The experience with the service has been great. It was after three visits with my grandmother where we had a very continuous and frequent call to 911. It was just like a struggle, not with the ambulance, but the situation itself. Then we had one of her doctors tell us that it would be great if we could connect with ADT Medical Alert. And we did. So far, we haven't really used it. But there's a rest in our mind that if something happens, we just press the button and we’re gonna be served.
Every day, we are very aware of it. We are always charging it. Sometimes we forget and they call us and that's great. My grandmother is aware where it is and the person that takes care of her also knows where it is. Lately, she hasn't been able to move around a lot so this is for security. ADT Medical Alert gives us the option to feel a little more secure, that there's a helping hand out there, there's someone that’s gonna take care of us and it's gonna make things a little easier
Thank you for the positive review and feedback!

I have ADT security for my house and decided to purchase the medical alert because I looked at LifeLock and they wanted $98 a month and a three-year contract. I thought that was ridiculous.
I have already used the device and they notified my family members and the emergency services. The police came when they were told. My balance is off because of medications and so, I’ve had a couple of falls. But now, I use a walker and so I’m a little better.
The medical alert is great. The only problem I have is they do the testing at nighttime. Like last week, I got into bed and had a little backache. No sooner I got into bed, it was like 11 o’clock at night, and it was flashing to do a test. Sometimes it’s 1 o’clock in the morning.
Thank you for the positive review and feedback!

I’ve had the alert for quite a while. It’s with me a lot of the time, around the house, especially because my wife works at night. I haven’t had to use it, which is a good thing, but I know it works. I’ve tested it and it works fine.

I live by myself, and when I came home from the hospital after having pneumonia, it was recommended that I get a medical alert. It's very easy to use. I'm notified every time I forget to charge it. It's encouraging to know that I have this method if I do have an accident. It gives me a lot of feeling of security.

We're not in the best of health anymore, so my daughter did some research and we got ADT's medical alert. We wear it all the time and makes us feel more secure. We do the monthly test and that has been done very well both times. If we have an emergency, hopefully somebody will be sent out.

I had surgery and my children were afraid that I would fall. Since I have ADT for my house, we decided to get their medical alert. It’s a bracelet that I wear every day. Initially, before I had the bracelet, I had it around my neck and I would occasionally accidentally trigger it. So it went off a couple of times and the people came to the house. They were very nice and prompt, and I just sent them on their way.

I was sick and my son thought I should have a medical alert. I accidentally called when I leaned over on the one on my neck, and it pushed the button. It’s comforting to know that it’s there. Since I’ve been better, I only wear it when I go outside or in the basement or garage to do anything. The plastic part on the wrist of the watch kind of gets in the way because it’s a little thick and doesn’t always stay flat. The cord also irritates my neck. It’s a little clumsy to wear every day but otherwise, I’d been more than satisfied with the service and everything else.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to write a positive review.

When we made the decision, we looked at some reviews online, and ADT seemed to be the most reasonable for what we were looking for.
We’re happy with the medical alert. It’s working more for peace of mind than in actuality. Since it sometimes goes off when my husband bumps into something or if he crosses his arms or leans across something, he tends to wear it inside his shirt so it takes a major fall before it goes off. As it is, if he fell, he could take it off his neck and hit it against the floor, but if he fell and had a head injury, he couldn’t.
Hello. Thank you so much for your positive feedback. We appreciate it!

I like the fact that the people were very nice. My medical alert has gone off several times, and they all have immediately contacted me. They rechecked it and did a very nice job. A couple of times that I didn’t know what to do, the person instructed me very calmly and nicely, and got me straightened up. So they were teaching me as well. I am very satisfied.
I had my mother on a system and the price is comparable to what I paid for hers. And that was several years ago. So, the cost is acceptable. I don’t particularly like wearing the black cord around my neck. I wish it had a chain that would be a little more dressy because it doesn’t look very good with real gold or silver necklaces.
Hello. Thank you for your 5-star rating and review! We appreciate it.

