LifeFone Reviews

Because my husband was in assisted living, I was by myself. When my daughter had seen LifeFone on TV, she got it for me. I’ve used it at least three times. When I'm home or when I take a shower that could be dangerous, I always leave it on. The only thing is when I leave home, it doesn't do any good to take it along. When I go shopping or go to the hospital, I just leave it. But I'm home most of the time now. Also, I have the wrist-type and it irritates my skin. I think it would be worth it if I used the one around the neck, but that would be difficult and I don't want to carry one. Anyway, I have recommended it to several people.

I live alone and I'm 93 years old. My family and I thought that I should have a LifeFone medical alert system in case of an emergency. I called LifeFone once when my blood pressure was high and they sent an emergency. It was very good. I feel like there's somebody to contact in case necessary. I feel safer and I'm very satisfied.

My doctor recommended me to get a LifeFone so I did in cases of emergencies. The people at LifeFone are friendly. I have a good device from them and it makes me feel safe. Overall, the experience with LifeFone has been good.

My husband passed away two years now and I'm alone. I've also been seemly to fall a lot so my children said I have to have this LifeFone and I had used them twice. I fell in the kitchen, made a turn and broke my hip. They responded quickly and took care of me. They were helping me and by the time I got on the ambulance, the guy gave me something. The fall wasn’t that bad and their response was very good. Then I had also fallen in my living room. I tripped on the rug and fractured my wrist. Again, they came right away, put something on me, took me to the hospital and took care of me there.

We heard about LifeFone and the price seemed okay. We tried it and it's been comforting. Fallen a couple of times, needed to use it, and LifeFone reacted right away. We also check on it every once in a while to test it. Sometimes when the light flickers out and the battery goes down low, they call to check on us too. One time, it kept saying that the battery was low and I didn't know how that works but it seems to be working okay. They have also replaced the pendant but it wasn't working right and they had us test it. Other than that, everything has been good and I would recommend it to a friend.

I live by myself and my children thought it would be good to get a LifeFone. I haven’t had any reason to call for help yet but I’m satisfied with it.

My son found out about LifeFone and then he got it for me. The people at this company were very helpful and always very pleasant. Also, they’re always friendly when I call and I always call to check my utilities. It’s wonderful interacting with them. I had a very easy experience with LifeFone and I’d recommend it to my friend.

When I push the head of the arm watch of my LifeFone, I get a response and the people are here in short order. The fire department comes and they know how to get in my house and I don't.

LifeFone is very nice and I've only had to use it once. I'm more independent and have fewer worries having it.

My mom lives alone in a large house and we only have one family member who is living close to her. A medical alert system was something I pushed for her for years and she finally gave in and let me do it. We had very good information on five different companies but LifeFone seemed to provide everything that we required for the best price. Besides, family talks to her on the phone a lot too. Since then, we've had very little interactions with the LifeFone team. Mom hasn't had any issues since she was on the system. She did have it unplugged for a little bit that they had to contact us once. But besides that, everything has been well. I just feel better with it and I'm happy with the service. She feels safer too and is very happy with LifeFone.

I live alone and I've fallen three times. I broke my hips and my pelvis, so my nephew insisted that I get LifeFone. Having it makes me more careful, and I use it when I walk. If I fall, I’d talk to it. I hope I’d be able to get a person. Sometimes, my nephew presses the button to know if it's still working, and it is. I'm pleased with it and I feel much safer. I would recommend it to a friend.

I am 93 years old and I have been living by myself since my husband passed away. My children said if I wanted to stay by myself, I needed to have some means to get help if I needed it, so they got me a LifeFone. When I've called to test it, their team has always taken care of things right away and I've always had a good response from them.

My mom has had LifeFone for a couple of years now, just in case she falls or can't get the phone as she's older. It used to be Life Alert, but LifeFone has a better price and the service is identical. However, I had one bad experience recently, where I got a call from someone explaining that their monitor's saying that my mom's alarm was taken off and she didn't respond. I'm in North Carolina and she's in New York, and they called the wrong number for my sisters. Also, there were precious minutes that were lost in the confusion. Then when I called back to complain about it, they told me that the guy had just come out of training, so obviously, he wasn't trained well enough to handle the phone on his own, and that made me very uncomfortable. I felt they were unreliable.

I haven't had any chance to use my LifeFone for an emergency and that's good. I test the device every month. The reps have been very helpful and quick when I have called in. I have ALS, so I can fall quite easily and LifeFone is available to get me help if I needed something.

I wear my LifeFone every day and I've never had to use it. I've tested it a couple of times and they immediately responded. The LifeFone reps were friendly and helpful during the test. My daughter decided to get a medical device for me. She wanted the security of me having that option if I needed someone.

I'm 85 years old and I live alone so I needed a help button. I'm supposed to call LifeFone every month to make sure their device is working, but I have only done it one time and they were very nice. They came right on and said, "Do you need some help?" Also, if I fall, I have a device that I connect around my neck that works in my house. If I go outside and I fall, it works. I have recommended LifeFone and I have several friends who got it.

I had fallen twice. On the first time, I fell myself. Then, on the second, I was knocked down by somebody where I broke my right hip and arm. So my daughter got a LifeFone for me. We’ve been good but all I do is test it once a month to be sure that it’s still connected and working. The people at LifeFone has always been very pleasant and nice, and they answer immediately. If I had to use it, it is there. Everything has been fine.

My husband is gone part of the time. I have mini-strokes and I have had a heart attack and that’s why they got LifeFone so they could get to me really quick. Most of the time, they call as soon as I push the button and they’re there. They’re doing great and everything seems to be fine. Also, it gives me peace of mind.

My daughter and I lived together, and I lost her. My son thought I should have a medical alert service. I wear the LifeFone device around my neck all the time and I'm very careful. Although I haven't used it, I think it's wonderful. I hit it by mistake once, when I picked up the watch and forgot what it was. I got a response immediately and the rep was very nice to me. This is my first medical alert service, and I'm very pleased. I feel very safe with it, and I would recommend it.

I had fallen and broke both wrists then I also had a concussion and was in three different hospitals for almost a month. When I got home, my family stayed around with me for three months and some of them were here around the clock. My granddaughter is an RN so she knew how to handle everything and she decided that I needed a medical alert device so if I’d fallen and wouldn’t be able to call them because I’d be here by myself. She was very pleased interacting with the LifeFone team. It made me feel more confident and wearing it doesn’t bother me at all. I’m very pleased and I’d recommend them.

My daughter got me the LifeFone device and I've had it for over a year now. I carry the little button on me all the time. The trouble is I am so hard at hearing, and at night, when I take my hearing aids out, I can't hear anything. So I didn't like that I got a ring from them at 2:00 in the morning and I could not hear nor understand the person talking. My daughter had to come out to answer it. I hope it never happens again. But other than that, having the LifeFone makes me feel that I don't have to worry about anything happening. I just push the button.

The people at LifeFone were helpful. I had no problems and it’s been good so far. My mother is 89 years old and has trouble hearing and in case she fell or something, at least she would be able to reach somebody. We were in the middle of moving so we switched to LifeFone from another service. Also, I read about how hard it was to cancel the previous medical alert device we had and some people didn’t get their money back. I personally got on the train and took the phone from New Jersey to their headquarters in New York to make sure they got everything back and verify that I gave it to them so that everything is actually cancelled because I’ve read stories where they kept charging after that.

I see the purpose of LifeFone as being my spouse or companion when I don't have a real one. Someone who will "watch my back" as the saying goes. At 81 yo and although I'm healthy as a hog, I could keel over with a stroke at any time, or fall and hurt myself badly while walking the dog. LifeFone should be able to detect those kind of events, but it doesn't fully.

I'm alone but I live right next door to my daughter. Everything is okay and I'm still moving around but I have some issues with my heart. My kids got me a LifeFone medical alert device and it's doing fine. I'd recommend it.

I had broken my hip and I had been in a nursing home and dismissed to come home by myself. My children thought I needed a medical alert device and they checked into it and chose Lifefone. I've had it almost a year. I wear it around my neck and I'm very comfortable with it. The device has been tested and the team at Lifefone responded right away.

My husband passed away and I'm living by myself most of the time. So, I want a little bit of security and got LifeFone through the bank. I wear the device all the time. I slipped a little bit in the bathroom at one time and I called them. They were here right away, and they treated me nice. I’m satisfied with Lifefone, and with their device, I know that I could get help if I needed it right away. I'm 89 years old and I feel better with it. It’s a good thing to have, and I would recommend them. In fact, my daughter also has one.

