I'm 91, sometimes live alone, and have fallen a few times. I also had a couple of times when I've punched the device by mistake and set it off. BlueStar quickly answered, and I just told them that I punched it by mistake and there's nothing wrong. My biggest problem is that most of the time, it's sitting on the desk, instead of where it ought to be, and I can't get used to it. Other than that, I would absolutely recommend it.

I used Connect America before and I like them but I canceled the service when I sold my house and moved to a smaller apartment. I have people around me, so I didn’t feel I really needed a medical alert service, but now I wanted one to make my family feel better. I had a TIA which is a small stroke and it was something that could happen again so I needed to be connected to emergency help promptly.
I went online looking for a device that I could use while I was in my car or visiting friends or family. BlueStar had a GPS system that suited my needs perfectly. I also got some much-needed discounts from it because of the fact that my husband was in the Navy. I've tested it twice and I thank the Lord that I never had to use it yet. I also talked to their customer service on three occasions and they were very polite, informative, and instructed me in layman’s terms on how to reactivate my device. There were a few complications in the beginning, but they got it all straightened out and I'm very pleased. They're a wonderful group and I feel really secure with them at my back.

My father is a veteran and I did some time in the military myself so that’s what made me select BlueStar. I just got out of the hospital and I have some medical problems. I’m a severe asthmatic and I’m on oxygen and I had passed out and I was home alone. BlueStar does everything I was told it does and I’m pleased with it. Working with their reps were, in my opinion, exceeded professionalism. They were very understandable. They explained stuff to me and they answered all of my questions that I had. They were very honest with some questions that I was posting to them. I think they’re super and I hope they go far. I hope a lot of people choose them.

I was in the process of contacting one life alert company because I wanted one in the home for my husband and I received a phone call from BlueStar. I'm all for veteran things and my husband was a World War II veteran and he’s into supporting veterans so we got a medical alert device from them. My husband falls a lot and I was scared that he would fall when I was not in the house. It's getting to the point where I either got to be in the house or take him with me so I'd be the one pushing the button when I need help. He refuses to put the device on his wrist, but I have the machine hooked up and hopefully I can talk him into it sooner or later. He doesn’t do well on the phone and he’s very hard of hearing, but the device is sitting by his chair, so I'm hoping if I'm out of the house for some times that he would push the button if he was in trouble.
The device has been tested and I questioned the response time when I first did it then it was a little bit better the second time. Also, I called up because I couldn’t figure out how to hook it to my phone because I have Comcast and it goes through a modem and all this funky stuff. The gentleman I spoke to was very helpful and he took the time and walked me right through it. So, it's a very positive response. I'm very happy and everyone is very polite.

I'm lightheaded and almost losing my balance so I needed something if anything happens. I tried to get a medical alert system before but it didn't work out since they only gave the local area and I wanted one to go out. BlueStar was then available and they had a veteran discount so i went with them. I was okay with what they've done with the medical alert device and it was the simplest one. It's been fine too with the BlueStar team. I've talked to their rep regarding billing and stuff and they're always very friendly and decent.

I like that BlueStar is owned by veterans. It's a very big thing for me to purchase from them. When I bought my device, the gentleman answered the questions that I had so that I understood what was going on. I got it because I’m 72 years old and I tend to fall. I've been able to get back up on my feet but I'm afraid that one day it’s not gonna happen. However, I've some paperwork that I have to fax to them and I haven't done it yet because I'm in the hospital. I feel bad because I want to take advantage of the BlueStar unit.

