I tested the device and it went fine.

My mother has two devices, and that gets a little cumbersome at times, but otherwise, she doesn't have any problems with it. In the beginning, she would accidentally set off one of them. It would hit together or she doesn't know exactly what she was doing. Now, she just puts one underneath her shirt and one on top of her shirt. It seems to be better. ADT Medical Alert gives us peace of mind. If we have to go away and leave my mother for a short period of time, we know that if she falls or something happens that we’ll be notified or she'll be able to contact help. Our sense of security for her has improved because she has it.

We bought this for mom. The very next week she fell in the shower and the system worked just like it’s supposed to. EMT got there in a timely manner. Since then she has fallen two other times, both with excellent response.

I've been very pleased with ADT Medical Alert. But the device is not convenient for me because I am very active in my yard. If I have it on and I bend over, it falls down when I'm pulling weeds. So, a lot of times I don't wear it. But one time I had a dizzy spell and fell on the floor. I had the device on and ADT called immediately. I didn't have a phone in my pocket. I came to, got up and managed to get to a phone. They had already called EMS, but I told them to cancel it because I was fine. I just hadn't eaten anything that day and I needed to. My blood sugar probably had dropped, although I'm not diabetic. But it was very comforting to know that they are on alert. I have recommended ADT medical to a lot of people.

Very nice product. Well thought out. Problem I have is that I live in an area where AT&T signal is very marginal. I did explain my concern to the rep and was assured that their latest technology would not be a problem. System does not work and I am returning it. Getting a different brand that uses Verizon.
Good morning William. We apologize that our product did not work out for you. We thank you for your feedback. We'll be sure to use it to create a better experience for our customers in the future. Be sure to give us a call at 800.568.1216 if you still need any assistance. Stay safe!

I fall once in a while and if I would use anybody, I would use ADT. The customer support is wonderful. They're very helpful if I had a question or if I accidentally set off the alarm or if the battery's low and I don't know it. I love ADT. I feel very good having them with me because I know what it's like on the other end. I may never have to use it, but then it's there if I need it.

ADT Medical Alert has been wonderful. They sent my mother a new battery when her device's battery went low. They called and told us, and everything is going good with that. We haven't had any problems with it. Also, my mother has pushed the button seven times since she's had the device, and every time, it's been fine. Someone comes. My mother fell yesterday, and after she pushed the button, they came and got her. They were very good. My mother is in the ER right now. The hospital is running some tests and assessing her.

When I signed up for this I spoke to a man when I got the equipment it was from a lady who had misspelled my sister's first name even though I had repeated it several times and he had repeated it back. They had my mom's last name wrong which I repeatedly told them. They didn't even have a last name for my sister except for the letter R. I had chosen the quarterly plan and the customer service rep I spoke to Tony how much the bill would be the first time and then how much each month. When I got the invoice they had set me up for monthly which is more expensive and so I called them immediately and told them I wanted it returned. I got the box to return it and on Monday it will be returned. When you have gone over names and prices several times and have verified several times and then you get something totally different then I honestly would not feel safe with their device.

I had some numbness in my arm and one of the doctors said I should get a medical alert device so I got the ADT Medical Alert. I've known about them for years and any time I hear ADT, I think positively. I used to be in the air force and we had ADT security. My device is there as an emergency fallback. I test it occasionally and customer service comes on in about a minute and they say everything's okay.
Reviewed April 7, 2023
I got my equipment and I got it up to charge. I called up ADT and the lady on the other end went through it with me for testing it and it worked okay. I was told that once a month I could test it. Whenever I think about it in the middle of the month, I pick it up and I push the button and somebody on the other end answers. But it's in different ways. Sometimes, they told me, "Well, I'm gonna have to reset this." Then other times, a more friendly voice is talking to me. But as long as I hear somebody when I push the button, then I'm fine.

My family was visiting me but they were out for breakfast. I opened the door of my closet and I suddenly fainted and fell. Then when I came to, I pressed my emergency pendant and ADT got in touch with my daughter and the EMT, and they came and helped me. With ADT Medical Alert, I feel more confident especially when I'm alone and I know that I can call for help should I need it. I don’t wear the device when I go out because it doesn’t work there anyway. I'm always with my aide or with my daughter, so it's not a problem. I wear it in the house always but I take it off in the shower. I'm not in there alone when I'm showering. My aide is with me and the device is on the top of the dressing table in the bathroom.