LifeFone had an ‘away from home’ feature which was one of the things I liked. Once in a while though we forget to take that thing with the device that we're supposed to take when we go away. It's a little hassle remembering to do that. During the few times I’ve had contact with LifeFone team, everybody was very nice, polite and understanding especially during the times I pushed the button by mistake. And their response time in those instances was quick. However, I may have a problem with my main unit. The last time we used the device, the remote gadget worked. But I didn't get any sound from the one on the wall. I only got the connection with the little adaptive thing. Other than that, it's been a good experience with Lifefone and I've recommended it to friends.

My children wanted me to have a medical alert device so I got a LifeFone. I'm grateful for it because I like to walk a lot for exercise because it's easier to get around. Once when I first installed the device I accidentally pushed the wrong button. I got my children and they asked if everything was alright. Being here by myself, I'm satisfied that I have it.

I'm old and needed a medical alert device just in case. My daughter helped me research it and I got LifeFone. I use the one on a holster as it's less troublesome getting in the way and it doesn’t bother me as much. I'd do the test with the machine and the people at LifeFone calls to know if I've got a problem. I'd tell them it's a just a test and they would always ask if anybody else in the house has a problem.

Our daughter wanted to make sure we had access for emergencies since we’re in our 80’s, and LifeFone has been great. I wear the chain around my neck. It’s a convenience and I’m glad it’s there if we do happen to need it.

I'm 85 years old and I'm having dizzy spells. I'm usually alone in the house because my daughter and son-in-law go to work. My daughter purchased the LifeFone medical system for me and it's very good. It's handy if you're old like me and it's a good thing to have in an emergency.

LifeFone's the first one I found that seemed to be in business long enough to do the job and the price was reasonable so I went for it. I like to wear the device around my neck but my wife likes the one around the wrist. We tried to test it once a month. I would press the button and activate the system and it goes through its routine. Then they would call and we'd tell them it's a test.

My daughter gave me a LifeFone as a gift knowing that I live alone and getting a little old. She lives in New Jersey and she’s not very close to visit me as often as she’d like to but she worries I might fall. Having it is a great idea and I’m very pleased. She just renewed it for another year. I check the machine once-in-a-while. The guys at LifeFone told me to do it once a month but I forget sometimes. I just push it and they ask me if anything’s wrong. I’ll say, “No. Just checking the machine.” They say, “That’s fine. Thank you for doing that.” They respond in about a minute and they’ve been very nice. The only thing is I have the device around my neck and I hate that black cord. I wish they would have something like a silver chain. Other than that, it gives me security knowing I have it. The LifeFone is a wonderful idea and if others are able to or if they are in a position where they need it, they should get it.

Sixty years ago, my aunt, who was a widow and lived alone, had a stroke, died, and wasn’t found for several days. It's been in the back of my mind. I live alone and I knew I wanted a LifeFone. I wear it around my neck and don't notice that I have it. I don't wear it in the shower though. I know I could but I just don't feel that intimidated. But I have it right there where I could reach it if I fall. So far, everything has been very positive. I have it checked every month and that is going well. Also, I asked a question once and they told me that they were on a timed basis and referred me to another number. But I totally understand that since it’s an emergency service so they should be free. I have recommended LifeFone.

My daughter-in-law got a LifeFone for me and I call them once a month. They’re professional, friendly and courteous.

I live by myself and the medical alert device bracelet I had for years messed up my wrist permanently. I then decided to get a new one. I ordered from LifeFone over the phone and the person who helped me with my order was very nice, professional and answered any questions that I had. I have the LifeFone for a week now and I put this on my other arm. It has a different material and it doesn't irritate me.

My husband has a muscular dystrophy and we both end up falling so I searched online and went with LifeFone because of their price. It was for him but he never wears it and he's had it for about a year and a half now. He never actually used it but the response time on the test seems like you could dial 911 yourself a lot faster. I'm not impressed with any of these things except if you didn't have your phone with you then it would come in handy because stuff may happen, you hurt yourself then you couldn't get up and get to a phone. The connection is also not very clear on the phone line so if you've fallen in the bathroom or somewhere else, they're not gonna hear you and you're not gonna hear them. But they're just gonna dispatch if something really happened which is good that's why we keep it and we'd recommend it.

We've had LifeFone for a couple of years now but it just sits at home. Nevertheless, we're satisfied with it.

As I grew older, I realized I needed something and it was then when I got a LifeFone. I fell down one time since I got it but I live about a half a mile away from the rescue squad so I just called 911 because they get here quicker than they would. Every once in a while, we call and test it like they tell us to do just to check. They always pick it up when they're supposed to. The thing works fine if it’s in my house. But if I’m out walking in the park and I need help, if I push the button they don’t know where I am. But they've all been fine, nice and very polite.

My aunt is 99-years-old and she's living by herself. She gets around very well but nobody's here. LifeFone was recommended by a man in the neighborhood who had it, so we also got it. We probably don’t test it as often as we should but it’s worked very well for her when she’s needed it. The people at LifeFone call me when my aunt uses her button and they've been very polite and helpful. I used to deliver for a pharmacy at night and a couple of times, about 2:00 in the morning, I've got a call and they're really patient and they wait 'til I get over here.

LifeFone has been helpful. But, I would like to reverse the order of who gets called first. Their people has been very polite and nice. The issue is the person I was talking to couldn't hear me when I needed them. That was too bad. Every time I could hear her talk, I punch my button so she'd know that I heard her. She couldn't hear me talk so I moved the unit upstairs, central hall. On another occasion, it would have been better if I have my friend as a first contact instead of the police and medics because they wanted to break down my door and it really caused damage. If he'd be called first, he could have gotten in the house and let them in.

It was my daughter's idea to get me a LifeFone. I’ve never had to use it yet but I imagine that it will do the job if I ever have an emergency. It’s not an inconvenience and it’s been set up just in case I have a problem.

I’m a fall risk but I’m very active and what I liked was you could take LifeFone with you anywhere. That was the main thing that sold me on it. I also researched all the top companies and I felt like they were the best fit for me. I’ve had all false alarms but they’re always very prompt to answer and very professional. They treat me extremely well. I also had a low battery and I didn’t know it. They sent me a new alert necklace with a battery that wasn’t low. They do things like that without you even knowing there’s an issue. LifeFone is something that I didn’t want to get, but now I’m very satisfied and it’s great for me. It’s been a very positive experience dealing with them.

I had just gotten out of the hospital with a stroke. And so, I've been relying on the system that we have because I never know when I might need help again. That prompted me to purchase a LifeFone. Now, I feel more comfortable having the LifeFone because if something should happen while I am not at home, then I know that I can be helped wherever I may be. Moreover, I like that LifeFone calls my daughters to let them know that I am having a problem.

I have balance issues, congestive heart failure, seizures because of lupus, liver failure, and kidney disease so I decided to get a LifeFone. Thankfully I haven't had any serious attacks. I enjoy having a peace of mind knowing that somebody's there if I do have an attack. However, it takes so long to get somebody connected. It keeps going through the cycle and I'm thinking if anything serious did happen, it would take forever to get somebody over here.

LifeFone was my son's idea. He thought I’d fall and no one can help me so we bought one. However, I don’t really think I need it. It’s just there and it’s heavy to hang around my neck. Sometimes, when I turn over in bed it goes on and there were two times that I didn’t know it went on. They had to call me and I couldn’t hear the phone because I was in the shower. So, the squad came to see what was wrong. I didn’t need them then but they came and they were very, very nice. So far, I’m satisfied with the way they have answered me when I don’t even know it’s been pressed. They’re good and it’s nice for people that need it. Overall, it’s worth a try. I just wish I didn’t have to wear it.

It took a little longer than I thought for LifeFone to answer, but other than that it has been good. We've only had to use it once. At times when I bumped the device by mistake, the people at LifeFone were very good at it. They say that it's okay and then clear it. One thing I like is the portable, as well as the in-home for the same price. I have had a few different devices before and the first one was ADT. I can't remember the others. I think they were a little higher priced. We're all to save a buck because we can't afford to spend it. So, I finally wound up with LifeFone and so far, I'm satisfied and happy with it.

The people at LifeFone are all good. They’re very courteous and I'd recommend it to others. LifeFone is a reliable item but it goes off once in a while without any reason. It’s there as a safeguard. It’s supposed to be a life-saving device. All I do is just to try to keep from losing it and it would be fine. I have three pieces of equipment. I have the cradle, the mobile device, and I have the pendant around my neck. All three of them seem to work just fine. The pendant seems to send a signal every now and then without a good reason. I don’t know what the different buttons mean. If it goes off and I know that all I’ve done is touched it, then I don’t know how to reset it.

I was working in the yard and I stepped up on my porch, which was about three or four inches. All of a sudden I went backwards and hit my head on the rocks. My wrist flaked off in little pieces and a cast couldn't be put until it healed into one bone. My daughter and son were worried and they insisted that I get a LifeFone, so I did. It gives me a little sturdier feeling. It reassures me and calms my thinking to know that there is something that I can do to help not to fall again. I would recommend it to someone that needed it if I saw that it was a necessary thing.

