Philips Lifeline

I've been short of breath ever since I took a pill in 2002 and it tore my lungs up. My daughter suggested to get a Philips. She researched them and she thought Philips was the best one for me. She ordered it and I wear it around my neck 24 hours a day. It's handy if I fall and I could get help right away. The only problem I have with it is that it would go off by itself. It has went off by itself twice. The other morning at 4 o’clock, it went off and they thought I had fallen, but I hadn’t. I talked to the operator then, and she kept asking if I fell and I said no and that I was in bed asleep. But overall, I'm satisfied with it.

The Philips Lifeline team do a reset every month. They are also very helpful. If I have questions, I call. I looked into getting a medical alert device as my mother-in-law can't hear. Also, she was having trouble falling. Since I liked what Philips Lifeline had to offer, I went with them. It works the way it is supposed to work. It has gone off a couple times and the police would be here right away. I’ve already recommended Philips to other people.

When we looked around and found out about Philips Lifeline, it seemed like the best way to go. With the fall detection, they pick up on it when I'm halfway to the floor. I’ve had it for four years and I haven’t had to push the button because of that feature. It just goes on and detects a fall. At that point, I'm usually just waiting for somebody to come and I don't pay much attention to anything else. I'm also not too far from the police station down here, so they get here really quick.

My family got me the Philips LifeLine after I had several accidents falling. I’ve used it a couple times and their team responded and were very polite. Though last time, what happened was weird. I got a phone call from my daughter and my daughter-in-law saying that they had been called by LifeLine. It said that they should come over here because I had an emergency. I had no idea what that was about because I didn’t have any emergency. And I couldn't imagine that I accidentally pushed the button on this thing because I wear it around my wrist and it is recessed in there. Also, I don’t like that procedure. If they are gonna call my daughter before they call for help for me, I would think that was backwards.

I’ve had the Lifeline for quite some time and I've been very happy with it. Right now I’m a shut-in as I’m confined to my bed. We're starting therapy so I’m wearing it today. A couple of times I’ve fallen, but thank God the Lifeline team has been there for me. I need them and I have used them on occasion. The response time was unbelievable and they waited on the phone with me until the paramedics got here. The reps have been very cooperative, kind and considerate. I'm 100% satisfied and I have recommended it highly to everybody.

I got a medical alert device from Philips because I lived alone and I was getting old. It went off by accident a few times and it took a long time for somebody to get to the phone after I pushed the button. The first time, it took a while for them to come and then it was, "Your medical thing isn't processing." The last time was by accident too, and it took them a long time as well. I hate to think I was waiting for an ambulance all that time, but, it was very comforting knowing that I had it in case I needed it. I did not like to be without it. However, I gave it up because I moved. I'm in a facility where I don't need it.

I have a breathing problem especially at night, so I use my Philips LifeLine. I put it on at night and I wear it during the day. Having it has made me very confident. When I tested the device, the response time and the reps I dealt with were very good. I'm very happy with it.

My mother was alone and she was falling. My niece is a nurse and she decided to use Philips for my mother. Having it has been very helpful. Anytime my mother hits it, they always call. She wears the device 24/7 and she feels good about it. Whether they can reach her or not, they call my number and they always make sure the ambulance is on the way if she needs one.

After researching, we opted to go with Lifeline's Go Safe 2 for our mom. I called to order and Michael quoted me a price of $44.95 per month (like it says on the website). I specifically asked him if there were any other fees or taxes added on. (I asked him this question because I had read online that Lifeline tacks on extra fees.) He told me "No. It is $44.95 a month." Based on his word, I went ahead and placed the order. Well, my mom gets her first bill and there is an additional $6.27 added onto her bill!!

I’m older, I live alone and I am less able to do some things. And since having Philips Lifeline, I know there’s something there if I’m here by myself. I wear my Lifeline around my neck and everything has been fine. Their team follows up nicely and everything went the way it was supposed to.

I was alone in my home and my children wanted me to have the protection of a medical alert device and to know that I could get help. My daughter researched the Philips Lifeline and this was the one that was best for me. The reason why I got Philips was because it's waterproof. I wear it all the time, even in the shower because it’s waterproof. However, even if it's adjustable I can never get it to the right length because it interrupts with any necklace or anything I have on. I can never get it short enough. I've had to use my Philips Lifeline a couple of times when I fell. Philips contacted me to see if I was alright or I had fallen and if I needed help. I had very good interactions with the reps. They asked me questions and I answered. I told them I had fallen and I needed help so they called for help and the firemen came.

My wife has a lot of medical problems. She's got a heart problem, a kidney problem, rheumatism and she's blind. There was this time when she was sleeping in the spare room bed, fell out and whacked her head on the bureau and had a big gash on her head. We were the only two in the house and I had just come back from shopping when that happened. So, I got a Philips Lifeline medical alert pendant for her which was more convenient for me to make sure that she had something in case I wasn't here.

I had what I call a three-day siesta on my kitchen floor, so my family insisted that I get a Philips Lifeline device. I've used it and the team's response was very quick. But before the battery unit went out, the device seemed a little too sensitive. Even if I got myself up, I wasn't expecting the Lifeline to automatically trigger if I fell or stumbled, so it would go off. When the battery went out, Philips sent a new battery but I really don't have anyone to replace it for me. Still, I continue to wear the device around my neck knowing that if I need it, I can push the button.

I live alone although I live close to my family. They're going out a lot for work, so I thought it would be a bit safer for me to get a Philips Lifeline. I feel safer now that I've got it. I have used my button lately for several times and the Philips team has responded right away. I wear the device around my neck and sometimes it feels uncomfortable but it doesn't really bother me. I'm satisfied with my Philips Lifeline.

I make sure that I have my Philips Lifeline device every day. I used it when I fell a lot of times. I like using it and I'm satisfied with it.

