I've fallen and couldn't get up. I had gone with another company. I did it with them for a good while and I liked their one that they have the alarm in the shower. ADT doesn't have that, but I have an ADT alarm system in my home. So, I went with the Medical Alert. One time I had a problem, but that was many years ago. But I just had to stick out with that one person. They are all willing to help me.

I fell twice and I had to call ADT to come get me out of the floor. They came very quickly. So far, the medical alert has really been good for me. It makes my children happy that I have it and they feel safer with it. I do, too.

I am very pleased with my experience with this product. Salespeople did not bug me into choosing their product. I feel I got a good price. The product was what I expected when it arrived. My only complaint is that the quick-release on the lanyard releases too quickly.

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.

When the button got pressed by accident, the operator came on the line, and I was able to reassure him that I just pressed the button accidentally. I have the Medical Alert on my wrist and around my neck during all of my waking hours. It keeps me safe and reassures my siblings and children that I will get help from somebody if it's really necessary.

I liked what I saw with ADT. And since I already was happy with an ADT security system in my home, I went ahead with their Medical Alert. I wear the device everyday. I accidentally touched it a couple of times at night when I was removing it. ADT called right away.

I wear my ADT Medical Alert device faithfully when I leave the house, whether it's just to go out to the mailbox or to the yard. Thank God I've not had to have them out here for any reason and we're hoping to keep it that way. But I'm covered just in case.

Spent a long time explaining this was for my mother who isn't yet on board with it. So I was the subscriber and to have unit shipped to me. They shipped it to my mother's home. She was irate and totally ruined her being open minded to discuss the need. Thanks ADT.

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.

I've been with ADT for seven years and I have had nothing but a pleasant relationship with ADT. They've been very nice to me. The biggest benefit is just knowing that there's somebody available. I'm in a wheelchair and I live by myself, so I've had to call them a couple of times when I fell in the bathtub.

We picked ADT Medical Alert because we had their alarm systems for 25 years. The only time I've had an issue was when I hit the button accidentally and they had to reset everything. They've been great about that. And if I had any questions, they were fantastic about answering them.

I feel more secure in knowing that if I have to step away and leave the house for a few minutes, my mother would receive the assistance that she needs within a fraction of the time in the event she falls. It would alert me, my husband, and my son, who will have access to her immediately, which is necessary. She accidentally set it off at church one time and the fire department showed up.

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.

I'm wishing I hadn't picked ADT, not because of the service or the way it works, but my long-term care insurance didn't know that ADT even has a medical alert system. They've been reluctant to pay it. But as far as the way the system works, my husband’s pressed it by accident a couple of times, and that's easy to cancel.

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. She doesn't leave her apartment a whole lot, so it works well for her. When she does, it's just to go across the sidewalk to the laundry room and it works from there also. She loves it. I live 2,000 miles away from my mom. It gives me a good sense of security to know that she's got it because if she needs anything right away, all she has to do is do it herself and someone will be right there.

I have bad heart problems, and a lot of times my husband is not at home and we feel safer with ADT Medical Alert. I would recommend them.

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.

Having this alert is making me extra happy because I don't worry about anything. This is easier and cheaper than even moving out.

Signing up was a quick and easy process. Everything was done in less than a week. My grandmother likes the device and it works fine. She's more confident going out. But she doesn't like that you have to have the necklace, watch and the little pocket box when going out. It's a lot of devices that she has to take with her. I feel like if the GPS tracker was built into the watch, then she would be better about using it.

The device works well. It has gone off a couple of times by accident but I live a quarter of a mile from my mother-in-law so I could check before the ambulance was alerted. That's what I really like. The device helps us to stay at home and sleep while she's asleep.

I accidentally pushed the button when I was coming inside from the car. They couldn't get ahold of me so they called me on my phone and said they had already dispatched a medical team. I asked them to cancel it. The device gives me more security. The reps are very polite when they talk to me.

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. But the device is agitating to have it on. The neck holder kept coming apart and not sticking. They sent me a new one and now I can't find it. The device itself has worked well, but getting through ADT has been very difficult when we were trying to set up payments for it.

I called ADT and spoke with a representative who explained the whole process to me, and I ordered the product. My mother's using it. In case she hits the button, they should speak to the base unit. Something happened where they called my mother, and then they got disconnected somehow, and that was it. They never called my mother back.