My son decided I should have a medical alert device because of my age, so he purchased a LifeFone for me. I'm very satisfied with what I have and it gives me peace of mind.

My experience with LifeFone has been good. My daughter did it for me. She thought I should have one because I was alone. I have not needed to use it though. But, it's a good thing that I have it. All in all, I'm satisfied with it.

My mother has dementia, heart trouble and a handful of other medical problems, and she’s home alone sometimes, so I wanted to make sure she had access to some help. Reading the descriptions and some of the reviews on it, I chose LifeFone for her. She had another one temporarily, GuardMe, but was not happy with it. So, we turned that one in and went with LifeFone. So far, our experience has been good.

I’m 95 years old and I’m alone. Things are harder to do around the house. My niece wanted me to have a LifeFone so I got one. I only ever used it once and it was just that the lights were out and there was nobody around to tell me what was going on. LifeFone was able to help me.

I had a heart failure and I live alone. We thought Lifefone would be a good thing. My daughter-in-law did research and out of the ones that she and my son looked into, this one was the best. I've only had some false alarms, so far. I have a walker and if I don't have it tucked inside my shirt, it hits the walker and sets it off. They seem to respond promptly which is good and they're very gracious about it. I apologized. Also, since I'm close to it, if I can get it on time, I can hit the clear button and then no one comes on. Other than that, it’s fine. I feel safe and I feel like it’s an extra protection. It’s a good idea and kinda like having another person there.

I live alone so I decided to get a LifeFone and so far, I’ve only used it once. I tested it before and they were quick to respond. It's handy to have and I wear it around my neck 24/7. I’d recommend them.

My son got me a LifeFone a couple of months ago and I am happy with it. They said I had to call in once a month to report that everything is working. I'll be 87 but I'm still in a great shape. I'm not going to call in unless something happens. I'm fine with it. I hate wearing the band because I have a lot of jewelry and I never wear it unless I go out. When I get home, the first thing I do is put it away. It bothers me to have to wear it. I don't like anything around my neck either. I just don't wear watches or anything around the house.

I love LifeFone. My husband passed away and I just think it is a good idea for me to have a medical alert system. I have never had a chance to use it. I've just put it on to make sure it's working. They’re very prompt whenever I ever push the button.

I'm in a wooded area far from any hospital so my wife made the decision to get a medical alert device because I needed it. I'm happy with LifeFone's service. I tested it not too long ago and they responded quickly.

I'm close to 90 years old and one time, I fell and I did not have LifeFone so my sons got it for me. I have used LifeFone here a while back. I fell and passed out in the shower but I had it in there with me. I'm afraid to take it in the water so I just lay it on the commode. When I woke up, I was lying on the floor bleeding so I called and they got somebody there right away.

My daughter purchased my LifeFone medical alert device for me. I've had a couple of times when I dropped it, and these were the only times that I've ever talked to the representatives at LifeFone. I havent talked to them or heard from them in a long time.

I wasn't really interested in LifeFone but my children chose it for me because of the features on it. I have accidentally hit it about 10 times when I first got it and I don't understand why it went off when I didn't touch it. But there was one occasion that even when I tried to tell them over the phone that it was just a test, they still came to the house when it wasn't necessary. I had four people knocking on my door and I thought the house was on fire. Also, they didn't know how to open the lockbox. When I first got it, I couldn't open it either because I was opening it from around the handle and that's not so. It has to be opened by pulling down the black cover. I reported it when that happened and I told the people that I called that they didn't know how to get into the lockbox.

My son spent a Saturday on the internet looking at all of them and the best turned out to be LifeFone, so he got it for me. He meant well and did all these when I was in the hospital. I wish he waited until I got home but he probably figured that I would say no and I appreciate that. I wear it but I have not had to use it. I have three sons and I get scolded by one of them sometimes. In fact, he went to the point of making a note in large print and put it by the back door, "Mom, if you're going out take the other part with you in your pocket or your purse and don't leave that at home. Take it with you."

I live by myself. I have had open-heart surgery, have a cow valve that I had put in about 12 years ago and I’ve had two pacemakers. I’ll be 90 years old on the 7th of May and my granddaughter, who is a nurse practitioner, felt that it would be good for me to have a medical alert device for my own safety. I wear it all the time around my wrist. I’ve heard of people who take them off when they take a shower but I don’t take mine off just in case I slipped in the shower and needed it. I'm so glad that I have LifeFone and that I could call in to get the ambulance out to my house. They're quick to respond, friendly and courteous.

I have a caretaker at the Masonic Lodge Association and she was quite acid about me having a LifeFone in case I fell because when I get down, I can't get up. But, I woke up once and it was strangling me or was coming out of my sleeves. God knows where I took it off. One time it flew across the room in my sleep. Also, advertising now isn't all that good. When I am out of town, it still works but here you're limited to just a very small area and it's not all worth a damn for that because I go all over. A couple of days ago, I had the test light of my LifeFone blinking on and off and I pressed it and it took a good minute and a half before anybody answered. They kept saying they're checking but a hell of a lot can happen in a minute and a half when you're sick or in an emergency. I told them that then I hung up on them.

My brother brought the LifeFone device for my mother who is alone a lot and she was getting up in age. It absolutely provides peace of mind for us though my mother haven't had to use it yet.

I fell down in the bathtub, got a concussion and I ended up getting taken to the hospital. My kids noticed that when we went out for my birthday dinner I was doing funny things with my hands and kind of spaced out. So they took me to the hospital and I was there for about a week-and-a-half. And then my two sons decided to go ahead and pay for a LifeFone together. And so I have to wear it all the time. It's convenient to have that around my neck. I've accidentally pushed the button and they came on and wanted to know what my name was and so on. And they were very good about it. I would recommend LifeFone to anyone that has a falling problem.

My daughter-in-law spotted LifeFone and she told me about it. One of the kids accidentally pushed the button and LifeFone were prompt at responding. I’m satisfied.

LifeFone has been working when necessary. Once in a while, it seems like it does its test on me, but that’s all right. But so far, thank God, I have not fallen. I accidentally hit it a couple of times and LifeFone were definitely very prompt. Overall, it’s been fine.

My daughter got a LifeFone device for me because I have the thing of falling a little bit. I am having trouble with it right now, though. For one, I had a test come on for it. So, I hit the test button, and then now, my test light don’t come on at all. Also, sometimes when I’m sitting down on the couch and I have my necklace on, it’ll go off for no reason. Perhaps if it gets too close to my pacemaker because there’s nothing wrong. And then I have to hit the button real quick so they wouldn’t call me.

My son purchased LifeFone for me as a Christmas present. I was falling and he was concerned. I wear it everyday but haven't used it since Christmas. The LifeFone team was very courteous when we set it up. It's a good thing knowing it's available. It's comfortable to wear, too. And I have one in the shower and one on me as well. I'm very satisfied with my LifeFone experience.

LifeFone worked when it had to. It was very prompt, everything was fine with it and it's nice and loud. I felt silly a few times and I banged it up against the counter, but LifeFone was very nice about it. My mother-in-law has one too but unfortunately she decided one day to take it off to get washed even though it's waterproof. She fell and she laid there for hours, naked, and it was a big mess. She couldn't get to the phone and it was a terrible thing. Because of that, I don't take it off even when I go out. I learned her lesson. If I have to take it off, I give it to my son and he holds it until I'm ready to put it back on. Everything was perfect the way it has worked. I'm very grateful that they made me get it.

My husband passed away and I'm by myself. I'm 81 and in good health but I have a very close friend nearby who's also in good health and she went out in her garage on a Thursday night and fell down, broke her hip, and laid there 'til Saturday morning. She went to the hospital, went to nursing home, got an infection, and had to go back. It was a nightmare. That's the biggest issue at this age, so I decided that I would try to have a medical alert. My son is an attorney and a great researcher. He wanted me to have one so he researched all of them online and came up with LifeFone. He said that it looks like the best one out there since so many of them have the charger longer than having it off.

My daughter lives out of town and she was afraid I was going to fall or something was going to happen and I wouldn’t have any help. So, I had to allow her to get me a LifeFone to ease her mind. She and my son-in-law got the device for me. They showed up with it and set it up and put the bracelet on me. Sometimes during the night I wake up and it’s up on my arm and it’s a little bit tight, but that’s to be expected. I've gotten adjusted to it. I was told I could either have a necklace or a bracelet and I chose the bracelet. I thought I could deal with it better. Overall, my LifeFone eases my mind and gives me some security knowing that I have it. I’d recommend it to a friend.

