While we were away from the house, an empty paint can and oily rags outside in my yard ignited from the extreme heat and caught fire. The smoke from this fire entered the house and set off the smoke detector. The Life Alert technician called me on my cell phone in time for the fire personnel to arrive and put out the fire with a minimum of damage.

I had a black eye and it was swollen shut for a while. Life Alert was very helpful.

My husband called me to the computer room where he was sitting in his easy chair in front of the computer. I recognized an emergency sort of sound in his voice. He asked me what is happening, and that he didn't remember anything. I was a bit puzzled but he immediately paused in his speech for a few seconds and then he started talking again. After the third pause, I pressed the button on his emergency Life Alert necklace. An operator immediately came on the line and I asked for an ambulance as my husband was going in and out of consciousness. They answered and said they called an ambulance and it would be here soon. Within a few minutes one was at the door. My husband was taken to the hospital and eventually had a pacemaker put in. I truly appreciate how fast Life Alert responded and helped when I called.

My wife fell breaking her arm and possibly fracturing her neck. This was her third fall in about two months. In each situation, the Life Alert operator was prompt, attentive and thorough. At the time of the most recent fall, the operator was especially helpful with follow up calls. We never have had a negative experience with the Life Alert personnel.

I am very grateful that my father had Life Alert for the last 5 years. On numerous occasions Life Alert responded to dad's call for help by simply pressing his necklace with the Life Alert button. I believe that if we had not had Life Alert, things could have been much more serious for dad. Thank you.

I had slipped getting onto a truck as it is high. My foot slipped and I tore the skin on my left leg and it bled a lot. I decided I needed help as I live alone. I called Life Alert and they had the ambulance here quickly. They decided I needed to go to the hospital, but I did not need any stitches - I was only patched up and sent home.

Recently, I fell returning from going to my mailbox. I realized I had injured the side of my face, and was bleeding. None of my neighbors were outside, but I realized that I had on my Life Alert. I pushed the button and the EMTs and ambulance were here very soon. Thank goodness I have Life Alert. I may have not had help for a long time.

I fell off the toilet seat and couldn't get up. The paramedics were here in less than 5 minutes and I was on the way to the hospital. I highly recommend Life Alert to anyone living alone, no matter what your age is. They are wonderful.

On 8-12-12 I had a TIA. I pressed my Life Alert neck alarm. It was answered immediately and they notified my son and the necessary medical ambulance came within 10 minutes. I was transported to the hospital quickly. The ambulance personnel and Life Alert were very professional.

Thank God Life Alert came. When they told me my blood pressure was so very high and I should be in the hospital, I argued with them and refused to go. I commend them for staying with me a very long time until they were absolutely sure I would be ok. They deserve a medal for putting up with me. God Bless them.

Life Alert remained on the phone until the ambulance arrived. They later checked to see if family member's transition to hospital went smoothly. Operators where professional and courteous during conversations.

I had a horrible headache and my blood pressure was going up, up, up. When it got to 190, I called Life Alert. They called EMS and 2 of my contacts. The operator stayed with me until the paramedics arrived. I was so grateful. When EMS arrived, my blood pressure has spiked to 270. I spent the night in the hospital. Life Alert was a life saver. Thank you.

My mother fell in the kitchen and could not get up. She pushed the Life Alert button on her neck. The dispatcher talked to her calmly and assured her help was on the way and her family had been notified. The dispatcher stayed on the phone until help arrived. They got mom up and made sure she was alright before leaving. They also notified Life Alert she was alright.

Life Alert saved my dad's life twice. Once when he went into septic shock and they got him to the hospital emergency trauma unit quickly. Another time when they alerted him of a fire in the basement from a faulty oil heating unit. Thank you for the peace of mind you provide.

I tripped and fell in the den area of my home. I was living by myself and I could not get up, so I pushed my red button and immediately I was in contact with a nice gentleman from Life Alert. He had an ambulance for me in about 15 minutes. I was not injured, just two bleeding cuts. Thanks.

I got up from my chair and all of a sudden I felt myself going down and hit the floor. I was able to get into a sitting position but could not roll over and landed on my knees. This is very painful (arthritis). I could not get hold of anything to pull myself up on. I pressed the Life Alert button and help came quite quickly. The EMTs even tested my blood for low sugar and everything was okay.

