I don’t have a really good health. I've had four heart attacks, I'm diabetic, I have asthma and I fell at times. I'm also living by myself now and I felt like I needed some kind of a safeguard in case I got sick or fell while I was by myself. A friend of mine told me about BlueStar and I ordered the Ranger. It gives me and my children peace of mind. I've tested it and I've talked to the BlueStar people because I made some mistakes and set it off when I wasn’t planning on it. Sometimes I just lean into something and it pushes the button and sets it off. The reps were right on it, called me and were polite and they made sure there wasn’t anything wrong. I like the device and found it to be a very satisfying piece of equipment. It makes me feel very secure.

I'm very unsteady on my feet, fall quite often, and I'm by myself so I felt that the medical alert is really something important. When BlueStar HonorCare sent me a card in the mail, I called them up and now I've had their medical alert for over a month. I wear it all the time and I appreciate the fact that I feel very secure with it. It started out good and there were times that the BlueStar team had to call me up and tell that the device was low on batteries. I charged it up right away but then I got to the point that they called on a steady basis and I have to charge it every 24 hours. So they sent me a new charger which came yesterday, and I'm hoping the battery will now last longer. The BlueStar team has been great and wonderful. Also, I've talked to a woman before and I told her how great the BlueStar medical alert is, that I really recommend it, and gave her the telephone number.

I was reading up on medical alert systems, and thought that it would be a good thing to do because sometimes, I’m home alone by myself. If I do go out to different places, my son thought that I might need it too because I always talk to him about it. Even my daughter was glad that I decided to get one because I have a problem with walking with my knees, and she worries about me all the time. I got the ranger medical alert from BlueStar Veterans, and it’s a good thing to have if you’re all by yourself a lot of the times. So, if I’d have an accident, I’d have it and it would be helpful. I haven’t had to use it for anything yet. But, I figured that if I did, they’ve got all my information, and I think that they would respond pretty good with it.

I had a Medical Alert but they treated me so mean and I got rid of it. I sent the device back to them then they had made me pay $75, saying it was lost. But it wasn't lost because the mailman mailed for me. I tried BlueStar. I like it because no matter what happens, I can get help with it when I fall and can't get up. I've been keeping it on the charger a lot and and it's really good. I called them every week to ask if they got the money when I gave them a check because somebody beat them to it. Medical Alert went into the bank and took out some so I had to put some money into it again for BlueStar.

My wife has two types of cancer, and she’s walking around with a walker and a cane. In the beginning, she started falling down all the time, so we decided to get a medical alert device. I’ve called a few different companies, and the Ranger Medical Alert from BlueStar Veterans is an all-around better product than most products out there. I’ve had one from another company, which I paid more money for, but it didn’t do a whole lot. If I went away on vacation, I couldn’t use it. It also didn’t have other features like being waterproof.
When I called BlueStar, I liked what the representative had to say, and he talked me into getting one. And now that we have it, my wife is more independent, and we are worrying less. I called up on test mode, and they were perfect. And when I went on vacation and tried it down at Cape Cod, it worked perfectly as well. Then they told me that anywhere I go to try it, everything will be alright. BlueStar has got good service, and it’ll be the best money you’ll ever spend. Once you get it, you’ll never have to worry about your loved ones.

BlueStar's product is a wonderful thing to have and I have recommended them to every organization I belong to. They cope with the veterans and give them a discount. I'm 73 and I fell. I also have a lot of issues so I got their medical alert. But they put a thing on the doorknob and the keys on the door don't work. Every time I walk into the door, it's open and it's not closing right. I've had two already and neither one worked. So that's not good. I couldn't get back to their reps for some reason, too. My phone wouldn't work and it kept calling 911 for me. The button also wouldn't work. Finally, I got my granddaughter on my phone to help me with that.

Aside from being sick, I've been operated on for cancer. I live by myself, too. The device is very good, and the people from BlueStar are nice. They talk to me and explain everything. They also call me when something's going wrong or to let me know when my battery is low, which happened to me one time.

I'm deaf in one ear and not too swift in the other one, so I have to buy hearing aids. I got two of my daughters living here with me now but I am still going off by myself and I got leery of going out to drive. When I'm right at the house, I can fall off the bed and hurt myself. My daughter and I were looking to see what we thought did best and it was BlueStar, and it's important to have their medical alert in any way, shape, or form that we can because they deserve support. Since I got it, it made me feel a little more secure knowing that I got somebody with reach. I would recommend them.

I recommend BlueStar. It’s just that it’s so sensitive. When I hit something, it goes crazy. But it's worth having. When it goes off they respond right away. I feel comfortable with BlueStar. A friend of mine is going to take the same thing for her father.

BlueStar was thorough, and it sounds like they keep their customers in mind of what's going on, and very straight with them. I tried their device that I can use in the shower, but it's bulky. They have to hook up to the telephone, and I can't really get much help while I'm outside. It wasn't for me. I have the BlueStar Ranger and I'm really happy. I charge it up at night, and if I go anywhere during the day, I can stick it in my pocket or my purse. It's about the size of a dollar. I have it with me all the time. I've checked the device, and they were right on top of everything that's going on. I could have worn it around my neck or wrist, too. An adapter was there where I could wear it either way. I'd tell my friends to go for Bluestar. It's a matter of keeping it charged up and knowing it's there for you when you need it.

