On more than one occasions, Life Alert have helped save her life.

Son was going down steps, lost his balance and fell on the cement, hit his head on the car. I mashed my Life Alert button. The EMS came about twenty or so minutes after. We let him lay on the cement until EMS came and attended to him. After being in the hospital a few weeks in rehabilitation, he is doing fine.

I suffer from a condition that causes my blood pressure to drop extremely low. I cannot stand very long before I pass out. I usually have a warning before passing out, but this time I didn’t get the warning. I fell backward, I had a concussion, and had blood coming out of the back of my head. I was in intensive care for two days. The Life Alert staff on the phone was a blessing. She kept me calm until EMTs showed up!

My 90 year old mother took a bad fall inside her home and was taken to the hospital where the doctor placed 9 staples in the back of her head and discovered she had also cracked her fibula in her left leg. She was quite impressed with the paramedics that came to her rescue and the speed Life Alert dispatched them. After five days in the hospital, she was discharged to go home and fully recovered. Thank you so much!

A varicose blood vessel burst while I was showering. I couldn’t stop the blood. My husband pushed his Life Alert and help was here quickly. My daughter was here too. After the rescue team got it wrapped and temporarily stopped, then MMR checked again. Got three stitches finally with pressure to wrap. They released me to my daughters.

I live alone and am grateful for Life Alert. I had a nose bleed and it was not showing signs of stopping after 45 minutes, so I called Life Alert to take me to the emergency. Unfortunately, it started to slow down on the trip to the emergency. I lost enough blood many times that I become anemic and can’t find a doctor to repair the damaged in my right nostril -- so I call for Life Alert.

We had just celebrated my 90th birthday at dinner. I came home and my son-in-law and daughter had just left. I decided to change my clothes and put on my night gown. I reached into the closet to get my underwear and lost my balance. I fell to the floor with my walker on top of me and was unable to move, sit up, or get up off the floor. I quickly rang for Life Alert. I was instantly sent help and an ambulance. I went to the hospital. Thankfully no broken bone and I returned home at 11:41 PM. Without Life Alert, I am sure I would have had a much worse experience. Thank you for all you’ve done to help me with every falls. I have had Life Alert for 7 years and am very satisfied. I always recommend Life Alert to all.

I fell in my living room, couldn’t get up, pushed my Life Alert and told the person who answered what happened. Life Alert called for help to see about me. I was not in the same room with the Life Alert control station but was told they send help even if they cannot hear a person clearly. Also, later the Life Alert operator followed up by calling me to ask if I was alright. I did appreciate this concern.

I was sick and did not know which way to turn. I live alone. My husband passed away. I’ve had shingles twice and very bad allergies. I had three phones and none that was working. After Life Alert attendance came that day, it restored my faith. I changed doctors and found out I had been over medicated. The new doctor is getting a new allergist for me. Thank goodness. Thank you ever so much, Life Alert, for being concerned so much that I got some help.

My mother had a heart condition that caused her to pass out suddenly. On January 10, 2016, she had an event at home with a home health aide present. The aide pushed the Life Alert button and got the help she needed quickly, plus the family was notified by Life Alert. We were very pleased with the response from Life Alert.

I am so very satisfied with Life Alert. I lost my balance while coming through the bathroom door. I was using my 3-wheel walker and got tripped up. It all happened so fast. My head slammed on the floor and I was knocked but for a few moments upon regaining conscious. But I still could not get on my feet and I pressed the Life Alert call button that I wear around my neck and the paramedics arrived in less than ten minutes. Thank you so much, Life Alert, for your promptness and care. Love you guys!

I was cleaning my oven, getting ready to bake a ham. I wanted to make sure the oven cleaner was cleaned off before I started baking. I don’t have a light in my oven, so I used my flash-light to see well. I forgot to remove the flash-light. It melted and caused smoke. The fireman was very nice and also Life Alert.

Life Alert dispatchers are extremely patient and professional. Dispatches stay on with you until EMTs leave. After about an hour, the dispatcher calls you to see if all is well. I absolutely recommend this Life Alert system. P.S. EMTs are here within ten minutes or less.