I sleep in an electric recliner. During the night, the chair control slipped through the chair back where I couldn't reach it. I tried to get out of the extended recliner and slid onto the floor, unhurt. I couldn't get up so I pressed the Life Alert button. Police came and easily lifted me up. Thank you.

I went out on my deck to fix my carpet; I tripped and fell hitting my head on the side of the house. I was knocked out for I don't know how long. When I came too I thought of my Life Alert, and within 5 minutes the first truck pulled up and he came right to the deck. Then, the first aid fireman and police were there. They offered to take me to the hospital as I might have a concussion. I said no, so they stayed with me until they knew I was ok and safe in the house. Thank you, Life Alert.

I'm on oxygen 24/7. When I tried one of my small oxygen tanks, it was empty so I pushed my Life Alert button. When the paramedics arrived, they brought another tank for me. Later I called and got a new oxygen container. Life Alert saved my life.

I was in my bedroom. I had a chest drawer against the wall, and a big recliner was between the chest and my bed. I was straightening out drawers and had the bottom drawer pulled out. I reached down to pick up a scarf and lost my balance, and fell down on the drawer causing the chest to fall toward me. The chair kept it from crushing me. Pressed the button for Life Alert and help arrived immediately.

I started up steps, both hands occupied. I started up step 1 and on 2nd one I lost my balance, couldn't catch myself. I went backwards flat on my back, my hands still full. I couldn't get up so I punched my Life Alert button. About 6-7 firemen arrived to help me. They checked my blood rate and everything turned out ok.

I was in the bathroom trying to fix a leak in the faucet. I was practically lying down and I couldn't get up. I scooted to the kitchen dining room and still couldn't get up. Tried for almost 2 hours, then my wife called Life Alert and they got me up in no time. Thank you.

I fell in the yard. I called Life Alert and they called the paramedics. Without Life Alert, I could have laid in the yard for hours. Life Alert has been a very good service to me and I recommended Life Alert to many people.

My husband fell and cracked his pelvic. Our security wanted to call 911 but he had refused. They placed him in his recliner but after a couple of hours decided he wanted me to use the Life Alert button. They answered immediately and stayed on the line until help arrived and that we were in good hands. Thank you.

I awoke at 11:00 p.m. with a very high fever (104). I pushed my Life Alert transmitter button and the console lady began to talk with me. She kept telling me that she was with me and would not leave me until help arrived. The ambulance was here in only a few minutes, and they were very helpful in getting me ready to go to the hospital.

My mother fell in the kitchen and had no one here with her. She alerted Life Alert and they responded immediately and sent someone out to help her. They are always prompt and courteous and I would highly recommend them to anyone living alone.

The hem of my jeans caught on a partially opened lower cabinet door, causing me to lose my balance. I fell and hit my head very hard. Life Alert responded excellently. I was assured help would be here quickly and they were. The ambulance arrived in about 7 minutes, and took me to the emergency room. Conclusion, I broke my arm but no concussion. I am healing nicely. I'm so glad that I have Life Alert.

As I put the car in the garage at 1:30 p.m. on 8-6-12, I saw the mailman approaching. I put the car in park, applied emergency brake, and inadvertently left the motor running. The garage door was left up until I put it down with the remote at 9:30 p.m. At 12:30 a.m. Life Alert told me to get out of the house, the carbon monoxide alarm activated and the fire department was called. You saved my life and I thank you for that.

I have used the Life Alert twice once on 2/19/12 when I fell and broke my hip. I was in my bedroom and couldn't get up; it was 7 a.m. on a Sunday morning. Thank God for Life Alert. The second time was not too long ago. I slipped out of my bed and was on the floor but did not have enough strength to get up. Once again Life Alert came to my aid. Thank you.

My uncle is 90 years old and has trouble getting out of his chair. One day he had slipped down to the floor and couldn't get up. He pushed the button on his Life Alert pendant and paramedics arrived very soon after. Thanks.

I am only able to walk with a walker and can't manage steps. I had gone out on my back porch down a step and I couldn't get back in the house, as I couldn't manage to go up the step to get in my house from the back porch. So, I called Life Alert to come and get me in my house or I would have been locked on my porch all night.