I'm elderly and I live alone. Once, I fell and I thought I ought to have a Philips Lifeline medical alert. I've tested the device and the response was almost immediate. I've been satisfied and I'd recommend Philips Lifeline.

I wear my Lifeline device around my neck and it feels fine. One time, I fell and the Lifeline team responded to my call within minutes. Then they alerted my closest neighbors. I’m satisfied and I’m happy with what I’ve got.

I’m really satisfied with Philips Lifeline. I was really sick and was in the hospital for a while and then, I went to a nursing home and stayed until I was able to go home. And when I got home, I had a medical alert device because a nurse put it in. A man told me that I had a Lifeline and so, I’ve had it ever since. I wear my device around my neck and it’s okay. I’m glad I got it. There was another time that I got sick in the night and I called on the Lifeline and an ambulance came out. They responded fast. The guy who came wanted to know if I could get to the door and I told him I couldn't. I was right by the window where my bed was and he asked if I could raise the window. I told him I could. It was really easy to raise and he also told me to undo the screen. I had undone the screen and he came in through the window. He went in and opened the door. He had a nurse with him and she came in, too, and they carried me to the ER. They were really nice people.

I live by myself, I’m 80 and I have health problems, so my son wanted me to have a medical alert device. The Philips Lifeline reps have been very courteous, polite and concerned. When I’m home, I try to keep the device on but sometimes I take it off because it’s very sensitive. I can't bend too low or it goes off or when I put it on and I’m sleeping, it goes off. However, I'm not overly concerned about anything as I know I’ll get a quick response. If if goes off they respond right away and ask me if I'm okay. I just tell them I'm okay. I've already recommended Philips Lifeline to some people. It's something that would be good to have if they live by themselves and have health problems.

My Philips device doesn’t work in the garden or when I’m shopping. I would have liked to use it elsewhere. There are others that work anywhere. Nevertheless, the device is very comfortable and I wear it all the time. Although it only works at home it works very well.

I’m a fall risk and I've had my medical alert device from Philips Lifeline for three years. I used the device when I had an emergency and their response time was quick. Also, the team at Philips was friendly and courteous. The only thing is I don’t like the idea that it’s gotta be on the landline phone because when the electricity goes off, it doesn’t work. Still, Philips is worth having.

I'm 91 years old and my daughter-in-law got me a Philips Lifeline medical alert device. I wear it around my neck but I don't know how to clean the string. My neck and shoulders are really bad and I put cream on them, and so the string has been getting really dirty. Other than that, I've already used the device several times. The first time was a couple of years ago. I was outside working in the garden when I fell. I scrambled all over and I couldn't get up. Nobody else was around then. I pushed the button and an ambulance came in 10 minutes. I've also fallen several times in the house and they came right away once I passed out. It's been wonderful. I'm a lot more careful now than I used to be. Also, whenever the Philips Lifeline's team call me to see if I was all right, they have been very helpful and nice.

I've had Philips for six years now and it's been wonderful. I have the medicine machine and the button, and I've been very satisfied. I hear other people that have other ones that are always complaining, but I have no complaints. I'd tell them how great Philips is and how much more efficient mine is compared to some of them. I feel very assured of everything.

If I fall in the house and nobody was here, it’s better that I didn’t have to worry about it, so I got the Philips Lifeline device. I got the necklace and the one in the house and I have used it a few times and it has been good. The Philips Lifeline reps respond very quickly. One day, I had it on by mistake and they arrived at my house quickly. I was so embarrassed because the fire trucks came over to my house.

I've had my Philips Lifeline for about five years now, never had to use it but I’ve hit it several times accidentally. And they always respond real quickly. I keep it close to me most times and have introduced it to other people too. I tell them that I've had the service for years and that they need it too since they live by their selves. Also, I've tried to get my insurance to pay for it because I don’t make that much. My doctor even wrote the insurance people a letter and sent in a prescription for it, that the Philips Lifeline would be helpful for me, but my insurance refused to pay for it. But if I had a phone, I didn’t need one.

I was having problems with my balance and my daughter took care of getting the Philips Lifeline for me. I wear it around my neck and they call if they know that I’m having a problem like if I have fallen. I wish that it would work outside though.

I can't live without my Philips Lifeline. I live by myself and I have it for when I fall, and when I do, I'm usually able to push the button and it doesn't take long for the Lifeline team to respond. I tried using the bracelet but it was always going off, so I chose to wear it around my neck. It's comfortable and it doesn't go off so much.

My daughter got me Philips Lifeline and I wear it all the time. Now, I feel safer when I’m alone. Some time ago, I fell on the porch as I was getting the mail in but then the mailman came by and lifted me while I was trying to talk to them. So I came in and told them I was fine. The customer service was great. The only thing I worry about is they call my kids and my kids never answer their phones. I asked them to send a text instead but they said that they can’t do that. I often wonder how it would work if I fell down and knocked out a little bit or if I had a stroke, then I wouldn’t be able to press the button. Still, I’m 97 and I gotta have one, which is the thing to do. So while I haven’t had much experience with it, it seems fine to me. I’m also pleased with it.

When my husband died, I realized that I’m alone and I don't have anyone who would check in on me regularly, and I could fall in the middle of the night and lie there for days before anybody finds me. I have been using Philips Lifeline for a few years and since signing up for their service, I feel more secure. It’s a good thing for most older people if they live alone. I wear the alarm around my neck and the string around it is visible in my V-necks which bothers me. But I don't want the watch because I could fall and be lying on it and not be able to reach it.

I had a bad fall after I had the open heart surgery so I got a Philips Lifeline. Their reps answered all my questions and they were very nice. Also, there's no problem wearing the device. I don't even know I have it on me.
