We did not go with Life Alert. The Rep was arrogant, using scare tactics and stating if we went with anyone else, anything that happened to our mother was on us. The pricing is astronomical too. Asking about the $49.95 amount and Rep said that is on the internet and it’s 10 year old pricing info. No impressed with attitude.
We’re sorry you feel you had a bad experience with us. As the only medical alert company proven to save a life every 11 minutes, our pricing is quite reasonable considering all that our customers receive from us, such as, devices that never need charging; a technical service dept. that monitors the equipment; our own dispatch center that is fully trained and HIPAA compliant; but more importantly, our ability to get our customers help fast, 24/7.
