    On May 1st, I tripped and fell on the step of my front door and there was nothing around to give me the strength to get up. I pressed my Life Alert button and the lady dispatcher was very efficient. She got the EMT’s to me promptly, called my neighbor who had a key, and my son to inform him. Four EMT’s and my neighbor were here in no time. I had no serious injuries, just a small cut on my elbow. I’m so pleased with Life Alert and feel comforted that I can press the button and get help whenever I need it, 24 hours a day. I wear my pendant at all times. I have had Life Alert service for four years since my husband passed away, but this was my first time needing to use it. I am so pleased with Life Alert. Thank you for your promptness.

    Your representative Kevin ** hung up on me, & told me not to call back when I told him his conversations were scripted. On EACH of 3 calls he repeated... "Calls are routed through an outside company, and if I wanted I could order a George Foreman grill from them while placing the emergency call." He repeated things they do that others don't. I continued to tell him I took good notes on my 1st call, and didn't need him to repeat it again. He insisted he wasn't a salesman because he didn't get paid more if I purchased & took offense when I called him one. He may represent the company, but not in a friendly manner. He put down the other devices, while trying to push Life Alert. I get that, but he was rude. I asked about the brochure that I called about on the 1st call (still didn't get it). On the 1st & 3rd call he told me that it had nothing of interest, just a few pictures and things as seen online.

    It was as though they didn't want to pay the postage to send it with the way he tried to talk me out of wanting to see it before making a decision. When he ended the call he said, "you're not listening to me, so don't ever call again," & he hung up!! I was listening, but told him I was dealing with a death in the family within the call, and was getting frustrated with his repeated conversations. He hung up when I said it was scripted.

    We are sorry that Nancy of Inver Grove Heights feels that our Care Manager was rude. We were able to listen to the initial call and found our rep to be knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. Yes, our Care Managers do tend to repeat vital information because when a customer shops around for a medical alert device, they tend to go with the cheapest, which is not a good idea when you are trusting a company with saving your life. We hope that Nancy of Inver Grove Heights will find the right medical alert system for her needs.

    I wish I could give Life Alert NEGATIVE STARS. In September 2017, I ordered Life Alert for my aunt because she lives by herself in a one-bedroom apartment and I wanted her to feel safe and able to contact an emergency hotline 24/7 if she ever faced a medical emergency. At first, the Life Alert employees were very nice and polite while they helped me set up the system. However, on December 24 2017, my aunt randomly got a phone call from Life Alert asking her, “Do you have an emergency?” Life Alert got a translator on the phone and asked her again in Arabic (her native language), “Do you have an emergency?” and my aunt immediately said, “No, I’m perfectly fine. I’m not sure why you are calling. Thank you. All is fine.” My aunt had never pressed the Life Alert button to begin with.

    About an hour later, Life Alert sent someone who came to her apartment and KICKED DOWN her door! My aunt was peacefully sleeping in her bedroom on Christmas Eve when Life Alert broke into her house and practically scared her half to death. Furthermore, Life Alert’s emergency responder broke my aunt’s apartment door and the apartment management company is charging my aunt $500 in broken door damages. My aunt was completely terrified and immediately unplugged the Life Alert system and has not used it since that day. My aunt is simply asking to cancel the service because she no longer uses it.

    When I called Life Alert to ask them to cancel the service, Life Alert refused, claiming “You are contractually obligated to stay with our service for three years and pay the $49.95 monthly fee all the way through September 2020.” Not only is my aunt completely terrified of Life Alert because they broke into her home after she specifically told them that “everything was fine,” but now she is being charged $500 because of Life Alert’s damages to her door and they want to charge her $49.95 monthly for the three years (49.95 X 36 months = $1,798.20!!!) for a system that she definitely will never use. Life Alert is refusing to cancel the contract and furthermore is refusing to pay for the $500 of damages after kicking/breaking down my aunt’s door.

    Furthermore, if your elderly loved ones do not speak English, do not trust Life Alert’s translators because they did not understand when my aunt said “everything is fine” and they still came to her apartment and broke down her door. Please be careful of signing up with a company that does not respect the elderly and is blindly robbing elderly of their dignity and rights.

    Response from Life Alert

    All of our calls are recorded for quality assurance. We performed a thorough investigation which resulted in the following:

    We received an emergency signal from our customer. We called the customer to ask if she had an emergency, she repeated the word “emergency” and then hung up. Per our legal commitment to our customer, we contacted emergency services and relayed the information verbatim adding that there was a language barrier and that we were not sure whether there was an actual emergency or not. We proceeded to call the responsible contact person for this account but there was no answer. We left a voice mail explaining exactly what happened. Had that person called the family member and verified her wellness, and then contacted us back, we could have attempted to cancel the dispatch.

    Life Alert responded appropriately and timely to an emergency signal. We have no control or authority over the local emergency response departments in our customers’ counties. When a customer joins the Life Alert family we make every effort to work with them regarding gaining access to the home, such as giving a lockbox combination to the authorities so they can gain access. Although we do have a variety of dispatchers who speak various languages, we do not guarantee they will be available to speak to the customer and we do not have translators on staff; the complainant is mistaken in many of his accusations towards Life Alert.

