    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.

    ADT Medical Alert works just fine. The one on my wrist is what I'm using rather than the one around my neck. Probably too low for me and I couldn't get it adjusted any closer than that. I was out and about yesterday and forgot to take it off. But it's not intrusive at all. It's comforting to know that I can get some help if I need to. I just had my first power failure and wondered if I had to reset or do anything. The power just came back on and it seems to be okay.

    The ADT Medical Alert device used to have something to indicate to the user when it was offline. But now it's bad because I've found out that when the machine goes offline, no one knows that it is offlline. It doesn't increase my security. It has been offline for a while so I have to call them to fix the issue.

    I travel by myself and I like the GPS factor with ADT. One time, they called to tell me that my battery was low because I hadn't had it on the charger. I was so pleased. I was traveling and that told me that there's that connection and they're aware of what's going on in my household. It made me feel good. My only issue is that I don't like having something around my neck. But the only other option was wearing a wrist one and neither works for me, so I'm making it work out.

    We have the ADT house protection and my daughter looked into their Medial Alert because my husband had broken his hip and had to have a walker. He also has some dementia and wanted to be home, so we did. I have some trouble as well because in 2010, I had surgery and it caused me to have paralysis in my legs. My daughter thought that there was a little bit too much equipment here in the house to be without any kind of alert, so we got it. I'm wearing the device and we feel comfortable having it because both of us are on walkers. But we haven't had to use it, so I'm thankful for that.

    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. I was a deputy sheriff for 50 years in Sacramento County. I always had pretty good luck to respond to a lot of their alarms that would go off.

    I had an alert device for a number of years. I have ADT now and the stem of the arm bracelet is a little too long and it's annoying. I was thinking of cutting a piece off this. But if the stem is shorter, it might not hold in the strap. The device also not pretty. My wrist is small and when you look at my hands, you see something sticking up in the air. It looks silly. I wish ADT would tell me what to do so the band doesn't point out away from my arm. Other than that, the device is decent. It's clean and neat.

    I'm accustomed to having an alert device and it's a very good thing to have. No elderly person should be without an alarm system. In past years, I used it. Luckily, I haven't used this one so far. I was advised to test the device each month and the response has been good. I would recommend ADT just like my friend who has used them for years and recommended it to me. That was why I didn't bother to call anybody else and I called ADT and I took them.

    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.

    When we tested my ADT Medical Alert device, I realized that I have to be within a 10 feet radius for their reps to even hear me and for me to hear them. It seems that when they first sell it to you, they say that it'll carry the distance of a football field but then it doesn't. Of course, if I'm out in the yard and I push the button, I don't expect to hear what's being said on the machine. But if I'm in my home, I expect to hear it. They need to work on the technology a bit.

Other than that, it seems to work okay. Having the Medical Alert for my mother, I'm not as panicked, although we haven't had any emergency experiences. They call me immediately if she mashes the bracelet. They're very responsive and I've been very pleased with them.

    I feel a little more secure with my ADT medical alert. I don't worry now about going places and doing things. My family also feels a little more secure about my independence. If the part that I carry around in my purse could be made a little bit lighter, it would be helpful. I am also wondering if there is a watch I can wear instead of the thing around the neck. The necklace does work very well but I'm a little sensitive to having things around my neck. Other than that, it's a terrific device and terrific service. I'm very pleased with it.

    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.

    But I have loved my ADT medical alert device and my family has loved it for me too. It's given them a lot of peace of mind. They have called me to test it. They call me whenever I had been out of the house and had carried it with me and forgotten to put it back on the freaking charger. That was hilarious. They called my daughter and my daughter called me and told me, “Mom, put that back on the charger.” I forgot about it when I did get home.

    Robert wears that wristband all the time. He got a letter last week about that the unit was not being charged. When I was here, I went and looked at it. Robert and his daughter actually put the thing upside down. So it should have like an arrow which way to put it on the charger. It's very easy to put that upside down and then it's not charging. It's sitting in the cradle, but it's not charging. For an older person, that is not a good design.

    When you're dealing with older people, sometimes a step-by-step or a picture on what to do and how to do it is really what they need. They could make a handy little thing that he could put on his desk that shows what to do if things happen. But when I called ADT, they were as nice as could be. Their customer service is excellent.