One thing that was wrong with me was that I wouldn't respond when I fall. I don't know why but I just didn't the day I was hurt when I had the other medical alert device. Also, it didn't go off when I fell. Then I would think that I could get up myself but I couldn't. My kids have had it on for that so my son got a hold of LifeFone and this is working very good. We like it. My LifeFone went off once when I fell and they were very quick to respond. I didn’t want to answer that I had fallen and that’s too bad that I was like that. This is why LifeFone is so great. This device will do it automatically for me. I would recommend them.

I'm 89 years and because I'm in the fourth stage of kidney failure that makes me weak. I was talking to my neighbor one time when all of a sudden, I fainted right into her arms. She and her husband carried me to the steps and then called the ambulance. My daughter-in-law made me get a LifeFone and I didn't want to do anything like that. But her mother has one and she keeps reminding me that LifeFone has saved her mother's life twice. I've had it for three and a half months and I have it on as a bracelet. It's comfortable on my wrist and it's like wearing a watch. It's comforting having it just in case.

My daughter got LifeFone for me. I’m always home so I haven’t used it. But I’m glad I have it.

A protégé's working with me and he was aware of the service that LifeFone gave and he spoke well of them. They've been very pleasurable when they notified me when the alarm went off and that I accidentally triggered the alarm. They've been really okay and they responded really nicely. They have a very good service.

I had an amputation and I needed a safeguard in case I fall so I got a LifeFone device. I test it each month and their people respond very quickly and they're professional. Everything seemed easy with the device.

I’m an elderly and needed something to help protect me. I have fallen many times and had to call for assistance. And a couple of times, there was no one around and I had to find a way to get myself off the ground. I wanted to be sure that if I fell again outside and can’t get up, I would have someone to call rather than lie there like a rag. I heard that LifeFone was pretty good so I called them. They've been fine and I haven’t had any problems with them. When my great-grandson pushed the button by mistake, the team at LifeFone was very nice. I feel very comfortable with them.

I'm an old man and I have congestive heart failure so I carry a LifeFone with me in my pocket just in case. I'm more confident with it and I recommended it to my friend.

I had dizzy spells and was falling a lot. My daughter found LifeFone and looked into it for me. I wear the device around my neck and it gives me peace of mind. However, the rope is black and it shows through all my clothes, and I would like to have one with a white or clear rope. Every once in a while my device goes off when I hit the button accidentally. It goes, "Emergency! Emergency! Emergency! Emergency!" Nobody answers it, and then I punch the clear button to clear it. Other than these, so far, I've been satisfied with it.

As time goes on and I get older, I get more feeble. LifeFone is a precautionary thing that we decided to go ahead and have. I like the idea that in case anything happens, I have it and can be able to get a hold of someone as long as I don’t lose my senses or knock myself out and can push my button. My daughter set up the device. She was well pleased with the interaction with the guy at LifeFone because that’s how she knew all about the device. I worked with it when we first hooked it up and it worked fine. It makes me feel safer and I would recommend it.

I'm alone at home and I fell because of too much calcium so I got a LifeFone last December. My daughter looked for a life alert device when I was in the hospital for rehab because they recommended to get me one. My daughter said LifeFone had the best deal or program. I wear the necklace all the time and thank God I haven't had to use it. I have tested it once a month and I didn't have to wait too long, but they don't come on right away. When I heard the beep all I said was "Testing". My daughter told me to wait until I heard a voice. I didn't know it was an actual person.

My kids took care of everything with getting a LifeFone because I fell down a couple of times. I always hate the kids to be taking care of me like that and giving me stuff. I told them it's just another expense they're taking on but I'll be 92 in April and I've been keeping awful busy. Even I wasn't expecting to get this old but LifeFone gives the feeling of security and that I'm taken care of. I've hit the button accidentally and I've been apologizing when I do because it goes off and LifeFone calls me. But they were very nice about it.

Many of us in the area I live in have had to have a button for protection because we're alone. I fell one time in the shower and my kids became very concerned that I was alone. They went online and found the LifeFone. We also got the fall one so I have the two phones, but I do not use that one because it seemed to be too sensitive in what I was doing and I figured I could get my help on a single button. With the help button, I'm a little more assured that I have help, however, it goes immediately to my daughter whether we've got a power outage or not so she immediately knows. When I spoke to who's in there, they're very polite and very business-like so they were right on the ball.

I got a LifeFone because I fell and broke both arms. They've called when I made a mistake with putting my phone down fast and I've been more cautious now. My husband talked to them and they thought that I've fallen but everything was fine. They were very nice when they called and I have not had any problems at all with them. Also, I feel a little more secure and that's what it's all about. I would recommend them to a friend.

My daughter and son got my LifeFone for me and it was very good when I had to use it. Their staff is also very good. I wear it around my wrist and it's been comfortable so far. I recommend it to anybody.

I've had LifeFone for a long time now. My wife and I have gotten pretty old, and our children thought we ought to have something like it. I haven't had any emergencies, but when I've tested it, the LifeFone reps were friendly and knowledgeable.

The people at LifeFone have all been kind and very considerate when I've called in every month to get the phone checked. I had a difficult time because sometimes I can't hear the person who's talking to me but they worked with me which I appreciate. The phone works. I also have the tracker in my pocket even though I am at the house not needing to be tracked. I feel quite comfortable with the system that I have.

I'm by myself now, and my husband passed away. I also walk with a walker. I have three boys and they feel more comfortable if I have some help in case I should fall. LifeFone gives them peace of mind. Overall, I would recommend LifeFone. Every time they've talked to me, I don’t know what set the device off but they were quick to call.

My sister who was a widow and living alone has medical alert device, and that’s where I got the idea. And then, my husband passed away at the end of October, so I talked it over with my son and he was the one who chose LifeFone. I haven’t had to use it, but it’s working fine. I called once at the end of the month to make sure that it was working and the people at LifeFone were really great. I would like to try to go into my bedroom and see if I can close the door and use it at night because it’s so far away. I’d test at the end of the month to check whether it’ll work if I closed the door.

My children were afraid I would fall so I got a LifeFone. I got the one that hangs around my neck and it's not particularly comfortable because it gets in the way. But it's been fine and it's easy to use. I feel better having it and I feel like somebody would come and get me. I would recommend them.

I fell and ended up on the floor for most of the evening. My kids decided I should get something, so if it happens again, somebody would know. I then decided to get a LifeFone. The people at LifeFone were very pleasant on the phone. I paid and then they sent me the product. Then we set my device up. They call us if the meter moves up or down too fast. It rings and they call me and I can tell them if I’m not having a problem. If they call me and I don’t answer, they send a buzz and they have three of my neighbors that have keys to our house to come and get me. I’d recommend LifeFone to somebody.

My husband is 95 years old and I'm 90, so we needed LifeFone's medical alert service because we live together but not with anybody. I fell and broke my hips, and we used our alert device to get the people at LifeFone out here, and they were here immediately. We've had it for a very long time, and that's the only time that we've used it. They were very prompt, thorough, and good, and we're very happy with our experience with them. We've already told several people about LifeFone and how pleased we are with them. Two people came to see us, and one of them said that he was worried about living alone. We told him about our LifeFone medical alert device and showed it to him, and I told him how much it costs. So, I imagine he'll be getting one for himself, too.

I got injured at work, and broke my femur bone on my leg. I'm still using a walker and canes, and it's been a long recovery. I'm on workers’ comp right now. I feel really vulnerable if I would fall down again because I live alone. My mother suggested that I get a LifeFone and workers’ comp said they would pay for it. As far as I had contact with their team, it's been great. They have been helpful. It was fairly easy to set up. The manual was very easy to understand, and doing the tests was just fine. So far, it's been a good system. But the remote unit that's set up in my bedroom has a yellow light that blinks all night long, and it drives me crazy. So finally, I turned it upside down on the nightstand. It's very annoying.

I wear my LifeFone around my neck all the time. I've only used it once and they were here very shortly after. They chase on pretty quickly and the people are friendly.

My daughter ordered the whole thing although years ago, I got one for my husband when he was still alive and that’s how I knew about LifeFone. It is a very good product. I’m happy to have the GPS and that was an extra bonus I got at the time I ordered it. It's something that I can take with me, which makes a lot of sense that I could get help when I'm not at home. I haven’t had an emergency yet but when they were setting it up in the house for me and my daughter and son-in-law, I tested it at that point and I felt so bad because it kept alerting the people. But we had to know that it was done right so it’s all part of it. I’ve been very pleased with it and I have referred it to other friends in the past.

I'm concerned about my husband falling, so we decided to get a LifeFone. He’s fallen a couple of times and they came on pretty quickly. We talked at first through the sound system to see if everyone’s okay and then someone is sent out right away. The device is worn around the neck, and it's perfectly comfortable. Our experience interacting with the people at LifeFone has been wonderful.

My LifeFone works 'cause when I pushed it once and it said "Emergency" then I disconnected it. I feel safer with it.