I fell in my driveway and couldn’t get up. I pushed my Life Alert button that I wear on my neck several times. I saw someone at my neighbor’s house and called them and they came and helped me up and into my house. The ambulance came shortly after I got in the house. They checked me out and wanted to take me to the hospital but I didn’t think I was hurt that much. Thanks.

I had a scratch half-down left leg from a previous deep scratch and it itched and it exploded 6ft in a few directions--tried to stop it and seemed to be having no success. I hit my Life Alert--firemen and paramedics arrived quickly and bleeding stopped. I had hit a varicose vein and as soon as we came to the end of vein, it stopped! But it was scary.

Being on oxygen 24/7 and being in a wheel-chair alone on the 15th floor of a large apartment complex, I was alarmed when the fire alarm went off. I promptly contacted Life Alert and they immediately notified the fire department, my daughter and stayed on the line with me until all was resolved. I am so grateful I have Life Alert service! Life Alert even requested the fire chief personally to call on me to reassure my safety when all was resolved.

I was not here when I got a call from Life Alert that the fire alarm went off in my home. Since I was four hours away, Life Alert called the fire department and my neighbor who also has a key. The firemen called me and said they did not find a problem. Life Alert called me and let me know everything was okay.

My client fell and was unable to get up. Unfortunately, she could not get a phone and no one was around. She pushed her Life Alert button and rescue squad arrived and notice was given to the caregiver.

When I arrived, client had fallen down and every time he tried to get up, he felt very dizzy. He had no strength in his legs at all. So, I pressed the “Help” button on the Life Alert system box. Immediately, the Life Alert staff answered. They were very polite and stayed on the line until the firemen arrived. Life Alert staff was very good about making sure firemen came within a reasonable amount of time.

I fell in my home; crawled to garage door thereby getting my legs under me. Then tried going into the house but either my leg or my cane became unsteady and I fell back into the garage. Not a bad fall. I did not have strength to get up by myself. Didn’t have my cellphone so I pressed my Life Alert. The police and ambulance were here 5-10 minutes. All very helpful. Life Alert even called my two sons to alert them!

My mother fell down the stairs. She activated her Life Alert button, the responder could not hear her response. My brothers and I were called, the paramedics were sent to my mother’s home. I received an update as soon as Life Alert got one. Thank you so much!

My wife fell in her bedroom. I no longer have the strength to pick her up now. I had triple bypass two years ago. I called Life Alert. The fireman from next door came and picked her back up and put her to back to bed.

My mother’s blood sugar was “dangerously” low and I was not home at the time. Life Alert responded to my mother’s call and alerted the paramedics. They arrived and helped her before I arrived. Life Alert also called my cell phone and my brother’s cell phone to inform us. Life Alert remained on the line throughout this ordeal. Thank you very much!

I had went out to feed my cats and fell out into the yard with leaves. I crawled back the best I could on the porch, I could not get up on my knees. I pushed the button on the Life Alert. EMTs were there to help me in just a few minutes. Life Alert was really nice and helpful. I would have laid out there all night.

I was experiencing increasing shortness of breath and called my doctor, who urged me to go to the hospital emergency room to have it checked out. I pressed my Life Alert pendant and Life Alert dispatcher quickly had help on its way. Although I could not remain by the unit, I could hear her voice coming frequently to encourage me until ambulance crew arrived and took over.

I had two emergencies in December. First, I was shaking with high fever. Ambulance took me to the hospital -- massive infection. Second, stomach pain -- ambulance took me to the hospital -- pancreatitis. Both times, the Life Alert operator stayed on line until rescue crew showed up. Life Alert called my daughter and cat sitter right away.

Recently, I lost my balance and fell down on the living room carpet. I use a walker because I can’t walk without holding onto something. When I fell, I didn’t break anything, but I couldn’t get up because I have weak knees. So, I thought the best thing to do was to call Life Alert! In only ten or fifteen minutes, the emergency response vehicle arrived with five medical responders. Two large sturdy men helped me up, and I was able to walk with my walker on my own. It was a God send when my children got Life Alert for me!