The experience with the reps at ADT Medical Alert has been great. When I’ve made a mistake and haven't answered an alert, they are never ever curt or nasty. I had an issue where they sent me a new device because the other one wasn't charging, and they sent it to my temporary house address in Phoenix and it was sitting in the hot sun for several months.
I finally realized it when the reps called and asked how it was working out. I said I never received it. They said they sent it and when they looked at my address, it was my second home and I don't spend time there nor ever use it for any mail. Instead of a big to do about it, they just said they would send me another one out and to send that one back. So, it was not a big hassle or craziness or arguing about it. Things like that have always been very good. I haven't needed ADT Medical Alert since I've had it, but that's okay. I'm willing to pay the money and keep it because it's a benefit for me. I can have instant help if I need it. The price keeps going up though.

The whole process from the initial contact, delivery, set up and communication was smooth as can be and a pleasure. I could not recommend this company more.

I'm most impressed with the price. I saw the deal for 32.99 a month. ADT gave me the GPS system, and I put it in my pocket. That has a microphone so when ADT called me, I could talk to them through it. But the necklace part is awesome. I was so happy to get my ADT Medical Alert device. I put it on my Instagram because I wanted to share the news. I'm a SAG-AFTRA member at the union so I meet all these girls at yoga class and the gym. I'm a bit older than they are, so I wanted to give them the good news that I found a great deal at ADT. It's new technology, but they don't understand that it's called On-The-Go System. And it's important to emphasize that all these young girls could feel safe in Hollywood, and have the freedom to walk on Hollywood Boulevard without getting injured by anyone or mugged.
I hope all the young girls could have it, especially these days with so much violence in the world. I feel safe and confident walking the Walk of Fame in Hollywood, with my ADT On-The-Go system device, because all I have to do is press a button and my supervisor at work, the police, plus my best friend in Hollywood and my family are called.
I was working in security Downtown LA for City Hall, and this six-foot ** male with no teeth tried to ask me a question. He was in my face. I got scared because I didn't want to get injured. So, I immediately showed him that I have this ADT button and the police will be called. It ended up being all right. It's nice to have just for peace of mind in case something bad were to happen. If I have to press the button that I carry around my neck, what it does is it calls the ADT security, and they flip on a switch that tells them my coordinates. And if they couldn't reach me on that little GPS box that I put in my pocket, they would call the police and the fire department and give them my coordinates.

I don't like the look of the bracelet and the one you put around your neck but I chose the bracelet. The quality is good. There’s a monitor and you can put it in any room you want. If you press the button, if there’s a problem or if you accidentally turn it on, they will come on and talk to you. A lot of times, if I'm not in that room, I couldn't hear them. Or just like now, the dog was making a bunch of racket, so I didn't hear when they were asking me if I had a problem. When I accidentally turned on the ADT Medical Alert device, there were ambulance and police cars outside of my house within five minutes.

I like ADT. They call me and tell me that they're testing the device to let me know. If it's getting lower, they need to send me a new one out. I had an incident and not only did they show up with the ambulance, they also called. They called me to make sure everything was okay, and they called my sister when I was released from the hospital. They always called to check on it. Amazing. The ADT device is wonderful, and you're a fool if you don't get one.

The ADT Medical Alert device gets my father help right away. If I can rate the reps from a 1 to a 10, I would give them a 10 because they've answered all my questions about it. I just had them call me the other day, saying that they were sending help for my father because his device went off. Their response is phenomenal. They're right there. Prior to the medical alert, my father would have to call a family member, mainly myself. If he couldn't get me, he would have to call my sister-in-law who lives closer than I do. Sometimes, she's not available. Having this device helps. It's a peace of mind. In the beginning, he complained about it. But now he's gotten used to it so he only takes it off when he goes to bed. It's right on his nightstand, so if he falls out of bed or stands up and falls down, he has it right there.

Signing up with ADT Medical Alert was very easy. I talked to one person and he walked me through the whole thing and got the stuff sent to my mom. It was easy on her end, too. She's grateful for it.