I wear the LifeFone device around my neck. It’s a little bit bulky and sometimes irritating but it’s okay. I only had to push the button just to report and test them out. It's about three or four times then the lady came on and she was friendly.

Once a month, I try to call LifeFone to make sure everything's okay with my husband's device. We tested it out and it was fine. I feel better that he has the alert just in case I need to leave for shopping or doctor's appointment. So I feel good that I leave him all alone because he knows to push that button if anything happens. I feel secure that my husband has LifeFone and I think he does, too. I would recommend it.

I wear my LifeFone around my neck all the time and it is comfortable. I also call in once a month to make sure the device works and it's been fine. I'm not sure how they bill me whether it's for three months but when the bill comes, I'll pay it.

A couple of times I accidentally pushed my LifeFone button. They were quick. They answered the phone, and asked what they can do, and if there was any problem. I told them what the problem was and they were pleasant. They understood that I accidentally pushed it.

I didn't want to have a medical alert device but my son-in-law ordered the LifeFone after I fell. It's sitting on the table by my bed and I thank heavens I haven't used it yet.

I fell in my living room before and it took me a lot to get up and my daughter thought it’s a good idea for me to have something that I can connect with someone. And I was happy when she got LifeFone for me. I have it close to me and I feel very safe. Also, people at LifeFone are precious and I feel very relaxed and calm when I’m talking with them. They're doing great.

Getting a LifeFone was insisted on by the workmen’s compensation that’s been taking care of me for a few months since an accident. When I came home from rehab, they insisted that I have it in the house. I like the idea of it. It's great for a person who lives alone to be able to let people know if something happened. And for some reason, in the practice of it, I find myself backing away from it. Somehow it's stressful that it could go off at any minute without me wanting it to. That was the problem I was having. It went off four times and I panicked because I haven't learned all the ways of operating it. I talked to somebody at LifeFone over the device and they took care of everything. I managed to keep any ambulance from arriving. And then I finally took the thing off my neck and left it on the table. I have to meditate on this more, but it's not going to stay here. It leaves with the caseworker for the workmen’s comp.

We decided to buy a LifeFone because if I would fall in the house, Leon wouldn't hear me if I yelled for help because he cannot hear. Also, if I'm outside, he wouldn't know unless he see me falling. With him falling, I'm not there in the room, so if I push a button, it's quicker. He is the one with the button on his walker with the necklace and I have the bracelet on. The only thing about the bracelet strap is if I get a little water there, my arm gets red. I switched it from one arm to the other but it's very irritating. Also, if I'm out of the area and I have the bracelet on, it wouldn't do me any good because I'm too far away from the main.

I used LifeFone once and it took a half hour before I got an ambulance. I was complaining about it and when they arrived, they had three police officers from the 5th Precinct. I knew them and we were all talking. What happened was the ambulance was on call up on a North Shore somewhere and now we're number four in the list.

I have a physical disability so I looked into getting a medical alert service and got LifeFone. I had to use it once and their customer service was fine. Everything worked according to plan. Hopefully, I don't have to use it again, but I still have a physical disability, so it's necessary. I absolutely have more peace of mind knowing I have LifeFone.

We tried LifeFone off at first to see how it was and to see how it sounded. But the other day, my cat jumped up on the box and hit the button. It's very exciting at first because we were wondering what happened but it's the emergency so I got them. I said sorry and I'm glad to hear that they weren't upset. I would recommend LifeFone. I wear it every day and I feel safer and so much secure.

When we tested the device, we pressed it then they called, and we said that we have just gotten it and we're testing it. Everything was fine. It's operating like it's supposed to so if we need it for real, it'll work.

Over a year ago in my kitchen, I broke my shoulder and hip on the right side. My bones are brittle and easy to break at my age. This is the first fall that I had that really scared me. Lucky my neighbor in the back’s a nurse and she has my key because she was looking after me before. My sister called her to check on me because I'm not answering the phone. I couldn't answer the phone because I couldn't move. So, my neighbor came up and called the paramedics. They took me to the hospital, I had surgery on my hip and then they took me to the nursing home for four weeks in Aliquippa.

I have Parkinson's and having LifeFone gives me a little more confidence when I go out. However, it takes some adjusting to using it and remembering to put it on. So far, the only time I've had to interact with them was when I dropped the GPS unit while I was putting it on. They called us and we talked to an operator to let them know what happened and that it was an accident. It was a positive interaction.

My daughter and I were going on vacation and my mom was going to be home alone so we needed something for a couple of months. I purchased LifeFone and it was delivered. Every contact I had with them has been fine but she never used the device and that’s why we’re sending it back.

I moved out of my home and I rented a new apartment. There are eight other apartments in the building and the people there go to work so during the day, I’m the only one in the building. My kids told me to get a LifeFone since I'm alone during the day, and if I fall, there's nobody I can call. First, I got the necklace but it hangs so low that I've hit it by mistake so I got the bracelet which I wear all the time, except when I take a shower. I’m happy with my LifeFone device. I’m content and I know if I need it, it’s there. I’ve called once a month to tell them that everything is okay.

I made a call last December 24th and it took LifeFone over half-an-hour to get to where I was at and they finally got me to the hospital. That's a rather long time when they say “immediately” and not a good service especially when I’m paying for immediate transportation. If I was dying from something they wouldn’t have to even come. I like the price of LifeFone but the price isn’t any good if they’re not going to be any good and I'm wondering if the price is worth it. They could have had trouble finding the place but that’s not really an excuse because they do have maps.

My son in Colorado sent me LifeFone's medical alert device and it's been okay so far. I leave it on every night and I wear it around my neck when I take showers but people would tell me to get a new one because it doesn't work if it's been getting wet and I don't believe it. One time, it went off and I got “Emergency, emergency, emergency” but it's not an emergency. My son was worried about the device not working when something happens so he told me to check it but I don’t dare because I’m afraid I’ll have all the kinds of people here.

I’m 64 and am all alone in the middle of nowhere. I have 40 acres of land out in the middle of the woods here and I feed deer every night. Last night there were 19 deer I fed, about six by hand and I got bumped around out there. I work with electricity too and both of those could be dangerous. I’m always concerned with my safety like if I slip and fall outside and I would freeze to death. My sister suggested LifeFone and I did a little research online. It had a few things and I liked the package that my phone had so I ordered it. The reps helped me set it up and every month I call in to make sure that everything’s working good. It’s been very good.

My husband had a mini-stroke. I'm with him most of the time but his neurologist told him to get an alert system where he can get an emergency response, just in case. So even if he has a stroke, he'd have some coverage. If one part of his body can't function then he can still send an alert. So we shopped around, went online, read reviews for different devices and found that everything was comparable though there were some differences and with LifeFone, it was the number of years they have been in service and also the reviews. That's how we ended up with them.

I had fallen over a couple of times, and hurt my legs. I had to go to the hospital to get them fixed up. I got a myself a LifeFone and their reps have been great. Thank goodness I haven't had the reason to use it yet but so far I'm very satisfied with them.

I'm older and my daughter who lives in Florida worries about me if I should fall so I got a LifeFone. My son contacted their reps to see if it was hooked up, and it's okay. My daughter feels much better now and it makes me feel good too that I have something I can call and talk to someone if something happens. So far, I'm satisfied with it.

My mother passed out and there are times that she's alone, so we wanted her to have something with her at all times. My sister-in-law got the LifeFone medical alert service for her. The only thing is, although she has the bracelet and the necklace for putting on the alert device, she doesn't like wearing the necklace because it's too bulky. Also, she's 88 years old and the bracelet tends to make her arm sore. When I'm here I tell her, "You have to wear it. When I'm here you can take it off." I don't know if there's another way that they could make it. Putting the device in a pocket of the clothes that she's wearing probably wouldn't work, too. It would end up in the washing machine.

I got into a major accident and I broke a lot of bones on my left side. I also broke my ankle, knee and both the bones in my arms. As I got back home, I thought LifeFone might be something that I would have to use in case of an emergency, so I got one and it's been excellent from the start. I did not try testing it regularly every month so I received a call and they asked me to test it out and I did. It took less than a minute and we got it done with. It was an awesome experience. I'm not sure if they have a lock box facility but I'd love it if they could offer something like that because that will make complete sense rather than having them break down the door. Overall I'll definitely recommend them.

My mom had a lot of falls so she needed a medical alert device and so far, everything's been fine with LifeFone. If I'm out of the house and she's here by herself, it's a good emergency contact for her or if we're here and there's an emergency, it's a good thing to have. We've had a couple of false alerts and they were very quick and efficient in responding.