I got ADT Medical Alert because I have seizures and I had spent a couple of nights on the floor because nobody knew I fell. I got one for my sister too because she still insists on going places by herself and there could be full blown COPD attacks, which include oxygen deprivation. I had the bracelet but I needed the pendant. It detects falls. We tested the watches and the response time was fine. I was talking to them when I realized that if I have a seizure, I can't push a button. That was when we decided I better get the pendant. I sent the bracelet in a brown bubble envelope that was in the box with the pendant. That envelope was addressed. ADT never called to tell me if they got the bracelet.

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.

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. And they didn't.

So, I hang it on the rollator. That way, when I go out, I take it and put it in my pocket with the little box in its case.
As far as their customer service, when I called, they answered quickly. When I used them when I was living by myself, they came quickly. There were no ifs, ands, and buts about it. They came. When the ambulance and medical people came, they helped me really well. I kept falling on the floor, so they had to pick me up off the floor and get me back up in the chair. I love ADT. It's the best thing that has been created for me.

I got a new button not too long ago and we tested it. Then, I fell the last day of September and fractured my pelvic in two places. It was about three miles from home so it didn't work.

ADT has not failed me. My husband was an older person and I worked. When he was alive, I felt comfortable with him having a pendant. If something was to happen, they would be able to respond. But he had an incident where he fell but they did not respond because the service was out of service. When I got home from work at 11:15 that night, he was laying on the floor and he had been laying there since 6:00. ADT apologized and reimbursed his money that year.

I called ADT one day because I was fishing for information and I got clear concise information. I called back the next day to strike the deal and spoke with the very same person, which is pretty unusual when you're talking with a big company, especially over the phone. But she was great and knowledgeable. 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. And they do it many times a day, so they're comfortable with it. But I was impressed with how well the technician explained it to me and it worked first time.

The first one I purchased was about four years ago. Someone came to the building and gave us a presentation. The rep from ADT was knowledgeable. 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. I couldn't afford to pay it at one time, so I'm sending them a $50 check a month to cover the cost of the ambulance travel to and from the hospital.

First fail occurred with initial shipping of order. Went to the one place I said DO NOT send it there. Lost a whole day of monitoring because of that. Promised "just open the package and call us." Failed to mention the 3 hour charging time required before just calling. So now 48 hours plus we are waiting for a different machine because the original doesn't work. We pleased for them to send the Landline version as we have unreliable cell service. They refused, because "first we have to try the other monitor." So now with the addition of a weekend we are out about 6 days. Second option didn't work either... Which is what we told them would happen.

She'll get a call if there's something going on. It brings peace of mind to us all. We don't mind paying $150 every three months for the security on it is worth it.
Our charging cradle for the GPS wasn't charging and we put it in there after being out and the light wouldn't come on. We had issue after issue on it. I was getting calls that the battery was running low, et cetera, et cetera. So, I finally called ADT and talked to them about it. Two days later, I had a brand-new GPS unit out here and all I ever had to do was activate it. ADT ought to make a wrist module that straps on the wrist with a clock on it. That way, you would have the best of both worlds because you would have your wristwatch plus your activator if necessary. The new unit we got in is beautiful and works perfect.

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.

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.

ADT's reps have been good. But I was having a problem with them when it came to my payday. It was at the end of the month and they were taking the payment at the end of the month. But things have gotten better for me now, so I can be able to have money in the bank at all times. They could take their payment whenever and I got that fixed. So when I called them up, they did it electronically right from my card and now, I don't even have to worry about it. All in all, I would tell my friends that if they can afford it, they should to get ADT Medical Alert. I also got their home security and they gave me both the necklace and the bracelet for the alerts. Plus, they gave me a gift. It's a night light which is a thing you plug in the wall. Initially, I thought it went to the set and I was trying to figure it out. When I called ADT, nobody knew what it was. But I figured it out.

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.

My sister-in-law explained to me about ADT Medical Alert and when I called them, their reps filled me in more on the system and how everything works. And that night, I signed up. So far, I’m glad I've got this unit. I have the necklace and one time, I took it off and I tried to jerk it. Then I laid it down and I heard someone asking if I was all right or if I've fallen. They have that automatic feature where the device goes off before they call you and that's what I love about it. So I know that if I fall, they're going to call and check on me.
I also told my mother to get one for herself because she lives alone. I ordered this system for her and I paid for it out of my pocket. And I'm glad I did because one time, my momma got stuck in the tub and couldn't get out. Another time, she fell. And one time, her pendant wasn't charged, so they couldn't get ahold of her. They called me and told me to tell her that she needs to charge her pendant. They're really on their job and I like that. The only problem is with my health, I'm back and forth in the hospital and I haven't had the money to pay the bill like I need to. I had to pay other bills and because they took me from the hospital to a facility since I was weak from my stroke, they took all my money, so I couldn't pay ADT. But this month coming up, I'm going to let them know that I'm going to send them a payment, though I may not be able to send the whole payment.