ADT is a big company. They're solid. The little bit of communication I had with them, which was many years ago when I was still working, was if I needed anything from them, I always got a highly professional person on the other end of the phone. They proved to be very easy to deal with and seamless. Think about dialing a telephone number and getting 10 rings and getting switched over to voice mail. That's the longest it normally takes for them to answer. They're excellent.
The only problem I had was when they first sent me a button, they sent me one that had an inertia thing in it so they could tell if I fell. And I'm too active and the thing went off about twice a week just because I moved too quickly or I would lean down and the button would swing on my neck and bump into something, and all of a sudden it would go off, not from the button was pushed, but there's a sensor in there that felt sudden acceleration. They shut that function off. I had to use it one time and it was an odd situation because as soon as I pushed the button, my next-door neighbor happened by the house, so I canceled the call. But my general experience in every way has been highly satisfactory.

The machine blinks for us to do a test every 30 days and when I see the blinking, I usually hit the necklace button and tell the reps I'm just doing a test. It seems like in the last three months when I'm doing that, it takes longer for ADT Medical Alert to answer my call. It says, "Call in progress" over and over until somebody picks up. We're in Weakley County of about 35,000 and it's our local ambulance service that comes. I live in the city limits and if our city police are not out on a call, because there's only one officer on at a time, they will come and get here before the paramedics do, if they're not busy. So, a lot of times, they're the first ones on the scene and then the paramedics come and check my mother out and do her vitals.
I just have been a little concerned a time or two that the call wasn't answered timely. They don't know that I'm just doing the test until I tell them but I have noticed that in the last little bit and it made me wonder if they are like everybody else and having a hard time getting employees or have lesser people manning the phones. But it's nothing that I would discontinue the service over. ADT Medical Alert is an addition to all the other things that you have to have as elderly people are in the world today. There are so many elderly people and you wanna keep them at home when you can, and it's a device that enables you to do that on a longer term than if they didn't have that. My mother complains though about the necklace occasionally, that it rubs her neck if she got on the shirt that doesn't have a collar or where the little rope piece is laying directly on her skin. It's irritating.

Once we got it all set up and everything was working, I have had a response quickly. I've set it off accidentally twice and they have responded both times quickly. It's been a positive experience.

They'll start to charge us 750 a run now every time they come. The drawback is the product is in the family room. My brother was over at my mom's house the other day to take her to a funeral. She was in the shower and had to shut it off. But he was able to hit the reset button and not have an incident.

I am pleased with the cost and service from ADT Medical Alert. They were very kind. I don't think any question was a stupid question. Everything was met with graciousness and a kind heart. They wanted to help. If there's one thing I can talk them into doing, it would be to take the device to bed. My mom keeps it by her nightstand between her two chairs. Without purchasing an additional device, I don't know that I can get her to change that behavior.

The first day or two, the part where the speaker is wasn't working right. It would have a green light then a red light. I called them up and they told me that there was a problem with a tower in my area, but it would be fixed soon. By the third day, I never had any problems after that. The device makes me feel better when I go out. I've got it with me ‘cause they said it's a tracking device. It knows where you are. I always keep it in the middle of my house. It's near my purse, so I don't forget to take it with me when I go. I've been happy with it. I even told my neighbor about it. She wanted to know what kind I had.

I put the lockbox on the porch, and I was disappointed in it. It's the way it's made. It's tiny black numbers on a gray metal background. That would be impossible for a first responder to see if the porch light was not on or if they did not have a flashlight. I had been a Realtor in the past, and we had lockboxes that had easy to read numbers in a grid where the numbers were bigger. And it is way easier to punch in the code than to have to dial up those numbers on the ADT lockbox. So, we're gonna put a motion-activated spotlight above the lockbox so that a first responder walking up there, the light would come on, and they would be able to see to try to dial up those numbers. But still, they're so tiny that a guy with a big thumb is gonna have a problem with it. So, the lockbox is not adequate.
I called to see if there was a different type available. The person I talked to about it said, “That's the only one we have. If you want something different, you can go buy it.” So, my impression of the company and experience was negative at that point, because I thought they would care that the lockbox was obviously inadequate.

But my husband was home, so there were phone calls going around. And every single time it has gone off, my mom was either sitting down in a chair or lying on her bed. When it did the alert and they called me, I said, “Can you tell if it was a button push or a fall detection?” And the woman told me it was a fall detection. So I said, “I would have assumed it was like an accidental push of the button.” So, that confuses me. But physically wearing it is fine. It brings peace of mind. It is effective. I like it.