All my family is out of town and I previously lived in a very nice, independent living place but it still got episodes where people would be found hours or days later, dead or alive. If they had had a medical alert, some of them might have lived longer. I thought, “Well, I don’t think anybody would want that experience, me or my family.” So I decided to acquire a medical alert device. I did an extensive research. LifeFone was less expensive, which is a big factor, as well as seemingly having the best record of success. The one time that I ever needed them, it was on the spot. It made the best out of an unpleasant situation. Everybody was very pleasant and everything was perfect. I’m very pleased with it. It makes me feel safer.

We had trouble getting LifeFone set up but it seems to be doing fine now. My daughter and I talked about getting a medical alert device and she really went ahead and got it. Sometimes, the string bothers me around my neck but I usually tuck it in my bra and that carries it. And when I press the button and I'm not supposed to, their very courteous people come on right away.

A friend of mine got LifeFone for me. She felt I needed it because I fall a lot. When my son put it in for me, he tested the device and their people responded right away. The monthly rate is very fair but I feel it was too expensive in the beginning. It’s $40 and other people I know have the same system and feel the same way. They oversell it, too.

I lost my husband so I'm on my own and got myself a LifeFone. I'm very satisfied with them, so far and my interaction with their people has been fine. LifeFone makes me feel safer in case I run into problem.

My friend got a LifeFone for her mother-in-law. They did a good job with her and my friend was really impressed with it. She told me about it so I tried it. I'm going to be 77 in a few days but I'm extremely active. I travel a lot, do Yoga, Tai Chi, and I walk a lot. I'm not the typical I fall and then I can't get up routine, but I do live alone and I am elderly. I am also going to PT to learn to get my balance better.

I've been using my LifeFone for a year. I have the bracelet, and I hit it once by mistake and LifeFone's response time was very fast.

I'm concerned about not having someone available in an emergency. I got LifeFone which was easy to set up and everybody was helpful. LifeFone gives me a peace of mind.

I slipped and I had a fall before so when my daughters saw an advertisement on TV about LifeFone, we decided to get one. I'm supposed to call once a month. I tell them it's not an emergency, and they said I could do that once a month. But I don't think I have done it this month yet. But I've done it twice since I've had it.

I live alone and one day I fell and laid there for about two hours before I could get up, so my son and daughter went ahead and got the LifeFone for me. Right after the first year, I checked it to make sure it's working. It rang quite a few times when I pressed the one that I wear around my neck. But then when I brought the other one in and pushed it, they answered on that one. I keep the GPS which I take with me when I go some place. I feel safer having all of these. I would recommend LifeFone.

We got a medical alert device due to my wife's medical condition. Accidentally, it went off a few times, and the response was very quick and they made sure everything was ok. I have recommended LifeFone.

I always wear my LifeFone at home. It just took me a while to get used to it. I thought I had to carry it everywhere and my sister said, "No. Take your phone if you're going out with me. We can call if anything happens." I went out the other day and had my LifeFone in my pocket book and it kept going off. When I realized that I was with my sister, I had to call them. The response time was a little delayed. I don't like that it takes them so long to answer. But when I do need them, they're very good. I saw somebody climb in my window. It threw me out of bed, I was like "What the hell?" So they're quick. I would recommend them to anyone.

I have colon cancer and I'm undergoing chemo. I also went in a coma for a week and tore my ACL and couldn't walk. My daughter didn't want me without a medical alert device so she got a LifeFone for me. I've used it once and it's fine. I would recommend it.

My husband died and my children are far away so I needed a medical alert device. They said I should have it and I thought I better do it. I'm completely satisfied with LifeFone and I think it's a wonderful thing. I can't say enough nice things about it. I once month call to make sure everything is working right and the ladies who respond to me are very nice.

The people at LifeFone has been always friendly and helpful. But one of the things which I find a bit on the annoying side is the difficulty with which one can achieve stability with the cord. It’s uncomfortable because of the manner in which the cords are put together. It’s a fairly long and unstable platform and rather than being contently at the rear of the neck, it’s all over the place. LifeFone once had a feature which functioned. It was a cord with a magnetic capability of quickly putting together the two ends of the cord around one’s neck. That was ideal.

I’m an old lady living alone and LifeFone was my Christmas present last year from my children. I wear it every day and carry it always around with me and I've had no bad emergencies. However, they should offer an option for silver or gold fine chain so that people will think maybe I had a crucifix hanging inside my shirt rather than the black thing around the neck because the cord shows so much. For sure, women don’t like black hanging around their necks and for me, it shows on a lot of things I wear although having it around the neck is better than pinning it or carrying it someway since I could lose it. I'd recommend them and in fact, all my friends know that I have LifeFone so that’s a form of advertising.

My husband passed away and I decided to live alone in my home. I didn’t want to leave my home but as long as I agreed to have LifeFone, it made things a little easier for everyone. I didn’t even search out any other system because my niece got this for her mother and they were pleased with it. I believe in it and so far it’s working very well for me. I’ve had a lot of false alarms but I haven’t really used it since I've not had any emergencies.

I never had accidents to push the button to go off, but I've been real pleased with LifeFone. My daughter purchased it because I’m losing my eyesight and I live alone. She saw I needed to have it if I’ve fallen in the bathroom, or in the house. And so far, I would recommend LifeFone to anybody.

A friend of mine got a LifeFone for me. Though I never had to really use it, I never had a problem with it. It's pretty easy. I push a button and it calls up the company. The reps have also been friendly.

My daughter thought that it's best for me to get LifeFone because I fell one-time. I find the device okay and I wear it every day and night. I never take it off and I leave it on. I rely on it and I'm hoping that I don't fall again so that I don't have to use it.

I'm 87 and once in a while I still got problems that I fall so my kids were kind of after me to get a life alert. So when my son asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I told him I wanted the smart alert and he gave me LifeFone, which came handy. I'm glad I have it because if something does happen, I could push the button. I'm well satisfied with it and I can't complain about the people who work at LifeFone. When the alert went off they asked if they could help me or I could get somebody. However one time, I was a little disappointed because they had the ambulance and so many people come over here. They made me sit on a chair and they questioned me like I was on a court trial. All LifeFone had to do was call my neighbors across the street because I've got them on there that if something happens, they’d be the ones to come over and if they feel that I need an ambulance it's up to them to call.

I had back surgery and it went haywire. I was going with a walker then two canes outside. And that time I did fall and it broke my back. I did something to the L1 so I'm on a walker all the time now or in a wheelchair if I go anywhere. So I had to have the LifeFone or else I couldn't be home by myself. And I know it’s there if I need it. It gives my husband more peace of mind. He feels like he can go out and do things outdoors or if he has to go to town. Also, I test the device every month and the LifeFone team was always very nice.

I deal with a headache that’s at a 4 seven days a week. I was hospitalized twice for really bad headaches and I was thought to have cellulitis of my temples and I lost sight in my left eye completely. My balance was totally off too so I walked into walls and chairs. The skin that got hit would all be broken and I'd be bleeding. My husband is a truck driver and he was afraid to leave me home by myself for fear that I could fall and nobody would know until he got home. He leaves at 7 o’clock in the morning and doesn’t get home until 9 o’clock at night. That was his main purpose for getting the LifeFone. The people at LifeFone have been most helpful when we called or when my beeper went off accidentally like when I hit it on the sink. I’d recommend LifeFone to somebody who is in a similar situation.

I live alone and I got osteoporosis so my bones are giving out and then I fall so I used LifeFone. I have a mobile piece and the other one is in my kitchen. However, it can’t hear me when it’s in the kitchen and that's the problem. I’ve told them several times that I can’t take the device elsewhere since I have no place to put it. I tried moving it in the bathroom but there’s not enough room for it so that didn’t work for me. I also tried it in my bedroom one time but then I don’t want to have to bring it back into my living room or kitchen in the daytime. It's a big device. I can pick it up with one hand but then I’ve got to get the charger and the outlet is another problem. I test and reboot it every month but then they scare me whenever I do that as they’d call an ambulance. I asked for a new one but the problem is it’s still in a place where they can’t hear me and I can barely hear them.

I'm 87 years old, living alone and I have had a fall. It's nice having the LifeFone device especially if I'm out walking my dog and I should fall. However, I don't like the idea of me having to wear the wristband and carrying the other little portable device. But it's a very good system and I feel confident that if I did have an emergency, somebody would come to me like Johnny on the spot. Also, the people at LifeFone have been very congenial. But it was strange one time when I received in the middle of the night a call from them, asking me if I was okay when everything seems fine at my place and I wasn't wearing any of my alert device.

I wear my LifeFone device constantly even when I sleep and when I go into the shower. It's part of my jewelry. I tested it once a few weeks ago and it worked perfectly. And the LifeFone team instantly responded. The woman that answered my call was very polite. I told her why I pushed the button and she said fine and thanked me for calling. It was a positive interaction with them. I appreciate knowing they're there if I needed help. The device works well and I can't imagine other brands that are better than this one. So I'm satisfied. The device makes me feel more secure which is good especially that I live alone, I'm in my 80’s and no one knows what can happen.