    The ADT Medical Alert is super sensitive. I was putting off taking a shower because a week ago when I took a shower, the fire department ended up at my door. So, I just took it off and put it right next to the shower so that if I fall, I can reach it. But they've been very easy to work with. I have the lockbox at the door and It goes on the outside of the door that you put a key in. So, if some police need to get into your house, they don't have to rip the door off. I'm just putting off getting that set up because my friend tried to set it up and was not able to. My caregiver really worked on it for quite a while. That was when ADT said, "Send that one back and we'll send you a new one." So, I have to do it now, but I'm just not sure I can do it myself.

    We had Life Alert for quite a few years and I hated the way it made a sound when we would set it off to get help. The ADT had one that was quieter but yet I know when it goes off and it was a whole lot cheaper a month. I like it a lot better than Life Alert. Before, I can leave my husband at home and go shopping but now, I can’t go off and leave him unless somebody is here with him. He does fall and I was afraid he’d fall while I was gone but we will be placing him in a nursing home as soon as they get him qualified. So, I’m gonna have the ADT Medical Alert device changed into my name. It has been good but when my husband fell, it didn’t go off. He shivered, dropped down to 26 last night and he was having seizures. So, he's in the hospital right now. I brought the ADT thing home because I didn’t want anybody bumping it or setting it off.

    I first got ADT Medical Alert when my husband was still at home, because he would fall often. I've also had some falls and I'm living by myself, so we kept it for me. It's nice to know it's there. I used it a lot when my husband was here because he would fall in the middle of the night and I couldn't get him up. They would answer, "Joyce, are you all right?" and then I tell them what was going on, and they would send someone out, whatever I need. Sometimes it's the fire department. I've had them to come out several times and get him up. And they were so nice.

    A girl has been calling me once a week to see if I was all right. I had a bad fall two months ago, and I didn't happen to have my necklace on when I fell. So, I was just laying in the floor and I got to the phone and my daughter came. I broke a lot of ribs, so she has been calling me to see how I was doing. I've had caused the device to go off when I didn't mean for it to, light headed or something, and they would call.

    I started out with Life Alert. My children looked at that and they said, "We have ADT and we can get a better system with ADT than you do with Life Alert." So I canceled them and went with ADT. However, I have to take it off when I go to bed because it feels like it's trying to strangle me. I don't feel comfortable with it. The floors are wood but they're not slippery. So I'm able to go to the bathroom and come back to bed and do things that are normal at night. But when I get up in the morning, I take it out of its charger and put it in its pouch and hang the pendant back on me.

    But when I wear it in the shower, I have had problems with it. I haven't touched it and I haven't done anything. I haven't even bent over when it goes off. The first time that happened, I had left the main unit in its charger. Then I was in the shower and I couldn't hear it. So they were calling me. Finally, I got in touch with them before they called. But they had already sent a unit out to come and take care of me and I was fine. It's done that several times.

    Also, I'm very careful when I take it off and lay it very gently down on the window ledge right by my bed because it's gone off a couple of times just doing that. So the last time it happened, whoever I talked to said that they would consider sending me another one, that maybe this one was too sensitive. But this device makes me feel a little better. I have stepped on a step and started to fall backward and my daughter was right behind me. I am not in denial of my Parkinson's but I'm still walking and I'm still doing everything I normally did. It's just not as easy. So this lets me know that if I fall, I'm gonna have help.

I put it on the charger and half an hour later, it would say it was fully charged. Normally, it takes three hours to charge it. I would take it off and 30 minutes later, the voice would tell me the unit needed to be charged. This was going on day and night and I couldn't have that voice talking to me all night long.

    I talked with the company and they tried to resolve the issue. They sent me a second one, thinking the first one was defective. I tried that one for a couple of days and it did the same thing. It kept telling me I needed to charge it. The minute I put it on the charger, it said it was fully charged. Finally, I got so fed up with the unit that I sent it back. It might work perfectly for somebody else but for me, it was useless. We finally came to the conclusion that I live up in the mountains in Prescott, Arizona and I do have internet but it is weak.