She was able to quote the prices right there, which is also unusual with medical alert companies since they really don't want to quote you prices before you go with them. She answered all of my questions ahead of time, too. I've been happy since then.
I use the medical alert often and their response team is really good. I've talked to them many times because I have fallen several times, sometimes where the fall detector kicks in, sometimes where I pressed the button, and other times in testing the device. They usually respond in a couple of minutes which is a reasonable amount of time. It has never taken forever. All in all, I'm pleased with the way the device is working and I have never been dissatisfied with anything. At one point, I had to change the necklace that I wear because the batteries were wearing out. They contacted me before they wore out, sent me a new one, and walked me through the pairing of it.

I listened and I thought it would be suitable for me to have that. I followed up on it and I checked the system. They sent someone here to set it up. The first system I had was for indoors and would only extend to the lobby of the building I live in. I kept that system for two or three years.
Then, I upgraded the system. I liked the idea that this system is on the go and it has served me well. The first time I used it, I was glad I had it because my blood pressure was up extremely high and I felt like I was going to faint. I went ahead and pushed the button and I was so pleased with the promptness. They responded right away and the ambulance was here quickly. They also set up a conference call with my two sons who are both out of state. The only thing I'm not pleased about is that I am paying back a fee for the ambulance costs, which was $255.

My father is going through treatment and he was slipping and falling at the house. He passed out one day in the tub with my mother, and she got stuck holding him up for an hour and a half. So, I ordered ADT Medical Alert for my parents so that they could keep their independence a little longer. I liked the ADT On-the-Go, where my parents can take to the doctor's office with them. Also, it works on AT&T’s network. I liked that they had that option.
The people from ADT, in general, were very nice. It's just that the English on one of the calls I had was very hard to understand. The payment portion was a nightmare. It’s supposed to be direct billed to my credit card so I don't have any nasty past due notices. Because they have their own security system at the house, the payment issue was very frustrating. They don't do payments in advance so I could just set it up when we set up everything else. You have to wait till you get a bill, then you have to set up the payment. So, I had to call them. They put you through this whole system then you put your own credit card. You feel safe and confident. You enter your own credit card and expiration. Then they come back on the line with you. The rep didn’t set up the monthly billing right. Then my dad was in the hospital, and I get a past-due notice. I haven't gotten any more past due notices though.
The other thing is they keep saying we can go to the online app to set it up, but I can’t because I don’t have the alarm system. I don’t have the code, so I can’t pay it through the app. I have to deal with customer service, which takes longer and more time. I already had a stressful time. So the last time, I screamed at the guy and said, “I just want to pay the goddamn bill. Would you just put me through so I can pay the damn bill?” Finally, I was paying it, and I had to apologize 20 times to the man because I felt so bad.
One of the times my mom needed it, it took ADT about three minutes to answer. That's kind of scary when you’re sitting there for three minutes. The other two times, she said they were very quick. I like the security. The nice thing about the On-the-Go is my mom gets to wear the communication device on her chest. My dad gets the wristband on his wrist. So, if he presses it, my mom knows there’s a problem. The device made it perfect for the situation that we were in. That was so convenient.

He fell just the other day. It's got a fall alert on it and it immediately picked it up. It said, “There's a fall detected.”
Hi Wanda. Thank you for the review and feedback! We hope everything is ok with your brother!

I liked ADT Medical Alert's price. Purchasing was very easy. I called them, they sent me a link and I filled out the form. On the same day, my dad was signed up. Two days later, he got his device. It was a very quick turnaround. When my dad plays cards, he leans forward and presses the device. ADT will call and say he’s fallen. I'm like, “No, he’s sitting at the table with me.” About twice, it got caught under his arm. They called. So, they've been very efficient in phoning when it seems like the device has gone off. Overall, they've been amazing.
Hi Lorraine! Thank you so much for the feedback! Glad to hear it was a false alarm!

ADT Medical Alert has good customer support, but we are going to return the product because it's been too difficult for my family members to remember to take the second piece of equipment with them when they leave the house. My brother-in-law has fallen a number of times, and it hasn't been detected because he didn't have that second piece with him.
People have to know whether the people who are going to use the product are homebound or are going to be leaving the house and perhaps driving. I got fall detection, and I will continue to do that. Although the technology, state-of-the-art, is highly sensitive. So there are a number of false alarms, which I want my family members to tolerate because I want it to be able to pick up when they do fall. It's just a necessary inconvenience to have to call off the emergency medical people when there's a false alarm. I still want the fall detection in this particular case because both my sister and brother-in-law are prone to falling.