I feel really secure knowing that I have that button to push with BlueStar. Because my husband loves to play golf and I'm often a widow for a couple of hours. So, it's nice having that alarm. I've only had it for a while. I've been living in Norway for 32 years, and I just came home to Florida six weeks ago. Everything is so brand new to me. I'm just trying to get myself setup. I've got multiple sclerosis, and 100% in a wheelchair. My husband just had a liver transplant so he cannot lift me, and if I fall, he cannot pick me up. So, I will need him to call BlueStar and get somebody out here and lift me up.
We did a test when we set up the apparatus. It was to push the button and hold it for eight seconds and wait until somebody answers and somebody did. He was very professional, attentive and courteous. He took care of the questions that I needed answered. I'm very pleased with the service. The person who sold me this told me that he was gonna go on the honor system since my father and two brothers had served in the US military and none from my married family. He took that as my word of honor, which doesn't exist too much these days. My word was taken and I felt like a million bucks.

I got a lot of illness, fall down a lot and live at home alone. I had a medical alert device before but I like BlueStar's better. Everyone in their team I talked to was very nice and professional. If I ask them questions, they're quick to reply. I like BlueStar and have told a couple of my friends about it. I've used my device twice and it took forever for the ambulance to get here, but that was the paramedic's fault, not BlueStar's.

I live alone and fall all the time, so I got a medical alert device from BlueStar. I set it up as far as I can last week, and did a test trial.

My husband broke his hip and is using a walker. He also has balance issues. So when BlueStar HonorCare offered the option of not having to push the button, we got their alert device for him. The first gentleman I talked to was very informative and when we tested the device, their team has been responsive. Everything is fine right now and my husband wears it.
Reviewed Oct. 10, 2016
BlueStar called me and what they had to say sounded good. I hadn't really investigated any others up until then. I went ahead and gave it a try because there's no permanent obligations set. So if down the road something else came along that better suited my needs, I could always make that change. As of now, I really haven't had any issues that I would see where I would be in imminent need of it. I like to be an independent person but as I age and my mobility deteriorates, there's so many chances of something happening especially when I'm out alone.
The only dislike I have is the size of the unit. It is a rather large unit in comparison to what I anticipated. I've seen others advertised that appear to be smaller. They sent me with a bracelet or something where I could wear it on the wrist but to me, it's so large and broad that I wouldn't want it on my wrist. It almost looks like a regular size clock and now I usually carry it in my pocket. Another problem I had that I solved that myself is the flickering green light. It kept me awake the first night I got it so I put a piece of tape over it and that way, it still blinks but it's not as noticeable.

I feel safer with BlueStar and I'm very satisfied with it. My daughter first mentioned BlueStar to me because she was gonna be gone for a while and wanted to try it. I was going to be at the house alone for a while so it will be for my other children checking in on me because the one who lives with me was on vacation. It has worked out good. I wear it and I have it in case I trip and fall or need it. I'll be 90 in March. I haven't had any emergencies yet and I hope I won't. I have it in case I do and the first one on the call is my brother who's about three or four blocks down. He lives down close to Lake Apopka and he could be with me in just a few minutes.

I have a history of coronary problems and a gentleman found out that my late husband was in the service and told me about the BlueStar device which he thought was a good idea for me.

I had been looking around on the internet for different companies and prices. I listened to them talk and got really impressed with the Veteran part because my oldest grandson is a veteran. I've only had it for three weeks now and so far, it's good. My health is fairly good, but this is a backup in case I'm by myself. I usually have a lot of people around me, but there are certain times when everybody's gone. And that's the times that I needed some extra feeling of security. Their employees were very helpful, nice, knowledgeable and friendly. They answered every question that I had and that was one of the reasons why I chose BlueStar. The only thing that I dislike is trying to wear it around my neck. But I've solved that problem on my own by tucking it into my bra.

My health is not bad, though I am getting older but it's always good to have a medical alert device in case something does happen. I've been seeing a lot of advertisements from BlueStar for a long time and then this one girlfriend of mine comes and advised that I should get one of those medical alert things. I didn't want to at first, but I finally decided when I got a call from the solicitors. I had been feeling a little lightheaded and dizzy at times and I hold on to things, so I thought I might need one of those. I do have someone living with me, but I still need something like that to help out in case something does happen. When I got it for the first time, I tested it and they came and talked to me.

