LifeStation

I have the medical necklace and the experience has been wonderful. I had an accidental activation on my button, and they were very prompt and courteous. There was no delay in the response on attempting to get me help. So if I needed help and was unresponsive, there would be some immediate help coming right directly to me. Lifestation has been the best. It gave me freedom because at first I was scared to leave my apartment. I literally was scared to get out of bed because when I would stand to get up, I would get a little woozy. But Lifestation gave me the freedom that at least I could get off the house and I could do things. I knew that if something did happen, all I had to do was push a button and I could get help.

The reps answered all my questions and they were very personable and concerned about what I needed. It was good. Being an old fart, I'm not into all this technology. But I liked the smartwatch. I wear it all the time. It's convenient. Besides having the idea of protection, that if something happened, I can push that button and get some help. It's functional. The neat things about it are when I'm working out, I can check my heart rate on it. I'm active. Some days, I'm curious, "How many miles did I walk around this house?" And the other day, I was winterizing my RV and, I walked three and a half miles around the place. For a guy like myself to see something like that is neat. And the way I'm wearing it, I don't have to worry about that I'm accidentally gonna set it off. And when I called LifeStation out there or talked to them, they were right there and it has been good. I can understand the people I talked to. They talk English.

I wouldn't have chosen LifeStation to begin with. I had a thing around my neck that I was given when I moved in this building. It was activated. However, it didn't work. I didn't even try it for five years because I hadn't fallen. But once you fall, you can't get up. When I fell, I pushed that thing and the reps came four days and four hours later. I didn't even know what they were at the door for. I had forgotten by that time. They kept insisting that they had a call from me. The big guy was very nasty. I would recommend LifeStation but if anything happens like that again, I would not. I've taken the rides though and they've all been very good. You have to pay for it but it's only five bucks for a couple months.

It was annoying that LifeStation sent me the wrong device. “We didn't have the one you want, so we sent you this.” I said, “I don't want this. I want the one that I saw on the internet.” They threatened me. “If you don't send this back, you're gonna have to pay for it.” It’s office workers and warehouse workers. I said, “Well, what would give them the right to send me the wrong one just because the other one was out of stock?” But it's all right. I sent the wrong one back, and they sent me the right one.

Having LifeStation is something that when I'm out that I can have on me. So, if something were to go on, that's most important that I could be able to push the button and get some help. And if somebody was with me, and that happens, for someone else. On occasion, I check my heart rate if I'm moving doing something and I feel like, "Oh, my goodness. Let me check, my heart's racing too much. I might need to slow it down." It has been good for that. It's good when my family and everybody is gone and I'm the only one home, and something were to happen. That was the primary reason for me to have like that.

I've enjoyed Lifestation. I like it good. But I have some trouble with it. It went out, and I had to call and get another device to go around my neck. But that didn't last very long. It took me about a week to get that new thing ordered and get it here. Other than that, I haven't had any trouble that I know of.

Updated on 02/19/2023: This is the final update to my previous review. After over a month I received a call from Joe telling me they were very sorry for all the delays and stress this had caused us. Joe assured me that the unit would ship the next Monday and he would send me a tracking #, this was Feb 10th. On Monday the 13th I received the tracking number from Joe in an Email. I checked the tracking on the 14th and it showed it had not shipped. Unfortunately on the night of the 14th our Aunt had a fall during the night and with no way to alert anyone she was not found till the next day and passed away in hospital the following day. If she had received medical help earlier the outcome may have been better. Four days later I received a call from Joe expressing condolences and assuring me that the unit had now arrived at our aunt's apartment. There was also another random charge of $99.95 to her credit card.

I keep my device right next to me, even when I get in the shower. I hang it on the shower door. It's great because it's a GPS thing. No matter what, LifeStation can find me, and that's what I need. I've never had to push it, but everything seems to be fine. When I put it on the charger, it takes less than an hour to charge up. Everything's good with it, and I've already recommended it to several people.

They are very good. The device was around my neck and I must have hit it, and then they came here. It was very good.

It's like a backup emergency situation device for my mom to feel comfortable. So far, so good.