One morning, I was in my storage building with my son. All of sudden, my right hip bone began to hurt so severe that I could hardly stand it. I was able to get to the porch to sit down. We called Life Alert and within a few minutes, they were here to help. Gradually, I was okay!

Life Alert contacted ambulance and made sure I had the door unlocked so when EMTs got there, they could come right in. I was doing CPR -- Life Alert kept me informed of the ETA of EMS. Knowing Life Alert was on the line gave me the confidence and courage to save my mother’s life!

I didn’t have Life Alert on my first fall. Next, I fell getting out of the shower. I pressed the Life Alert button. They called everyone on the list. It worked fast! I couldn’t hear the man who answered the call since I was in the bathroom. But help came right away.

I am truly glad to have Life Alert!! I had severe side pain (right side) on December 14, 2015. I could barely walk! I could not sit nor could I drive myself to the hospital! I was hurting terribly bad and the least movement made me holler and cry at 78 years old! I pressed my necklace and was in contact with Life Alert immediately! An ambulance was at my house in less than fifteen minutes. My daughter was very pleased with the way she was contacted.

I had walked into the garage to check on my trash barrel -- leaning on things to get around and one gave way and down I went. I knew I had to press my Life Alert button and did so. I could not hear them and managed to scoot myself back into the laundry room. Then I could hear and they were very quick and helpful -- sending firemen to help me get up.

Life Alert had the equipment I needed and got me to the emergency room on time. December 10, 2014, I had a hard seizure while I was ironing out some clothes and passed out on the floor with the iron still in my hand. My arm (right) had third degree burns on it when I came to. Thanks for saving my life again. May God bless all.

On August 23, 2015, I went outside in my yard to take sunflower seeds to refill my bird feeder. There is a raised strip along one side of my house that is difficult to maneuver-just below the feeder. Somehow, I lost my balance approaching it and fell forward. I knew I had hurt myself but didn’t know for certain just where. I attempted to get the attention of neighbors driving by to no avail. Then suddenly I thought of my Life Alert bracelet and pushed the button—though unsure it would work outside. The ambulance arrived and took me to the hospital emergency room. The ambulance attendants said that Life Alert said he didn’t talk to me but heard my TV on, so knew I must be close. Many thanks for rescuing me!

My father took a fall two days prior, told me that he is in pain and could not move. Believing he had broken his hip, had to call Life Alert to send an ambulance to take my father to the hospital. Life Alert agent was very helpful and not only got help for my dad but also contacted my sister of the situation.

I was warming a pan of soup on the stove. I turned the burner on and left the room. The pan boiled dry and burned black and caused a lot of smoke in my apartment (no fire), just smoke causing the Life Alert fire alarm to go off. The phone rang and it was Life Alert checking to see if I was okay. Life Alert heard the alarm through the Life Alert box on my table. They told me they called the Fire Department and police. They came right away and checked everything. No damage. Thank you, Life Alert for what you did for me. I definitely will never be without Life Alert.

Once the Life Alert button is pressed, the dispatch went out. In little time help was on the way. The Life Alert operator stayed with her until help arrived and her contacts were all notified. Thanks for all the assistance given to her.

On January 6, 2016, I fell in my bathroom at 5:30 AM. My Life Alert helpers were here immediately to calm me. The ambulance was here very soon. I didn’t want to go to the hospital because later in the day I had an appointment with my doctor. He told me to do no work and to rest. I got out on my recliner a little after 6:00 PM and fell again. This time I did go to the hospital. I was in the hospital the following Sunday evening. And following Thursday evening, I opened my freezer door and things started to fall out as I tried to stop them. I lost balance; and the ambulance and one lady came. But I refused to go to hospital.

Before we had even paid our first month bill, mom fell and used Life Alert. Life Alert may have saved her life. I was going out of town to work and visited her in the morning before I left. I told her to push the Life Alert button. My work situation changes, so around 4 p.m., I went back by her house. I called her when I opened the front door, then heard the Life Alert person speaking. I went upstairs--mom was on the floor in her bedroom. She’d fallen and broken her collar bone. She’d remember what I told her and pushed the Life Alert button and had been talking to Life Alert. The fire and police departments arrived a minute later. It was amazing!