In July, we were robbed of our money and phones. We were at a place where there were no phones around and no one was at the house we were at so one of my sons had to walk up and down the road to find help.

I had two strokes while I was driving which was scary. And I didn’t have anybody with me. So I got a medical alert device and that way, if something happened, I could push the button wherever I'm at and people are gonna come to me. My brother had a BlueStar in his Cadillac so when he had a bad accident, the device was already on to let the company know that he was in an accident. That's what made me go with BlueStar. When I got the device, we tested it so as to activate it and the company's people responded in a timely manner. They also said that even if I push the button and they can’t respond, they still would know where I’m at because it’s like a tracking device, which I like.

I corresponded with BlueStar and they got back with me. Their rep said I was eligible for a military discount and the price was a dollar a day to save my life. So to me, it's well worth it. The only problem I've had was when we first got it started, but they got it straightened out. I didn’t get my unit when they said I was going to get it. Somehow there was a clerical problem and then they sent me a follow up about my medical two weeks ago and they called me and said to send that in, but I haven’t received it. I called them back and talked to one of their associates and they told me that the zip code that they had sent that letter out was wrong. I updated my zip code so they should be sending me that letter. Other than that, their reps have been really nice about everything.
I've checked my medical alert one time when I was away from home in another county. It's been awhile since I had it and I never did a test on it. Then, two weeks ago I did a test here in a county where my mom was at and they came right in, and they could hear me fine. So far, everything looks like it's working all right. I keep it charged up every so often so I'm always getting a signal wherever I'm at.

BlueStar people are great and very nice folks, but the equipment did not work properly especially on the GPS issue. I was at Dallas, Fort Worth Airport, made a trial call and they didn't know where I was, so that's not good. And then, I tried to call from Durham, North Carolina. I was at a Super 8 Hotel and would skip across the street around the corner of the hotel where I was. If I fall down in a hotel room and then I go in the bathroom, I don't get picked up, so the device makes no sense that's why I'm returning it. Nevertheless, the reps were fantastic. I would recommend BlueStar, it's a great company, and I love them very much.

I love my iHelp medical alert unit from BlueStar. When I talked to one of their agents, they explained what the benefits were and that it was a GPS unit, so I thought it was gonna be like my previous one. But when I got the device, it's smaller and lighter which surprised me. I have to hold its button longer so I don't accidentally make a call. Then the agent gave me the price which blew me away. It was only $31 as opposed to other GPS units that I could find out there which were in the $45 to $50 range.
I've had a previous device wherein there's a button I'd push. So if I'm in the bathroom and the unit was sitting out on the kitchen bar, I won't be heard but they may send an ambulance even if I'm not gonna need one. But with the BlueStar unit, if I fall, I would be heard. I pressed it once as it was blinking funnily and though I haven't had it on the charger in over two days it was still okay. When I put it on the charger the red light went out in a few hours.

BlueStar Veterans called me and the rep was fine and the service was great. BlueStar is a lot cheaper, cost me nothing to start it up, and a lot better, so I'm well pleased. The other one I got to have startup cost and a monitoring cost so it costs a little more. The BlueStar team is sweet, courteous, and they get back and check on me, which is nice.

I needed a medical alert in case of emergency and BlueStar Honor Care was there so I went them. So far, our experience with them has been good and their reps were very friendly.

When I had the CareLink system, it became defective. The thing that blew me with that company was when I called, they told me they couldn't get a hold of my uncle and I had to wait. If I had a heart attack, which I had before, I would have died then. I spoke to a Rear Admiral and he sold me the BlueStar system. Him being a Rear Admiral, he wouldn't put his name on anything unless he knew it was good.
BlueStar has been good to me so far. When I first got it, I tested it out a couple of times. There were some other times too that I had a false alarm that was accidental, but they still were there and they answered the monitoring system. I feel very comfortable with them. Additionally, I like the way the BlueStar system is set up. I prop it in the cradle and it charges itself. I would certainly recommend BlueStar and have recommended it to 135 people where I live.