My daughter insists that I take LifeFone or she'd get mad at me. I'm very happy with them. I pressed my device when I was opening a can. They came on and I just told them it was a false alarm. The mistakes I made were handled very well, and their people were very nice.

My husband died and I'm living alone, so last Christmas my children decided to get me a Lifefone. Frankly I don't feel like I need it but it made them feel better so I've had it. I don't wear it around my neck hardly ever, but I always keep it nearby in the house. I keep it at night hanging on my bed. When I take my showers I have it right handy in case. I never had to have LifeFone call an ambulance for me but I'm comfortable that they would in case something happens because they answer my call when I test it. I hit it twice to test it and both times seem to work fine.

Every time I've made a mistake and bump the necklace, somebody has replied. They were very polite. It's comforting to know that I can push that little button and have some help because when I fell before, I had difficulty getting somebody to respond to my calls for help. I haven't used it yet, but so far, LifeFone has been very satisfactory.

My husband had passed away so I live alone. My daughters live out of state and they felt like I need something like LifeFone. My daughter communicated with them in the very beginning when I started and everything worked out all right. She said they’ve been very nice and answered the phone. Now I call them every 17th of the month to see if it works, and it does. When a person gets to my age, one gets worried about oneself, so I told a number of people about LifeFone and they said that they felt like they should have something like it too.

I’m 90 years old, almost blind, and walk with a cane. I got a LifeFone and I feel better with it on. I take it off once in a while when I go to church because I’m with my son. Outside of that, I wear it all this time even in the bath. The only thing wrong with it is the pendant because it’s stuck in one spot and I can’t move it. Even so, I’m very pleased with it. Everybody in LifeFone has been very nice so far and they’ve been very prompt. I have no complaints against them and I haven’t had to use it except to call in to report that everything’s okay.

I got my LifeFone alert device because I fall a lot. I have a bad back and neck and I can't get up when I fall. I recently moved and I have to hook the device back up and call them to get the service again, because I kept hitting the help button on the machine. Their people are nice, but sometimes it takes them forever to pick up when I call in on a month to test. I haven't had any emergency, but nobody called to check on me when I don't test the device. I've tested it three times in the last year, and if I fall in the house I'll be okay.

I only have cousins and live alone and everybody told me I needed to get a LifeFone. It relieves my mind a little, and I like that it's there if I need it. Their people are okay and I haven't had any problem with them.

My daughter found LifeFone on the internet and told me about it. I got one and it's very convenient. They're very good about getting somebody out here if I need them. I got the mailing in the payment yesterday and it was $3.95 which I thought was high. Other than that, I'd give LifeFone the highest ranking.

I only call LifeFone for the monthly test. I talk to the people and they’re very good. They make sure I’m all right. They say, “Do you need any help?” I'd reply no and that I’m only testing it. And they’re very good in responding to that. We haven’t had to use it but we have it on all the time. And it seems if we would need it, the response is pretty fast and good. We are very satisfied with LifeFone so far.

I've fallen and have had a hip replacement. With LifeFone, I feel real good. I wear the device and even bathe with it. My family feels fine and that's what matters. I've also recommended it to others.

I have a LifeFone and I haven't used it yet. I hope that if I’m going to need it, I’m going to be very satisfied. I did a monthly testing once and there were no problems. The thing went on as I was cooking and I got scared. Running to the bedroom, I didn’t know what to do and how to shut it. But the LifeFone reps got in touch with me and were very nice. Overall, I’m happy with it and I know that if I’m going to need it, they’ll be there.

LifeFone seems to be a great company and I wouldn't know what to do without it. I wear the device around my neck all the time or keep it in my room and feel safer. In case I fall, I'd have someone to contact somebody because when I fell before, I had nothing. It was very scary. That's why my daughter got it for me. It's been a great experience so far.

I live alone in an apartment and one time I couldn't get anyone to come to my door even though I was screaming for help and banging the door with my foot. Three days later, I finally got someone to come and help me out. That's when I decided to get the LifeFone medical alert service. LifeFone reps have been wonderful. I fell several times and squeezed my device and they sent the ETN people right away. They've been very helpful and I feel more comfortable too. All in all, I've had an excellent experience.

My daughters and my son were concerned about me so my son decided to get me a LifeFone. I got it around my neck. Once in awhile if I don't get the device cleared right, I call and the reps tell me how to do it.

I'm 92 years old, I live in a retirement center, and my children are out of town at times, so I need something in case of an emergency. I wanted a device with the GPS because I don't drive anymore but I take a bus at times to go shopping or go to my physician. The LifeFone team is very friendly. However, it takes a long time for them to answer. I call them when I have a problem with the phone, and I check in every month to make sure it's charged. I haven't had to call for any help, but I know I have the device in case I do need it. I'm also thankful because most of my friends have security just for their apartment, but LifeFone covers me even outside my apartment, and it's what I wanted.

I used to fall a lot. The people from LifeFone that I talked to were nice and knowledgeable when I checked my system to see if it worked or not. Having my LifeFone makes me feel a little better and more comfortable when I'm alone or walking around by myself or when I take a shower or wash. I like it.

I've had LifeFone for a year now and they've been good. If I call for any kind of service, they always reply very nicely. They could sense that I was upset about something because I don't know how to work the phone that well, and they were helpful in calming me down. I had a band and a necklace that I could wear in the shower, and that was my biggest thing because I never go anywhere by myself. So, I always have somebody with me. Right now I've gotten so much better so I am planning on canceling it. I'd really hate to do so but it makes me nervous to always know that somebody could come in and push some button and I won't know it and call an ambulance. Plus I'm living in a nursing home so I don't need that much supervision. But overall I couldn't imagine any other company doing more.

I had fallen and fractured my hip. My daughter came and stayed with me then when I was able to get around on my own, I told her to go home. She then got a LifeFone for me. After the doctors released me to drive my car, she told me to keep the LifeFone device because I might need it sometime. I haven’t used the device yet but a couple of times, when my electricity kept going off, LifeFone called to check up on me. They've been on top of that. And so far I'm very satisfied with the device.

LifeFone works and I know that they'll be there. I tell my friends that when I go anywhere, I've got the device around my neck and the little white thing in my purse. One day I was shopping and some woman bumped into me. When I got home they were ready to send an ambulance because the device on my neck went off when she bumped into me. I had to call and tell them it was a mistake. They said the ambulance is on its way already, so they had to call and tell them not to come. They are very quick when the green light goes on. I push the button, they come, and they ask me my name and my daughter’s name. My only problem is that the green light goes every month. They call me and I tell them it's a test.

One day I fell down and I laid here on the floor until 7:00 in the morning until I called my good friend next door and asked him to come over to pick me up. That's when he said, "You better get LifeFone. I don't want to come over and find you dead on the floor." So far I'm satisfied with them and I'm glad I have it. The only problem I had was one time, I called in and punched it in, and then it was a day or two later that I checked with my answering service which said LifeFone called me twice. Then I called back and asked them why they didn't call EMS and the rep said they couldn't get a hold of me. I said, "I thought that's what the idea of this thing was. What would've happened if I'm laying here on the floor dead," and he said they were sorry about that.

I’m glad I got the LifeFone. I can call someone and don’t have to worry if I fall. One night, I didn’t know that the alarm went off. The weather forecast said that we could have severe storms during the night. I have one of those radio weather alerts that goes off whenever there’s a storm in the area or something in the vicinity. I was sound asleep and I heard something. My alert system for my LifeFone is in the kitchen and I was in the bedroom so I got to the hall. I still couldn’t hear it so I came all the way to the kitchen.

I stopped using my previous medical alert service because I felt that they were not really alert. I feel more confident with LifeFone. Everything went smoothly the few times I've had to call them, and I haven't had any problems. I've fallen several times and I needed a service like theirs to help me if I'm alone. I know that I can call them, I feel confident that they will respond, and they do. Last week, I hit the button that was around my neck by mistake, and they responded right away. I'm satisfied with their service.

My husband’s 95 and I’m 88, and so my daughter got LifeFones for us. She also did the testing for us and talked to the people at LifeFone. So far, our experience has been good. We have our necklaces on and we haven’t had any reason to push the button yet. But I'd recommend these to people if they were our age.

My niece went and purchased a LifeFone device for me. I only had to use it once, and was glad that I did. I clunked my head so much and hurt myself, and a lot of people that LifeFone sent came, and saw that I wasn't hurt at all. They were very good. I would recommend LifeFone to a friend.

My friend, Rey, is all by himself. He had a fall about a little more than a year ago. He got a LifeFone and he puts it on when nobody is with him and it makes him feel more comfortable. When he's got it on, he knows if something happens he can mash the button of the device. He likes the device and he has never complained as well about the LifeFone team members.