I am a senior citizen and I do a lot of gardening. Sometimes, I use my BlueStar pendant when I go to my garden because I'm afraid that something might happen and I want to have something to at least get help with if needed. The first time that I received this pendant, I called several times because I felt that it was not working very well. They explained everything to me and everybody tried to help me when I needed some direction.

I got BlueStar HonorCare's Ranger medical alert device before I went to the hospital. I had a weakness in my leg coming from my back and I may fall so I was trying out the medical alert. It has a GPS and they told me somebody would come if I press the button. Then I was in the hospital for about a month for a back surgery and I haven’t used the medical alert. Yet I’d recommend it to anybody who’d want one and looks like they need one. There’s nothing wrong with it and it’s a nice thing to have.

I had a stroke and heart surgeries five years ago. And I thought it would be good to have a medical alert device. The only thing I've done with my BlueStar HonorCare medical alert device was to make a test call and the BlueStar team was good. They've also called me twice telling me that they were getting a signal that the device's battery was running low even though it has been on the charger all the time. But everything worked right other than that.

Someone I knew had a BlueStar device and I was wondering what it was. I figured maybe I need one of those. I had medical problems and wanted to make sure I'm in contact with somebody to get me to the hospital. I'm retiring my BlueStar device, though. I'm not seeing what I expected from it. I've had the device for a year and I've reached out to the BlueStar team three or four times. Whenever I have an issue, I press the button, and it takes an hour for them to get to me. I don't think I'll recommend BlueStar. There's other things out there besides that.

I got the Ranger medical alert device through BlueStar instead of AARP. BlueStar was a little bit cheaper and has nationwide service, which a lot of others don’t. I've had the Ranger device for about a year now and having it, I can go outside. I’m absolutely thrilled with it and I love that they can find me when I’m in trouble or I’m sick no matter where I am in another town or state. I have a heart disease, COPD, and cardio vascular disease, and when I requested help with the button, BlueStar provided an absolutely excellent response service. They did an excellent job making the other phone calls to my family members, which turned out to be all that I needed. My family members were able to take care of it for me. Also, I have accidentally pushed the button before and they were extremely nice and didn’t seem short tempered or upset with me that I had made a mistake and wasted their time. I tell my friends to go with BlueStar.

I'm a diabetic and sometimes I feel like I'm going to fall on over. And being 70 now, I need something to use in case anything happens. BlueStar's offer seemed like a better deal that the others so I got their device. Every now and then, I check it to see it it's still working or if the battery is low. And so far, it's working as well as it could.

I kept on falling and had to call the emergency ambulance to get up. I had my phone outside when I fell, so after that, I tried to find one that would fit in my suit and decided to try the Ranger medical alert from BlueStar, which I’ve heard about from a friend. It’s handy, and I know that I can grab it when I need to. I’ve been with them for almost three months now. And though I haven’t used it yet, my grandkids have pushed it. So, I had to tell BlueStar that it was an accident, and that it was a false alarm. Nonetheless, their response time was quick, and they were courteous and polite.

I am a cripple and I still take care of myself in my own home and having BlueStar is one of my better decisions. I feel safer with it though I haven’t had to use it. I pressed my BlueStar Ranger to test it and see if it was dead or not and they came on line right away. I’m happy with it. If I have a problem and it worked, then God bless it.

I’m 75 years old and I go outside a lot. So, I figured that I should get a medical alert device. My wife’s got a BlueStar, so I picked this one, and she’s got one. Their representatives are professional, and they’ve been attentive as far as letting me know if the battery is dead, or is about to die. They’ve given me a phone call to check on it. They’ve also called me a few times on it to let me know that either I bumped it, or that the dog stepped on it when he was getting on my lap and triggered it, and we really appreciated those calls. I’d recommend them.

I could be anywhere and my BlueStar button would help me if I needed help. I'm left alone a lot and I could buzz out somewhere that they would be right there to help me. One day, my great grandbaby who is two, accidentally pressed my button. They called me right away to see if I was all right and it really made me feel secure. The person that I talked to also made me feel comfortable. Even when I initially called them about the button, whoever I talked to was very nice to me. I've told a few friends that fell about BlueStar. I told them they'd never know the day would come that they were going to need it.

When I called about BluStar, they told me it was all veterans that took care of it. I knew it had to be good because my husband, my father-in-law, my sons and my grandsons are all veterans. I stick with the veterans with everything I can. I had my BlueStar in my purse and my dog sat on my purse and set it off. They sent everybody to my house and I wasn’t even here. I was at the Moon’s Lodge. They notified my grandson and then my son called me. I got in my car and it rang again so I talked to them and I told them what had happened. They said they already sent somebody to the house. My daughter-in-law told me that they said it was low battery, reason they could not find me on at the Moon’s Lodge.
I brought it home and I put on charge soon as I brought it home. Sometimes, it beeps for nothing. When I put it on the charger, it becomes red and green and then the red goes right off. But I usually leave it on there. In the night time, when I go to bed, I leave it on charged because I got my phone right by the bed anyway. I would recommend them. If you need it, get it.