I was falling a lot and needed help. I looked at a number of different medical alert devices, and ADT had the right price and program for me. I’ve been very happy with them. Once a month, they send me the light flashes, and I have to call them. They check my device to make sure it’s working okay. When I did have an incident, they kept calling my contacts, and then called an ambulance. I have no complaints.
I also fell in the kitchen a couple years ago and I broke my hip. Everybody around me was calling me. I reached over and pressed on my wristwatch, and I got ADT right away. I’m much more secure.

I've had an ADT alert for so many years and I've had no problem with it. They've been nothing but cooperative if I've had a problem. I wear it 24 hours a day. It gives me a little security. One time I fell and my daughter came over and I hadn't called ADT. I forgot about it around my neck and she used it to call them. It's a little sketchy though that I have to wait quite a few more minutes before somebody comes on. But if I’m patient, we finally connect. Other than that, I've had no problems.

I checked out a few other brand and ADT appeared to be good to me. I forgot to charge it one day, and I got an email and a call, and my daughter got a text, so I know it works very well. I don't know if the feature when you're falling or you pass out is an extra charge or not, but I don't have that on mine and I was thinking of asking about it.

I heard about the ADT medical Alert from my little brother who still lives in Alaska. He was working on stuff that I needed. I was challenged by a few things. I moved from Texas over here to Saint George, Utah, in an apartment. My husband died so they wanted to make sure that I feel safe and that I am safe. If I have a seizure, or other health stuff, at least I have something.
I usually wear it at home. When I go out, I always have it in my purse. Or sometimes I keep it on my neck. When you're a person that has epilepsy, if you have seizures, you gotta keep an eye on it. When my husband was still here, he hardly ever left me, and so if I had one of my events, he'd be there. The device makes me feel comfortable and safe.
Probably about a year and a half ago, I was at home all by myself. I thought it was a seizure, and so did my doctors later on. It was something else in my system. I just crashed and fell down. I had a hard time getting up. I called on the phone, and I hit the button on the necklace thing. I'm not sure if my friend did it, but I got an ambulance over. I think ADT made the call to get an ambulance over. Because then they picked me up, took me over to the ER, and I spent 3 nights in the hospital.
Linda- We're so sorry to hear about what happened last year but are so glad that you are OK! ADT is always here for you and thank you for being such a wonderful part of our ADT family.

I've always had good service from ADT. I've never had any problem with the medical alert. My daughter is a nurse and she suggested that I have it because I live alone. One time, I was getting out of the shower and I had it on. I have the necklace. Evidently, I pushed the button with the towel and I remember somebody came on and asked if everything was okay. I said yes, that it was.
I did have to call in the ADT when I fell and broke my arm. Last January, I had gotten dressed and was going to the dining room, and all of a sudden, I was on the floor. My left elbow was broken in three places. When the paramedics came, they were just wonderful. I've lived in Norwood all my life, so I knew a lot of the paramedics. It took me quite some time. I had to crawl because my life alert was on my table about 6 feet away from where I fell. So, I crawled to that and called the alert and they were there in no time.
I had the bracelet at one time, and I thought of trying the necklace. And if I wear the necklace all the time and I sit at my table, playing cards one time and the voice comes on. It hit the table as I leaned over to play cards. I like the bracelet, but I have the necklace constantly with me, right by my chair. Whenever I get up to go to the bathroom or go out shopping with my daughters, I always take my walker with me and I always have it on.

My mother was falling a lot and she was living by herself at the time. She wears the ADT medical alert rom the time she gets up till the time she goes to bed, which is from 6:00 AM to about 7:00 PM, 8:00 PM. She takes it off to go to bed. It doesn’t bother her. We test it once a week. I call them and they do the test with me. We drop it on the floor and they tell me that it’s activated and is calling 911. It’s very good.

I had a bad fall and my son and my daughter suggested the ADT medical alert. My son got it for me. I've had it ever since. The first morning, I had it on, I was having my breakfast, and I leaned against the camera and it went off. Right away, I had a call soI was very impressed with the service. It makes me feel safer. It gives me a feeling of safety that there is something I could do, that I have access. I don't always wear it in the house, but it's nearby. I had a call once from a young lady, who told me I needed to charge the battery and the device. I'd left it laying off the charge.