Life Alert saved my son, myself and our four cats. My son started the oven for pizza then the carbon monoxide alarms went off. Life Alert told us that the fire department was on its way and we should get out of the house. It was determined that our stove was letting off enough emissions to cause a small explosion. Then when the gas company came. They determined the problem was a covering on the bottom of the oven. My son and I were just fine except for my headache. Thank you so much—all of us would not have woken the next morning! God Bless.

My husband fell on the floor and could not get up. I was sleeping in another room and he did not let me know. Life Alert called my cellphone number and alerted me to let me know that my husband fell on the floor. Thank God for Life Alert.

At the moment, family members thought their mother was having a stroke. She wasn’t alert for a moment, but she was okay. No stroke. After being checked, she was in great shape. Thanks to Life Alert for being on time and calling afterwards. Thank you.

I had a heart attack in 2009 and a stroke in April 2015, was put on warfarin and started bleeding in my urine in late December. I used my Life Alert in each instance and was attended to immediately and taken to emergency. Life Alert staff was excellent in each instance and my contact personnel were notified instantly.

My mother had fallen during the night and could not get to the phone to call me for help. She used her Life Alert, but she was too far from box to be able to hear and communicate with them. I unfortunately did not hear my home phone ring and Life Alert called all cellphone numbers. With no response, Life Alert called an ambulance. We received messages and help was here when we arrived. Life Alert followed up with another call to be sure I had received message. Thank you so much!

My husband is 88 years old and had a very bad cold and cough; and after coughing, he couldn’t breathe. I called Life Alert quickly for help. It was 4:00 AM. A girl answered immediately and told me to hang on, help was on its way. It seemed like only a few minutes' help was here. There were two men to help us. They were so kind and helpful. My husband was given prescriptions and medications at the hospital. Also, x-rays and then let him go home. I thank you, Life Alert, from the heart for being so kind and alert to help us.

I had fallen on Christmas day and scraped my elbow. I thought it all healed but at 10:00 p.m., it started bleeding and couldn’t stop it. I used my Life Alert and within minutes, paramedics were here and stopped the bleeding. I have Von Williebrand disease. Glad I had Life Alert. I already told someone before I received this letter about the coverage that Life Alert stayed on line until paramedics arrived. Thanks Life Alert.

My 96 year old mother in-law fell in her home and was unable to get up. Life Alert called me and the first responders and stayed on the phone with her until we arrived. Life Alert later called back to check on her condition and to ask if she was alright and she was. Life Alert is helpful and without them my mother in-law would probably not be able to live at home by herself. Thank you and God bless you.

Mom was outside doing what someone else should have been doing when she fell backwards and hit her head on a large wooden box. She didn’t black-out but started calling for me. Finally, she realized I couldn’t hear her so she pressed her Life Alert and Life Alert called me. I was over there in 30 seconds, but I couldn’t lift her so I just told her to be patient because the ambulance was almost there. Then EMTs picked her up and got her into the ambulance and to the hospital. They put six staples in her head, but she was fine and everyone was very good to her. I thank Life Alert for acting so fast and getting help so soon.

My heart rate was very low and my blood pressure was unsteady. I had to have the nurse from the health care company take a look at me. She determined that I needed to get to the hospital right away. I pushed my Life Alert button and the representative came on the line right away. The nurse talked to Life Alert and told him what the problem was. The gentleman kept assuring me that help was on the way. He kept me calm. He didn’t hang up with me until he talked to the nurse and paramedics. Life Alert kept me calm in an emergency.

On December 26th at about 3:00 a.m. I did fall and couldn’t get up. I pushed the Life Alert button on my wrist band and immediately got a response. In a very short time, two wonderful men came in and got me on my feet and attended to a scrape on my elbow. It was a positive experience and I feel more confident now that I have seen how Life Alert works. Thank you!

I am glad that I have Life Alert. If I didn’t, I might not be here writing this. Life Alert saved me twice. Help was here in five minutes to get me up. I don’t know how or why I fell, but I am glad I have Life Alert to depend on. Life Alert even called after everything was over to find out how I am doing.