    Reviewed March 30, 2018

    I purchased the system for my mom, recently recovering from multiple strokes. System set-up, installation everything went great, system up and running. As it turns out my mom also became eligible for Medicare Services approximately 3 months into the contract. Medicare provides their own system and monitoring. This is not an option for Medicare. You have to use their system. She now gets 7 days a week visit and assistance with 24/7 monitoring. I called and spoke with retention that my mom's situation has changed and no longer need the service understanding I'm out the $198 for the equipment and install. As it turns out I'm also obligated for another approximate $2,895.

    My perception when sold to me was if her circumstances change I could cancel. Circumstances defined is in a nursing home. Retention Dept wasn't rude but certainly not flexible at all. Read through many other reviews and I'm sure Life Alerts responses are justified in some cases but very very defensive overall. Not sure what to do here; have attorney reviewing contract which I'm sure is locked solid so I'll be out $3k. Not happy at all and certainly will not recommend unless they work something out that is fair. Lesson learned, folks have an out or choose someone else because "life" does happen with no flexibility. Life Alert - when you respond let me know how much to send for closure to this colossal mistake I made. Thanks much.

    Response from Life Alert

    Life Alert understands that circumstances change with our customers, that is why we have a cancellation clause that states if our customer has to go into a nursing home or receives 24/7 professional nursing care, we will immediately cancel the account without any penalties. Unfortunately, that is not the case with this account – as getting another medical alert system does not qualify for cancellation.

    More importantly, medical alert systems are not all equal. A free system does not mean it is a quality system or that the emergency dispatch center will be able to get your mother help fast, 24/7. Whereas, Life Alert has a legal obligation to assist your mother. Here is a link to a sample of the many people who have switched from a previous system to join the security of Life Alert. http://www.lifealert.com/lifealertbetterservice.aspx

    We truly hope to give this family peace of mind in knowing that their loved one is being taken care of by Life Alert, the leader and inventor of the medical alert industry, and that we are #1 in saving lives.

    If you need further assistance, please email us at wecare@lifealert with your mother’s name and number, so we can have a representative contact you.

    Sincerely,

    Life Alert

    I was choking at home alone. Pressed my Life Alert wrist button, could barely speak. The Life Alert operator stayed on the line with me until paramedics arrived.

    I fell in the house. My balance is very bad and so are my knees. I cannot get up from the floor by myself. They are always there to help me. Wouldn’t be alive if it wasn’t for Life Alert. Thank you.

    I’ve had to use Life Alert many times. The experience is always good as was this last one when I had a mild heart attack, and I reached the hospital before it became serious.

    My mother is 100 years old and lives by herself. She was baking and somehow she couldn’t turn the oven off, therefore it was getting hot more and more. She pushed her panic button and Life Alert went to work on her behalf. The firemen came and pulled the oven from the wall and unplugged it. Praise God for them. It really could have been a terrible situation. Thank you, Life Alert, for being there.

    My dad dropped the remote control for the TV and tried to get it, and accidentally fell out of bed and couldn’t get up. Police and EMTs came, found the hidden key, and got him back up. No hospitalization was needed. The response from Life Alert was very good. I was also called and met them at the house.

    Twice I have fallen outside my house. If I hadn’t had my Life Alert in my pocket I would have had to lie there for a long time until someone came along and found me. I pushed the button and was surprised on how soon help came to me. Thanks so very much for Life Alert!!!

    I woke up having trouble breathing and coughing, and I called my heart doctor and he told me to call 911 and get to the hospital. I pressed my Life Alert and they responded and called the ambulance and in no time they were here. Life Alert stayed on the phone and my granddaughter said they called and let her know what was going on and kept her informed which she really appreciated. I am fine now but I had congestive heart failure, pneumonia, and a mild heart attack. Thank you for the fast response.

    I’m very weak and when I fall I can’t pull myself up, so I rang my button and they came fast and are really nice and very kind to me even when I fall and don’t hurt myself. I don’t mind calling because I know they will be nice and kind to an old 91 year old lady.

    I am very happy to wear a Life Alert pendant. I have called it on several occasions. The operator on all occasions have been very helpful and stayed with me until help came. I feel “never alone” -- good feeling.

    Make sure you read all the fine print on the contract or you will be paying monthly for a very long time. Save and document all correspondence because the people who work are not very nice. Bottom line stay away and pick a different system.

    Response from Life Alert

    It is always a good idea to read any contract thoroughly before signing. Life Alert goes over the details of the agreement with the customer two times before mailing the agreement to be read and signed at the convenience of the customer’s home. The agreement is only 1 page (two-sided) and has the main terms of the agreement in large, bold font so our elderly customers can clearly see, read, and understand the terms before signing.

    More importantly, our service agreement is Life Alert’s Price Protection, which guarantees that there are no hidden fees or price hikes for the duration of use, unlike the different system companies which raise prices at will. Also, the service agreement makes Life Alert fiducially responsible to get our customers help. Life Alert takes pride in protecting our customers and allowing them to live in their own homes independently.

    I had a bad fall and my head was bleeding badly – fortunately my niece was here at the time (as I live alone) I could not press the Life Alert button because of the position I fell in, so she had to do so. I ended up in the trauma center as my head was bleeding inside – I am lucky to be alive!
