    It's hard and stressful enough when your elderly frail parent has multiple falls and vertebrae fractures. Then, to deal with a rude and unprofessional company like Life Alert just compounds the problem. My sister researched this company a year ago. The salesman was very smooth, polite, patient, answered all her questions. After we signed up, they kept calling us over and over again, asking for the same information. What really raised a red flag for me, was I very carefully gave them her credit card info over the phone, and they repeated it back to me. Several days later, they called again asking to verify the credit card info!!! They started installing equipment in her home before we even had a chance to review the contract. They didn't inform her in advance of the delivery date for the equipment. My mother disagreed with some terms in the contract.

    I called to cancel the service. The man started to tell me my mother had to push the call button. I had to tell him that it wasn't fully installed, as there was still a package waiting to be picked up from the post office from Life Alert. She only had some of the required equipment. The man on the phone was extremely rude to me and started shouting at me and wouldn't even let me finish telling him the situation. This company is very pushy and aggressive and does not at all operate in a professional manner. Look elsewhere. I would never trust my mother's life to a company like this. Very bad.

    Response from Life Alert

    The elderly are a protected class and Life Alert is under the strictest guidelines to ensure our customers are aware of all their options, costs, and terms. It is this kind of careful consideration, along with our cutting-edge lifesaving technology, and customer service that makes Life Alert the industry leader and the most trusted brand in personal protection.

    The issues the complainant raises in her complaint are not true.

    All of our calls are recorded for quality assurance and we have recordings verifying the complainant was notified three (3) times regarding the cost and terms of our agreement. We advised her of the price and terms of the agreement on the day when she first spoke with a representative, and then again when the order was placed, and lastly we confirmed everything again with her on the day of shipping. Per the complainant’s own admission -- she was upset that we kept calling her to go over the same information. There also appears to have been a credit card problem which generated another call to the customer.

    Approximately 2:am, my mom fell when getting out of bed to get on her scooter to go to the bathroom. She was not hurt anywhere, but I couldn't get her up off the floor. We pressed her Life Alert button on her necklace. The Life Alert operator was very helpful and stayed on the line until the fire department arrived. Life Alert provides a very valuable service for our mom and we appreciate knowing she has it. Thank you.

    I started the fireplace on Sunday afternoon and it started smoking. We realized the clamper wasn't opened fully. We provided water on the logs and thought they were completely out. We were in the home all the rest of the afternoon on Sunday and even that night until about midnight. The next morning, we heard our fire alarm going off and the room was full of bellowing smoke again. Life Alert called the firemen and my neighbors to alert all of them. Thank you.

    I woke up about 4:15 to 4:30am to go to the bathroom. My phone was too far from my bed. My arms and legs were limp I couldn't even hold on to my walker. I didn't want to fall. So, I pushed my Life Alert button. EMTs were here very quickly! My sugar was very low! EMTs gave liquid glucose; it helped. I found out later I had infection. I live alone. Life Alert saved my life. It has paid for itself!

    Mom fell outside in my yard. She pressed the Life Alert button for help. A bit dazed, she was thinking she would hear the Life Alert voice from her wrist alarm. However, a neighbor helped her up into the house. By the time they got in the house, paramedics were knocking on the door. Thank you, Life Alert. This is an amazing product. It is a calming feeling to know she has an immediate call for help.

    I have had to use my device twice in the past 6 mos. My first event was after a fall and I could have walked to the hospital faster than they responded! The second event occurred after I ate and choked on baby back ribs. The piece was lodged in my esophagus for 7 hours. When LifeAlert notified my 87 yo mother, they told her it was a suspected heart attack and scared her to death. I can no longer live on my own and wanted to return the equipment but LA refused. They would not give me an address.

    Response from Life Alert

    All of our calls are recorded for quality assurance, and our emergency signals are automatically time/date stamped.

    For the 1st emergency, the Dispatcher obtained the information of a possible stroke, or Bell’s palsy episode, and was dispatching help within 2 minutes of receiving the signal. The Paramedics were on scene 12 minutes after receiving the signal. There was no mention of a fall during this call as she stated in the complaint.

    The second emergency - the dispatcher was told that, “I think I’m having a heart attack!” Complainant stated that she was having chest pains and is clammy, she did not say she was choking on ribs. The information was relayed to her mother as it was provided to the Dispatcher by the complainant.

    In Dec of 2016, the complainant called us regarding assisting her financially with her monthly cost, which we were able to do. Now she wants to cancel. She hasn’t paid her bill in 3 months, is avoiding our calls and letters, and is now posting false complaints about us.

    I was asleep. I sleep under oxygen and wear a CPAP mask every night. I was awaken by this loud noise. I did not know what it was at first, I thought it was the smoke alarm. I checked it and it was not. Then I touched my Life Alert to see if I touched it by mistake. But the Life Alert lady came on asking what was going on. I told her I don't know, she said I hear the beeping and I looked over and it was my oxygen machine. Life Alert said they had alerted someone and they were on their way out and she would stay on line until they arrived. She did and was very concern. I thanked her for her patience and kindness. May God Bless her. I thank God for having Life Alert!

    I was sleeping upstairs and had an episode. My heart was racing. I woke up from a deep sleep and tried to get out of bed and I passed out. I fell down banging my nose and forehead. When I woke up, I tried to call my wife for help. She finally heard me and I told her to call 911. She returned and told me she couldn't get them. I knew she had the Life Alert button, so I told her to push the button. Life Alert came on right away and I finally got help. I don't know what I would have done without my wife's Life Alert button.