I got the necklace from ADT and the first time it went off was because my neighbor's terrier jumped up my lap and happened to hit it. I didn't have a phone out in the garage at the time, and here came a fire truck up and the ambulance. It works good. I did a test yesterday. My device has a little yellow light that will start flashing that says "test". They want you to test it every month. So, you call them and wait until it comes on and it'll tell you, "Go ahead and hit the button." Then you hang up and then as soon as you activate it, they'll call you back and confirm it. It works.
I wear my device around my neck, and they say you could wear it in the shower. I usually take it off and put it on the dresser. Then when I get out of the shower and dry off, I'll put it back on. My youngest son says, "Well, you know, dad, you might want to keep that on in case you slip in the shower." Overall, ADT's response is good. I've dealt with ADT for close to 50 years.

The main factor for me getting the ADT medical alert device for my aunt was her being able to reach out to me if she fell. One of the things that we wanted to have was something similar to my alarm system in my house with ADT where there's a call hunt group for a number of people to reach out to first before calling an ambulance if there's a need for that. That played a big part in the fact that we were able to set up at least four family members that ADT could call in case she fell again and needed assistance before calling the ambulance. When we had looked at it a few years ago, that was impossible. It was just call the ambulance and get the ambulance there. In some cases, that is not needed.
ADT's customer service was fantastic. I explained to them what I needed and they knew exactly what I was looking for. It took me about 20 minutes on the phone to get it signed up and shipped over to me. The device gives my aunt a sense of security that she's only a button away from me. It also gives me a good feeling that if anything happens, she can push that button and someone can reach me right away.
One of the things that wasn't mentioned was the unit that goes in the house also serves as an intercom. I didn't know that till it came in and we were setting it up, and the ADT rep was talking to me through the intercom. I'm not sure how well that would work even though the unit is in there and it covers at least a 600 square foot radius which covers her whole house. I'm not sure if she would be able to communicate with anybody on that if she fell in the bathroom. Given where we placed the unit which is probably in the opposite direction of the bathroom, she would never hear that person talking through the intercom. If ADT wants to continue with that technology, maybe continue with satellite speaker microphones that you can put in different areas of the house and not the main hub unit.

The young lady who was the customer service person that I talked to was awesome. She took her time with me and answered questions. She was very relatable. She had said she had a grandmother and somebody that had used it. We talked semantics and logistics and how it worked. I had talked to two other companies but with her, ADT has got a salesperson. She doesn't go through the script, rush you through and sound like a freaking automated service. She makes it very personable and that's hard to do coming from a big company. I feel like, to this day, if I needed to call her for something, that she would try to help me the best she could. That was the number one reason I went with ADT. I don't like great, big corporations but when you're going to do GPS tracking for somebody and call emergency services, you want a big corporation that has the ability to do that. Not all ADT's reviews were great but no company has 100% great reviews. If they did, then something would be suspect.
However it’s a little misleading. I didn't understand fully that you don't just get to wear the bracelet out then if you have an emergency, hit it. You got to take that little square GPS thing with you every time you go out. That thing is thick and big and I don't want to have to take that whole thing with me. One thing I would change is make that thing smaller. That was the only reason I was looking at a couple of other companies. One of them offered something very similar but you didn't have to have both. If you wore the watch, you didn't have to have the other thing.

The ADT Medical Alert seems to fit in fairly well. I've had a couple of false emergencies where it went off when I didn't mean it to. I hit the reset button and it stopped.

I’ve had a wonderful experience with the ADT Medical Alert team and the button is great. I put it around my neck and anywhere I go around or outside the house, I know I'm safe and secure, in case something should happen. My husband and I tested it. He pushed the button but it was a little too loud. It was overbearing. I'm gonna have him see if he could get that put down.

The reps of ADT Medical Alert were extremely friendly.

I feel comfortable with my device on and I don't take it off unless I'm in the shower. I feel good to know that I just have to hit a button and I'll have some help if I need it. Call and sign up. ADT is right on the stick as far as contacting their customers.