On or about Aug 4 Terry ** called me as a follow up to my request for information on a GPS medical alert device offered through BlueStar. He was very knowledgeable and I signed up for the Admiral program. He told me I would have the device and lock box in 3-5 days. It would come via Federal Express and I would have to sign for it. On Aug 8 I called to get a more specific date as I wanted to make sure I would be there to sign for it. The customer service rep I spoke to said she would look into it and get back to me. She never did. I called again the following week of Aug 15 and was told there was some confusion with my address and it would be going out. I called twice again the week of August 22 and was told it would arrive by Fri Aug 26th. It never did.
On the 26th I left a message with Terry ** and customer service to please call me as I wanted to cancel since I had no confidence in the company to fulfill its service. I called again on Monday Aug 29th and left another voice message as no one was available in customer service. I finally received a call back around noon today. The representative said they instructed the fulfillment dept to overnight my order. I told her to cancel as I had no confidence in the company. I was given misinformation and was lied to. She asked me if there was anything they could do. I said no and she said they would cancel my account. Needless to say it was a horrible experience and makes me wonder if the company is even in existence.

So I went to the internet and typed in what I wanted, and they gave me three names. I contacted all three names, and BlueStar was the first one that responded. I liked what they said, so I contracted to have their program. The other two companies did respond, but it was the next day. I was happy with what BlueStar told me they offered. That was what I needed and wanted.
I bought this device that hangs around my neck. Once in the middle of the night, I turned over and the medallion didn't turn over with me. It flopped over a minute later, and they called to find out if I was all right or if I had fallen. I felt very comfortable with the fact that they had called me when they noticed something wasn't right. Now, I have taken to not wearing it at night. I have it in its cradle, the string hanging down, so that if I forget what I'm doing and get up in the middle of the night and fall, I could get a hold of it and pull it down.

But I’ve spoken to their team a couple of times because they told me when I first got it that I needed to do so to make sure it was working once a week or month and everybody sounds great on the other end.

I went online and requested AARP to give some recommendations for a life alert type of mechanism and BlueStar was the first one they came up with. However, I had read some advertising for some of the others and so I thought to call around and find out. The first one I called was the most expensive one for just having the alert work in my home, not outside my home, so I was very glad that I had not continued with them and I proceeded to call several others, ending up with BlueStar. I spoke to Jim at BlueStar who was very specific and very helpful. He wanted me to go with the cheapest one, which was around $28, but that would only have been for my home.
I'm gonna be 86 on the 6th of September, but I am a very active 86-year-old. I attend four different singing organizations and I'm out, at least, two or three nights a week plus possibly during the day. So, I need to have that alert with me. Although I have many friends and neighbors who are very helpful and close, I still feel that my friends and my family are more satisfied when I have something that I can push a button so that help will be there, so I went with BlueStar. It also makes me feel good that BlueStar is affiliated with the American Legion because I like doing business with people who take care of the veterans. I would highly recommend them to friends and anyone who is in my circumstance. They would find very courteous and helpful people. They would find peace of mind and pure satisfaction.

I'm a fall risk and have a caregiver, but I needed a medical alert device in case I would need assistance getting to the hospital. My family had been asking me to get one for years but I kept on saying that I didn't need it. Even when I lived alone, I never thought I really needed one. But since I moved and my care has gotten to be more needy, I figured it was time to get one. I had started looking at different places and thought that BlueStar's pricing was equal to the others so I might as well go with them since my husband was a veteran. I got their Admiral Protect device.
I've never needed them to come to my aid but have accidentally pressed the button six times. One time it was underneath my arm and I just happened to press it when I was in the car with my son-in-law and he hit a bump. The device is fine but I have trouble keeping it in the same place because it keeps on falling over to my side. I recommend that they try to make a device that's smaller and not so heavy. Still, BlueStar's response was quite quick. Everything has been very cool, calm, and collected. It gives me and my family a sense of security. I have a good experience with them, but I'm going to be returning the device because I'm entering an assisted living place within the next week.