I like BlueStar HonorCare’s equipment very much as it’s very convenient, and I’m very grateful that it’s not black. I’ve had it for a short time but I haven’t needed to use it yet. I’m going to get new batteries as it tells me all the time that the battery is low when it is a rechargeable battery that is in there. That’s a technical question that I have to ask them about to find out why. I’m going to recommend BlueStar HonorCare to everyone else because I went through quite a few of the other companies that have this medical alert and they are not as nice as BlueStar’s and not as competitively priced either.

I was using Medical Alert before and I was not happy with them. I had paid them for the year and they charged me $488 for the renewal. I had a heck of a time getting my money back and they said it would take a month which was ridiculous. When I called BlueStar HonorCare, they wanted to know my complaints about Medical Alert. I told them that when I leave the house, I have to take the speaker with me in this Velcro container which is about three by two. It was more than I needed to be carrying around and I never carry a purse.
BlueStar told me that the gadget was all I needed to carry and all I had to do is charge it once a day. I take it out of the pocket of my robe and lay it on my night table at night. Before I come downstairs in the morning, I put in the pocket of my robe even if I'm going out. If I go out, I put it in my slash pocket and it doesn't take up hardly any room. On the other hand, I don't like the lanyard which is way thicker than what I had with Medical Alert so, I never ever put it around my neck and it's always in my pocket.
One time, I thought I lost the device so, I called in and asked how I went about replacing it. The woman said that it's a GPS and they knew it was near my home. I even went out into my car thinking I might have dropped it. In addition, I accidentally pushed the button one time and all of the sudden, a voice asked me if I was okay. They told me that I must have pressed the button and they were simply checking if I was all right. It was amazing that the voice came right out of the gadget.
The best thing about it is that all I have to do is press the button, hold it down and someone speaks to me. It's beyond anything I've ever heard of and I've told people about it. They said they were going to take care of their relatives and get BlueStar on my say. Also, I showed it to my doctor and he has an uncle that has Medical Alert. He said he would get his uncle to change. I showed him my GPS and told him what it did and it is better than Medical Alert. I love my BlueStar device.

After seeing the BlueStar HonorCare advertisement, I told my wife that we needed to have the medical alert because I’m falling down a little bit and if I fall down then I want somebody to come. We both have a medical alert for about 3 months now. I have the Ranger device with me wherever I go and she does, too. I have pushed it by accident and the paramedics came out like they were supposed to and looked around. It was fast. Also, BlueStar said they were going to put an alarm outside of the house so that when people came they could find that alarm thing and turn it off. But when they came there wasn’t one out in front here so I don’t know if we have one yet. Having BlueStar medical alert has been good for us and if others are interested in getting one then they should do that.

I wear the BlueStar device the time. I press SOS if I want the ambulance or the police to come, and somebody will come immediately. The BlueStar team will also talk to you and you could talk to them back. They call back immediately. By accident, I bend over and it pressed the device against the table that was beside me. The device came on right immediately. The team asked me if I was okay. I said it was an accident and apologized. They were right here, too. They said if the device went off, they come to see what was wrong with me, if I need an ambulance or the police. Overall, BlueStar has been right on the job.

BlueStar HonorCare is run by veterans so we got their Ranger medical alert device for my mom who’s 90 years old. She's had the device for about 5 months now and I worry a little bit less. But that’s probably a false thing to do because I never know if she always has it on her. The only thing we’ve had trouble with was getting it on the charger correctly and it wouldn’t charge, so they called me and they were good people. BlueStar is a good company, their price is reasonable, and one would get the same service from them like that of other companies.

Somebody called me about BlueStar HonorCare and I listened to what they had to say but I didn’t act upon it at that time. But right after that, I fell in the backyard, rolled down to the steps, hit my head on the steps and knocked myself out. It started raining and I woke up. That’s when I went ahead and decided to pull that number up. They said I can go anywhere and I don’t have to be at the house so I ordered the Ranger service button.
I tested it at first just to see that it worked and they came back and said it was okay. They know when it’s accidentally hit for just a brief second and they don’t respond to that. But when my grandson pushed it and held it for about two seconds, then they responded immediately. It was quick all the way around. They have called me twice since I got it and said that I needed to charge it back up. They told me it was generally three days but the battery charge only last about two days and no more than that so I wear it all day and then charge it all night. Everything has been perfect.

I'm on oxygen 24/7 and I have an artificial knee. I fell in my tub before so I thought that it was time to get a life alert. BlueStar HonorCare helps veterans and my father was in the service so I ordered the Ranger product from them. BlueStar's team has been very nice and respectful and they answered any question I had. When my son had a high-grade fever for two days and I couldn't break it, I pushed the button to get him help and the BlueStar team responded really fast. In the hospital, the doctor said that my son is lucky to be alive. He had such a severe infection in his body to have a heart surgery. If it wasn’t for the little button, he wouldn't be here today. BlueStar's product is very good and a lot of people could benefit from it. My son and I did.