I got a LifeFone since I'm very old and there's a risk of falling. Also, I don't see very well, which is something that's been occurring gradually. I'm losing my eyesight. I'm glad I have it. I haven't had an emergency where I've had to call them, but I bumped it a few times and I’ve inadvertently set it off, and the response has been very quick. As a matter of fact, I was in another room and I thought I was hearing voices, and then I realized what it was, so then I responded to it. There was a beep and then the voice came on immediately. I want that immediate response in a real emergency. I'm very satisfied with LifeFone. It's amazing how fast their response is when I set the alarm off by mistake. They're very concerned, and they make sure everything is all right before they get off. Additionally, they know my name which is always nice.

I got COPD and I was having problems breathing, so I got a LifeFone. Having it makes me feel a bit safer. If I need an ambulance, LifeFone team will send somebody. Had a very good experience with them, except that it takes such a long time for them to answer.

My family lives out of town and they were the ones who set up my LifeFone for me. When my husband died, my daughter and her husband talked to me about getting something. My daughter insisted because she lives in North Carolina and can't get to me immediately. I'm able to walk around and everything, but I've had too many friends of mine fall. In fact one of my friends in my apartment building who already passed away fell and broke her hip. But her neighbor was on her Lifeline and was able to go right across the hall to her.

It took LifeFone a long time to get on the phone. I called them a few days ago and it said, "This is a recording." And they kept saying, "Emergency, emergency." I could be dead by the time they got through with saying that. But they were nice and the rep asked if I needed help and I said, "No, I was just checking my system." Their response time is not really good and I almost changed companies, but then I didn't because of their price. I had one that I was gonna change to and the price was higher so I stayed with LifeFone.

I have only the best experiences with LifeFone. I'm very satisfied with their service. I got a medical alert service because a dear friend told me that since I'm 88 years old, I should have something. I live next door to my cousin in a senior residence, and I always thought that we're in touch with one another all the time during the day and into the evening sometimes, but my friend was right that I needed something. My cousin and I both have LifeFone and we recommended them to a friend who also bought it.

My son is with me but he's hardly here so sometimes I'm alone and I fall once in a while. I got the LifeFone and so far, I'm doing good with it. I feel safer, and I don't have to worry because I got it here. The people at LifeFone are very friendly and they answer right away. I have used a different medical alert before and I like LifeFone. It's the best. It's very good to have and I recommend it to my friends.

It's nice to have LifeFone even though somebody's with Marilyn all the time. We got it in case she'd fall when we're not home. The LifeFone team has been quick in responding. Then as soon as they find out everything's okay, it's great. Since having it, she has more peace of mind.

My father was 95 when he got the LifeFone device because he fell when he was trying to change his tire out in the driveway and I was in the house. I wasn’t really happy when he got hurt. My sister and I appreciate the LifeFone a lot but he'd get rid of it in a heartbeat. He struggles a little bit when it’s the test mode but I do it for him once a month, which is not a problem. He’s 96 years old now and I don’t expect him to be real savvy. We had a problem with the unit itself but they sent us a new one and it was here within a couple days.

Last October, I had a stroke and I was alone. My kids found me finally and made me have a medical alert all the time. It's a safety thing for me. Everything's been fine with LifeFone. I have already told my sister-in-law all about the device and I'm very happy with it.

I told my husband that my doctor suggested getting a LifeFone, then he took over from there and paid for this year's. I accidentally pushed the button leaning over the washer and it was scary because I live alone. But other than that, I haven't had to use it. It's wonderful and I have an access to it but I don't wear it when I go out because I don't feel like I need it around my neck in a restaurant or church because I'm with people and it doesn't reach that far.

My LifeFone experience has been great. When my cat walked over and stepped on the phone which was set up on the table, their people called me right away and asked if everything was alright. It is a convenience and makes me much more comfortable at 95 to have something that I can call with when something comes up. I'm very happy with LifeFone.

LifeFone had helped me a lot. I'm on a walker and when I go over to the grocery store and get my groceries and stuff, I wanted something along with me so in case something happens, I can use my LifeFone.

I have used another medical alert service that I got somewhere in Utah. When I called their number a human voice came on right quick but that one didn't have the ability to go with me in my car where I go. That's why I changed to LifeFone. However, when they're connecting me it's so loud I can't hear the operator. It's very annoying because I can't talk to him.

I have muscular dystrophy and my husband has ALS. We fell and were on the floor in the house for four hours before someone could get in and find us. So our son researched medical alert services and found that LifeFone was the best. The only time we've had to use the button or talk to anybody was when they check us out once a month to make sure it's working, and it's always fine. I also had to talk with them to change our telephone number and it was a pleasant experience.

My husband fell, broke his leg and pressed the LifeFone button and they came on immediately. I was in the other room and he was out on the breeze way so I didn't know he fell. I didn't hear him call me but the LifeFone started talking and I heard the rep and came to the phone. She told me my husband had pressed his button and I ran out there. She called the ambulance and told me to stay calm. Everything went fine and it was a real good experience.

LifeFone is the first medical alert service that I have had. Four years ago I looked into getting a unit. I called our main medical supply place and talked to them about the system they recommend. I also talked to the hospital where I had just gotten out of after a really terrible scenario. It was something that happened to me where I could have used that alert and inquired about the system that they recommended but neither of these systems have a mobile unit. I slipped on the ice and fractured my femur and hip. I laid there for half an hour in 20 degrees. But before another tenant happened to come out, I didn't even realize I had my cellphone in my purse that I'm just unused to using it.

I've had LifeFone for almost 10 years now. I'm 94 years old and I'm all by myself. I wanted some security just in case I need it and I feel more secure with LifeFone. The only thing is, as I got older my wrist got thinner and the Velcro on my wristband was becoming bigger. So I kept cutting down and the next thing, I ran out of Velcro. I called and asked if they have a smaller diameter wristband and they did send me one so I'm all set with this now.

I test my LifeFone every month. I thought if I was really in trouble, it takes them a while to get to me but I don’t know if that’s normal or not. However, it’s comforting to know that I have it. Also, the people there were congenial.

I have a breathing problem and I'm living alone. Sometimes I don’t get it under control and I need extra help. My son got a LifeFone for me and he pays for it. I wear it around my neck. When I check up, the people there were very nice. I’ve also used it a couple of times to call the ambulance for me which is only four blocks away so it’s easy. Then the lightning took out my device and LifeFone sent me a new one. I’m waiting for my son to come and plug it in for me.

I've had LifeFone for a long time and my experience with it has been good. I have no problem with it. I'm a little older and by myself and LifeFone makes me feel more secure. I always wear it around my neck and it is comfortable. I've only used it once back in New York and they were good in responding when I called to check it. I'd recommend it for anybody living alone or being old like I am. It's one of those things I wouldn't be without. I have it right by my bed and I put it on in the morning when I get up until I go to bed.

I've had LifeFone for a few years now, but never had to use it. I test it just about every month and the response time is about two to three minutes. The reps were all kind and nice. They always talk and act professionally. I wear the device around my neck and I feel more secure having it. I'd recommend it.

I’m a disabled person and I live in a disability place. I’m the type of person that needs a medical alert device so I got one through a program that I’m at. I've had my LifeFone for five years now and I test it once a month, when I have to use it. I feel though that they could respond a little quicker as they're not fast enough.

I've had LifeFone for years. I got it to make sure that if there was nobody home I could call somebody if I fell or something. However when I call them once a month to say that everything was all right they respond too long. Also, I never get anything saying they took money from my checking account. I'd like them to send me a bill and I want to know how much it is a month now. Other than that, I'm satisfied and I'd recommend to someone else to get the one that works when you go outside. What I got only works in the house but that's because I always have someone with me when I go outside the house.

I'm getting older and I had fallen and broke my ankle. My children decided I needed a medical alert device and my son-in-law did a research to find a place to get me one of those. He chose LifeFone and I went along with it. I have it around my neck all the time - in the shower and every place, and I’m pleased with it. I’m glad I have it on in case something happens. The only thing is, when it calls in, “Emergency. Emergency,” it seems so long to me when I call in to test it every month. Everybody’s been very nice though.

I know a few people who had a LifeFone, like my sister. Then I fell and I have a real bad heart condition, I have COPD, diabetes, and a lot of different things. The family thought that I needed to have LifeFone. So my son ordered it and had it sent to me. I've been falling a lot lately, but there's always been somebody to help me get up. I haven't had to use the device but I test it at least once a month and maybe more. LifeFone's people have always been really nice and very cooperative if I ever did contact them for anything or any reason. My family has more peace of mind and they're happy with it and so I'm certainly happy with it as well.

I've had my LifeFone for several years but haven't had to use it. I do test it regularly, and it seems like it takes quite a while to answer me. I wear it around my neck and it's comfortable for me. I recommend LifeFone.