So far I’ve been happy with BlueStar although sometimes it’s hard for me to hear it. I have to hold it up where I can actually hear what’s being said but that’s because I have bilateral hearing loss so it’s my problem. Everybody that I talked to has been extremely knowledgeable. I got the equipment in a very timely manner. They even sent me a deal where I have something to hang on my door to put my spare key and so that if there’s any need, they don’t have to break the door down and they can use that spare key.
I’ve pushed it a couple of times not realizing it until I got a call asking me what my emergency was in which I'd tell them that it was just a mistake. Otherwise, I haven’t had anything come up that I’ve needed any assistance. However, it takes a little bit longer for them to make the connection. They come on and the only bad thing is that I can’t tell whoever it is that there is no emergency so I have to wait until the 911 person comes in and tell them that it was an accident.
I went up to my sister’s house and showed them what BlueStar was like because her family is after her to get a different type of alert than the one that she has now which only works for 150 feet from her house. I showed them that even if I was three counties away from where I lived, I was still able to pick up the signal. I did the test on it and I asked the lady the location where I was then, and she said Nashville, Arkansas which is exactly where I was. That really impressed my sister so I think when things settle down, she’s going to check it out and get one for herself.

I’m a widow and I’m home alone. I once tripped in my yard and hurt myself. I was bending over in the yard and stubbed my toe in a stone and fell down. I can’t get up without pressing on something so I scooted into the garage and pressed on a bench to get up. The fact that I can't stand up once I’ve fallen down outside made me think that I should get the Sentry Medical Alert. My daughter calls at 7:00 every evening but still 24 hours in between is a long time if you’re stuck on the ground.
I considered another medical alert system that was only $20 a month but they had an expensive setup fee and it would have totaled about $120. With BlueStar, there was no startup fee and there was a $25 coupon in the magazine so I’m not going to pay until the 7th of August. I got a lock box, too. I've tested the device twice now. It took maybe half a minute before they got back to me. It's been a very good experience and they’ve been very helpful.

The door just locked behind me and I didn't realize that the gate was blocked with a big thing and I can't get in the house. I had a brick wall all around me inside the gate. I got on the gate screaming and hollering at people outside, but they didn't hear and can't see me. I have the key in the garage but I couldn't get out of the yard. So I stayed there from 9:00 until 9:30 the next day. It was cold and I was fixing to go to bed and I just had a short-sleeved pajama and shorts because it's been warm that day. By night, it froze and it was sprinkling. I cried my heart out and hollered for help but nobody came. I was so helpless and nervous and I've been real sick in the hospital with my arthritis and my osteoporosis. I'll never forget the fear that I had that night.
My son, who lives in Atlanta, got scared and called me the next morning and said he was going to get me one of those things I can keep in case I got hurt. He found out about BlueStar, checked it online and got the iHelp medical alert for me. It's a little heavy than usual and I put it around my neck. One time, I was changing clothes and somehow it came on. It scared me because I heard somebody talking and I'm not used to it. The woman on the other end told me she would send help if I needed it or if there's an emergency. But I said it was nothing and I apologized. It happened about two more times by mistake and I apologized right away.
The device is working great and I carry it with me day and night. I never part from it because it's expensive and my son's paying for it, plus he worries I'll have another problem.

BlueStar HonorCare’s working fine for my mom. It has gone off a couple of times. One time, she leaned down really quick and was bending over to grab her shoes out of the closet and stayed that way – which was fine because from what I understand, if one would pop down quickly and then pop back up, it doesn’t come as a fall. But if one would go down and stay there for a second or more, it takes it as a fall and they'd call right after. They called her back and I thought it was fantastic. The response times or their level of professionalism has been satisfactory so far and she hasn’t had any complaints.
Everything is going well. Then they sent some paperwork to fill out for who is on first call. There was something supposed to be like a contract, and there was another piece of paper with it saying the conditions and liabilities, and I never received that. It went to her house which is in South Carolina, and I'm in Virginia. I'd like to get a copy of it so I can finish that and send it in.