My mother fell backwards out of her tub. Her bathroom door and bedroom doors closed. So the Life Alert dispatcher could not hear her response. EMS was dispatched immediately to my mother’s residents. I was contacted three times. Once, to let me know her pendant was activated and there was no response. Again when EMS arrived. And again when EMS was transporting her to the hospital. Life Alert dispatchers have always been very excellent.

My mother fell and was not wearing her Life Alert pendant. She was able to reach a phone and was able to call me. I, in turn, called Life Alert. I called Life Alert because they follow up with what is happening and keep me informed. If I were to call 911 directly, I would never know what happened to my mother. Was she injured? Hospitalized? Life Alert answered all those questions.

I fell backwards and landed on a wood floor after having a dizzy spell. I pressed my Life Alert button because I couldn’t get up. Life Alert operator notified our emergency people. EMTs came and picked me up and took me to the hospital.

My husband fell when he got up to go to the bathroom around 2:00 a.m. He was unable to get himself up from the floor nor was I. He pushed his Life Alert button and within five minutes, Life Alert had help at our home. The responders picked him up, checked him over carefully, walked him around the bedroom, and saw he was okay and he returned him to bed and he slept.

I have bad balance and was reaching out the front door to get my newspaper with a grabber while holding on to a storm door. Just finished raining and the deck was slippery. Got feet tangled up and fell down. I used my Life Alert pendant and received immediate service. Life Alert operator stayed on the line with me until EMS got here which was quickly. I have used this service many times and always had prompt attention.

It was a stupid fall on my part (aren’t they always!) and I simply couldn’t get up! From the moment I contacted Life Alert, I felt safe. I no longer felt scared and alone. It turned into a fun experience - I actually laughed with Life Alert - until then, I hadn’t laughed for a long, long time!

My husband fell and I could not get him up. Life Alert called the paramedics. They came and got him up. Later that night, he was in severe pain. I called Life Alert again. The paramedics came here again and took him to the hospital.

My mother fell over and twisted her knee and leg. She could not walk and I could not get her up to take to the hospital. I had to call for Life Alert and get an ambulance to take her to the hospital emergency room. I called Life Alert with her button--they were great. Had an ambulance here in ten minutes to get her. Life Alert stayed on the machine with me until they arrived. Then called back to check on her. I am very grateful for Life Alert services. The people that work at Life Alert are great and very helpful. Thanks for being there and so caring.

Last February 2015, I came home after surgery. My foot in a cast and riding a knee walker. I have replaced knees (metal), and I ran across half of the room and fell on to the floor. When I awoke, I pushed my Life Alert button on my “help call” and they responded. Paramedics came to my door within minutes and told me I was still drugged from surgery. Paramedics got me up, and put my foot high on the couch and told me to stay there.

I was getting supper and my knees gave out. I was on the walker at the time I fell, it didn’t help. I couldn’t get up. I crawled to the Life Alert white box after I pressed the Life Alert button around my neck. They were really helpful and EMTs were here in ten minutes. Life Alert stayed on the phone with me until help arrived. The EMTs got me up, even put the food back in the fridge and brought in my mail, which I appreciated, and waited until I was on my feet.

I took a fall in my garage and I could not get up. My legs would not work. I hit the Life Alert button. I heard the base unit talking to me, but I don’t know how much Life Alert heard. In about five minutes, the fire truck arrived! In another two minutes, the ambulance, paramedics/EMTs arrived. They used the lock box on the front door to gain access. And by another five or six minutes, I was in the ambulance. In another five minutes or so, I was in the emergency room. Thanks.

Smoke detector in home alarmed Life Alert and they called family members and the fire department. My mom had left the stove on and it caused smoke. We are so glad Life Alert detected this and made calls before it got worse.

After having hip replacement three years ago, I was a good candidate for a dislocated hip. Sure enough, I bent over the wrong way in my closet and fell flat with a dislocated hip. My hip bone was sticking out about 12”. I could not move. I pressed the Life Alert button and the response was immediate. Life Alert called EMT and told them where the key was. EMT arrived soon and found me in the closet completely disabled. They put me on a gurney and transported me. I live alone unable to get to the phone. Who knows how long I would have been lying there. Thank you, Life Alert.