ADT Medical Alert was part of the Medicaid plan that my husband had. That Medicaid plan has since changed what he had available to him, but we decided to just go ahead and continue with it because we thought it was a good idea to have in the home. Now, we actually manage the payment for it every month.
He really only wears it when I have to step away from the home briefly, when he may be here by himself for a little bit. But we haven't really had to activate it or call anyone, which is good for us. During the testing, we were here when the rep came to install it and it was good. The few times we've had to reach out, ADT has been really good and really helpful explaining certain things. I have nothing but good things to say about the interaction that we've had. It's been little but good.
Thank you for your positive feedback. We appreciate it!

My ADT Medical Alert device is the second one I've had. I’d liked my first one much better. I have a lot of trouble doing the testing with my second one. The part of the device where it says “Press here” for the test doesn't work 9 times out of 10. I have to call it in. I do the testing process once a month. They say it's working. I called them, and they tested that way and they say it's working. When I try and test it on my own, it doesn't work. Now, I don't know whether my machine does work. If it’s been an emergency, I wouldn't be calling them. I would be pressing.
Once, it accidentally went off. I had it up on a counter in my kitchen. Somebody put something down, and it accidentally hit it. They didn't realize that they hit the machine when they went to put the package down. I called ADT immediately and told them. They said, “Thank you,” and that they would cancel the call. I wear my device 24 hours a day. It's very light. I just don't like the black color because you can see it with everything. It'd be better if it was more of a flesh tone.

I'm very satisfied with ADT Medical Alert. If I need them, I know that they are there. After having learned it, I don't even realize I have it on. I don't take it off unless I shower. I try to keep from accidentally leaning against the alarm. When I have the machine asking if everything is alright, I push the reset button. One time, I was sitting in my TV room and watching TV, when all of a sudden, two gentlemen were standing in my doorway. It frightened me that somebody came in when my house was locked. Apparently, I accidentally pushed my alert button and they came into my house thinking that I had fallen or that I had a problem. They had the code to my garage and the code to get into the house.

My husband passed away and I'm by myself. My son pretty much insisted that I get the medical alert device because I'm a DIYer and I'm always swinging from the ceiling and hopping on ladders. So, to put his mind at rest, I got the button. And since then, I've got Parkinson's and with a debilitating condition now, it's more important than ever to have something that I can rely on, just in case. I called Life Alert to ask some questions and they couldn't answer any questions. They wanted to set up an appointment with a salesperson. So, I called ADT and they answered my questions. Then they set me right up, because I didn't want to wait a week for somebody to maybe get around to calling me back. And it was a week before Life Alert finally got back with me and I told them that they were too late.
ADT's service has been good. One time, ADT called me because I forgot to plug my thing back in and it was going dead. They also called my granddaughter and my son. So ADT has got my back in all directions and I appreciated that. It was something simple but that meant a lot to me that they not only called me but also called both my granddaughter and my son. It gave me a little more security. But the reason that I didn't plug it in was because there's no indicator that it's running low. So if I would change anything about ADT, that would be it. I was also going to call them to ask if there was a waterproof version I could wear when swimming. Other than that, I'm perfectly happy with it. I recommend them all the time because it's such a peace of mind for me and for my family.

I like the price of ADT. It's a good safety thing to have. I've had to use it and it worked well, and then contacting the paramedics and getting the service I needed, they sent help quickly.

Having an ADT Medical Alert, I have a good feeling because I know that with the combination lock on the door and other people having my phone number, that somebody can get in if necessary.

My son-in-law got my ADT Medical Alert for me. ADT calls me in case it is not hooked up right, and they did when I didn't put it on the stand right. They tend to warn me that my device wouldn't fit in well on my charger. Having the device, I feel safe, in case I would have an accident. But I have to be careful wearing it. It goes off before I know it. I don't wear it during sleeping time as I'm afraid it would go off. It can go off easy sometimes.