My only complaint is that the ribbon gets wet since I wear the pendant in the shower.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call our Customer Care team at 800-300-1724. We hope both your folks stay strong, and thank you for taking time to give a review.

I live upstairs and I’m going up and down my stairs. I was afraid of falling dragging my groceries up so I bought a medical alert device. I liked BlueStar better than another one that I had. It’s good. Once when I mashed the button, there is someone, after two or three rings, who responded immediately, and I like that.

We are glad you are happy with your BlueStar device, Mildred. If our customers are not happy, then we are certainly not happy! Please take extra time going up and down the stairs (and maybe you have a neighbor to help carrying the groceries?) and remember to test your medical alert at least once a month. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call us at 800-300-1724.

In the building where I live, we have something that the office gives the residents to put around their neck. However, it only works when you're in the premises. If you go out some place, you have no help. I got BlueStar Admiral Protect because they have the box and they keep calling me. Everyone should have protection everywhere not just in the building so I would always recommend that someone should get the one that I have. Also if I move from here, I can use the Bluestar.

I have BlueStar medical alert but I haven’t had a lot of experience with it yet. I haven’t got my lock on my door, but the key is in it and I also don’t have a charger for the car. I don’t know if the charger was part of it or if it was going to be an extra thing. But, anything else has been really nice. I can wear the button and it is a bit larger than what I expected it to be, but it's still appropriate. The light stays on all the time or it blinks, but that’s okay. I like the feature where the GPS tries to find you wherever you are like if you're walking in a park in Colorado and you fall. Then, if you're in your car and you have an accident or if you knock yourself out at the house, there's a fall message on it and you wouldn’t have to push the button. I have not had an emergency, but I have pushed the button twice and there was a quick response on both times.

BlueStar is very pro-veteran - it seemed like they planned it for war veterans and I have not heard of any medical alert companies that seemed to be focused on veterans before. Their response was also immediate. They were calling me right after I got off the phone. Additionally, they were very professional and very kind. My voice is almost non-existent right now but they have great patience with me, listening and waiting to hear each of my questions out and waiting to hear if I had any more questions if need be to make sure that everything is taken care of. I told my provider at the VA about them and she had passed it on to other patients so that they know they have a choice and basically they might find out about something good.

We were looking for something for Dad to help him stay in his apartment and one of the things was the fall detection device that BlueStar has. We got the Admiral Protect model and we were given a discount for my father being a veteran. There hasn't been any emergency where he needed to request for help, but they did a test a couple of times and he said it takes forever for them to give him a call. Dad is on a 30-day free trial and it's close to the 30th day and I haven't heard anyone contacting us. The salesman that I talked to said that this 30-day free trial is just what it is, and what I want to do is the pay for 11 months and have the 12th month free.

I wanted a product that would take care of me anywhere I go so I got BlueStar and so far, I'm very happy with it. I wear it around my neck, but unfortunately, it's right at the area where if I bend over, I hit something and I set it off. And I can't wear it as a clip on my pocket because I wouldn’t be able to get to it. But I was able to use it once because I fell in the bathroom at 2:00 in the morning and their response was very good.

Although we haven't had to use our help button from BlueStar, my husband read that it's good to test it once a week. We have tested it and found no problems.

BlueStar called and said "We're going to have fire trucks and police." and I said no. They asked me if I was alright. They were fantastic.

I was looking on the computer for a medical alert device. I came across and called a few providers, including BlueStar. BlueStar was cheaper so I chose it. When I first got the device, I pushed the button to see if everything was okay and the woman told me to wait a minute. I didn't like that response since what if I was bleeding to death or having a heart attack? I purposefully haven't called them because of this but nobody from BlueStar has ever called me to see if the device is working right. Hence I've been thinking of cancelling with them and getting a different device.