My mom needed something that had fall detection. She lives alone and was having some health issues. I wanted her to have that protection. ADT sounded like the best option for us. The device arrived in a couple of days and I was pretty impressed. Their staff helped us with the set-up and they were very helpful and knowledgeable.
We tested the device originally then my mom was in the hospital and in rehab for a while so we haven't tested it since. It went off once when I had it at my house when my mom accidentally hit it. My brother answered her cell phone and let ADT know it was a false alarm. My mom had recommended ADT to her friends. So far, we've been really happy with the device and the pricing.
Hello. Thank you so much for the positive feedback and sharing your experience! We're so happy to have you as part of the ADT family!

I live alone and wanted the comfort of knowing that if I were to fall, I would have some help. ADT has been helpful. I did the set-up over the phone and it was easy. Customer service was very professional. I have set off the device myself and the response came in a minute or two. If anyone wants to, then try ADT.

Unit was ordered for 92 year old mother with mild to moderate hearing deficit. Upon sound test, mom was unable to hear the response. Unit was at full volume and located 20 feet away. My hearing is unencumbered and I could only faintly hear the responder on second try after confirming full volume. Customer Service did cancel immediately as requested, and return box arrived within one week. We were not charged for service since it was cancelled same day as delivered, and I had a confirmation # to provide in case a bill was received. I am a Hospice RN and have done intermittent unit tests in other homes with adequate volume for responder to be clearly heard throughout a pretty large area. Thanks for reversing the charges.

Looking into options for a medical alert system online, and answering some questions, I was matched with ADT. I was hesitant to sign up for the program, but my family was quite definite that I needed to do something. I decided on the wrist band. Really hate the necklace idea. I received the kit today and it is all set up and ready to go. I must say, though, that the band is a cheap rubber strap that is very warm to wear. Thought it might be more of a leather strap. This system should suffice for my needs.

ADT Medical Alert's team is very friendly. Last time, my husband, he was so shocked with my condition. He didn't know how to call 911. And this way with the system, it's easier and very comfortable.

My grandfather's 88 years old and suffers from dementia. He has an ADT Medical Alert and for me, it definitely gives me an extra added sense of security. It’s had one issue where it's oversensitive, which is a good thing. It went off while he was taking a shower. So, we just had to cancel it. But he has had two falls and both times, it worked perfectly. I get a phone notification. I asked them to call me first, so at least I can get up and go respond if I realized he had fallen. The one time that I didn't even hear my phone go off, they were here within minutes. The reps have been phenomenal.

My husband can have the device in the shower or when he's outside -- wherever he is, it’s with him. I feel much better about that. Also, if I'm not available, my son or daughter are on the list to be called before 911. It gives the entire family great reassurance that one of us would be able to help him or get him help if needed.

I kept falling and since I got ADT, I still get dizzy but not near as bad as before. I don't know if it balanced me or what. I also used it about a week ago, where I fell and I pressed the button. They responded not very long after and everything worked. From the fall, I couldn't get to that little box and I didn't hear them very well. But they talked to my caregiver and she told them everything was okay. Other than that, I'm getting used to the device and I don't even notice it. It’s like wearing a necklace.

The first three weeks or so, my mother had her necklace on all the time and she had the other one on when she came to town as she was five miles out in the country. We set it up that ADT would call me and my sister first to make sure that hitting the button was just an accident, so then 911 or the fire department won't have to come out. There was an issue one night when our mom went over to the mobile device that was plugged in and she kept pushing the button. ADT called us and we went out, and my sister flew out of the bathtub and got to our mom's house. She was sitting there like, “What the hell are you doing?” She also said that ADT would never answer. I told her that she kept redialing.

I signed up instantly with ADT Medical Alert because the rates were a lot cheaper than Slip and Fall. Since having it, I feel 100% safe.

I feel secure with the ADT Medical Alert and I feel secure having it because I can go all over with it. But wearing it is kinda cumbersome. It gets in my way a little bit because I wear it around my neck constantly. It's bulky a little bit around my clothes but I try and deal with that because it is for my safety. In case I have any issues, I can get help. I test it once in a while to see if it's functioning correctly and the reps come on and they're very friendly. They make sure that I'm okay. I would highly recommend the device and I would tell others that it is a very good company.

So far, my ADT Medical Alert is working great. I let the battery get low, but they called in and inquired as to why, so I didn't have any problem with it. I accidentally dropped it one time and they immediately responded. They were great and answered my questions too. The quality of the device is very well. The hardest thing for me is getting used to carrying the little thing with me. But the comfort is great.