Checking on my mother, I had found her on the floor in the bathroom. In pain, dried urine & wet urine. After having my mother checked out & off the floor. She stated that she had pushed her button but nobody came. I called to speak with one of the operators who at that time proceeded to tell me that yes it shows my mother had pushed her button. The man that responded couldn't understand what she was saying so he didn't send an ambulance. Or even call anyone on her list.
I was livid. I stated that it is in her file to call me ANY time that my mother pushes the button due to I live on the same property, just diff. Apt. I can get to her faster and if need be call for EMT myself. But most importantly Being that you couldn't understand an elderly person would be a great reason to place a call to 911. #1 sign of a stroke or heartache!!
My mother was on the floor for hours. Overnight. Cold and in pain. Thankfully she turned out to be ok. But she has Alzheimer's, Dementia & a high fall risk. Has pins in her ankle & wrist due to prior falls. YOU DON'T JUST IGNORE SOMEONE & NOT CONTACT ANYONE!! After all that IS the reason for purchasing the services in the 1st place. I could no longer do business with a company I can't trust. Not with something this important.

I ordered BlueStar for my mom. She's 87 years old, lives alone and had fallen in February where she fractured some ribs. So it was important for me to provide her with a medical alert device. Initially, I didn't hear a lot about BlueStar. Their advertisement is not as much as the one for Life Alert so the first company I called was Life Alert but their prices were a little steep. So when my friend started doing research online, he found BlueStar and sent me their information. They were a lot more economical than some of the others and I like that they were assisting the military folks as my dad was in the military. Also, the salesperson was very knowledgeable on all my questions.
So far it's going good. At first it was hard for my mom because she is elderly and was accidentally hitting it a few times. But she's gotten the hang of it and is a little more cautious about having it on, wearing it and not hitting it. The only thing is that she was supposed to get a free lock box at the time of our order and we never received it. And so I haven't had time, but I've been wanting to call and let someone know that we need to get that lock box.
Also, I feel like that length of time for them to answer could be shortened or they could be more prompt. When my mom accidentally hit the button she said that they called her back and she told them it was an accident. Maybe they didn’t hear her, and what ended up happening is they called the ambulance or the firemen, and then they called my daughter to let her know that they were sending someone over. But when I called BlueStar it took a while for them to answer and by this time the firemen were at my door so it was too late for me to cancel. However, they told me that they tried to call my mother back but she wasn't answering.

My daughter got me my BlueStar medical alert device and I have been adjusting to it ever since she set it up. There’s nothing wrong with it, but I’m still learning. It is different from the others - it’ll talk to you or you can talk to the phone. The device even tells me if I need to put it on the charger if I forget. At first, I was told that it’s water repellent and I can take a bath while wearing it. But when I took one bath with it, its cord started scratching and scrubbing me. I’ve tried different things to cover the cord. Because if I put it next to my skin, I can feel it. Also, it blinks at me when I pull it out, and the instructions say it will go 36 hours or depending on how you’ve used it, it may be more or less. I’m still experimenting with what to put on it, with what to do with it, or how to remind myself that I have it. I can really ignore it - I put it on and don’t think about it until I bump it against something.
One time, when I was in the church, I dropped my pen and it fell on the floor and rolled under the bench. When I reached right over and leaned all the way down, the device turned on. So whenever I bump it accidentally, it will tell me. In fact, last night, I bumped it and it lit up but didn’t tell me anything. I found out the hard way that I can push the button and turn it off, and then push it again and it will turn it back on. When I took a bath one day, I took it off and put it on top of my dirty clothes hamper. It was too low because, after a few minutes, it said something about fall indication, so it felt like I had fallen down. It stayed there for a few minutes, and longer than the device wanted to, so I picked it up.
Also, the first day I went to Planet Fitness, I called the BlueStar operator before I went in and told her that I’m going into the exercise room. The lady then told me to set it aside for a while, but I told her I’m going to go to the stationary bike and the treadmill. I don’t really do anything vigorous or outlandish. I exercise a little bit and it has been all right because I can connect it to a belt holder or the cord.
I like the feeling that I am protected anytime or if I’m by myself at night and I can push the button to call for any kind of help and not only for medical reasons. BlueStar's phone operators are really good and they’re accustomed to me calling for no reason and they tell me it is fine. They are very nice, and they know who I am. It’s not many times that I’ve had to talk to them, but the very last time I got a man, he asked me if I had an emergency. Maybe they know when it’s an emergency because I bumped it and it was only a light tap. They’ll phone if it’s okay, and it’s good that the operators are there because I’d hate to be talking to a medical working person who wanted to do something for me and I’m calling them for no reason distracting them from their work.
It takes a little while to adjust to it. You don’t just put it on and know what to do with it even when you read all the instructions. People would have to learn that it is something new and it takes an adjustment to it. Also, I don’t need to feel that I’m doing something really terrible because when I touched the button accidentally, I didn’t have a problem. I try to use it as much as I can and overall, it's nice and it works well. I like it and it keeps me on my toes.

I’m satisfied with my Bluestar medical alert device. It is way better than the older one that I had. The people at Bluestar explained everything to me and said I could wear it into the shower, but I had never gotten in the shower with it yet. I wear the device around my neck, and I haven’t had any emergency yet but I keep it on me when I am alone. I’m mostly at home, and I don’t live alone but sometimes I am left alone when the people I live with go to the store. It takes but a minute for things to happen, so I decided to let Bluestar send me the device. My niece lives with me, and she set up the device and knows how to work all the different things about it. If something goes wrong, I tell her and she shows me what to do.

Other providers called me, but they didn't follow up and come to see me. I didn't really need it as bad then, but decided that I do now so I went ahead and ordered from BlueStar HonorCare. The team members sent me the box and I had my son to hook it up where I sleep on the couch and have a table beside it. They're going to take payments out of my checking account every month. If I have to have it, then I've got the bracelet and a necklace, but I use the bracelet by my wrist. Although I haven't tried it, I think I will have to go with the necklace because the bracelet bothers my wrist or bone in it. It has the red lights on, so that means it's working. We called them to tell them that it was working, and I have to report every so often. My neighbors also got one from somewhere, and she has to call on her birthday every year and let them test it out. So far she's not had a trouble with it, so I'm hoping mine works okay too.

BlueStar was the first one that called and that was almost as soon as he got up from the computer. They were prompt so I went with them. Also, they said something about veterans. Since my husband was a veteran of World War II, I got a special discount. However, I haven't gotten my device yet. I called Monday and they said there was a back order on it.

My mom fell three times this year. Once, I was there. Twice she was by herself. She got herself up but it's better to have a medical alert device and not need it than need it and not have it. So I ordered BlueStar for her and we're happy with it. I was hunting around and comparing prices, and I saw them online. I called them and they gave me the information that I needed. I was content with the way they talked to me on the phone so I went ahead and purchased. They also gave discount for the veterans, and I am one.
The sales rep was very nice and broke down how much it would cost if I paid it all at once, which is what we did. He also told me we could use it for 30 days and see if we enjoyed it, and then they would bill afterwards. That was perfectly fine because there was no pressure. I set the device up and it was easy. We tested it and it worked out real well. It was a nice experience, and I've recommended BlueStar to two other people.

We got BlueStar medical alert device, but we're still testing it out since we've only had it for a few days. The machine was blinking when we first set it up. And then from there, I called a gentleman at BlueStar and we had to reset the actual machine. But he told me that I have to wait for all the little dial tones, and it was like a minute and a half. But when something is to happen with the elderly person and they push their button, the response time needs to be quicker, not a whole minute. That's very critical time, especially for somebody at the age of this person I am taking care of. Also, the way that they have the bracelet automatically clip around the arm is good. But the size of the ornament itself is huge. If they could have a variety of bracelet sizes for the seniors, that would be a good thing.
