I'm living by myself now and I had to think about getting a medical alert device. I need somebody I can get a hold of to get help or see if I need help when I feel sick or when my blood sugar goes way down, so I chose to get a LifeStation. It has worked very good all the times I have tested it and it helps me maintain a normal life. Everybody at LifeStation has been very helpful, too and I'm very satisfied with my experience. If anybody’s looking for a help button, I'd recommend LifeStation.
Harold, you’re right, the LifeStation system is a great way to get help when you need it; not only if you fall but for any other emergencies you may have. Our operators are standing by 24/7 to assist you when you need it, so we’re so happy the LifeStation system could help enable you to live your life independently.

When I called LifeStation, the team was very helpful and professional. I had no problem setting it up for my mother. There was a $5 difference compared to the other companies. At the time when I was signing my mother up, the lady told me a promotion was going on and she made sure that my mom got that, so that was nice. I'm paying for it monthly for her and she doesn't know it. Back in March, she fell and our main concern was she lives by herself. If something happens, she just has to press the button and then get help right away. She feels safer with it now that we have it. We had to use it one-time and she accidentally set it off a couple of times but they were nice about it. They told her that it happens and not to worry. We're pleased with it and everything is going well.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review, Ann. You’re right, our Customer Service experts work hard to make sure you receive the best service for a fair price. We’re so happy having the LifeStation service makes your Mother feel safer in her home, and could give you added peace of mind.

We have LifeStation and we set it off by accident a few times. The person who always answers it is very courteous, does a good job and asks “Are you all right?” However, I hate that it sets off many times but I just count it as a month's test. It’s easy to use and I thought that I would have to call in each time I get ready to test it, but I found out I don't have to do that. The lady told me, "Oh, you don't have to call us each time." You just go ahead and do it and they automatically get your test. Also, we get the kind of service we need on it so it's definitely a plus to have it. It's very reasonable for the amount of money I pay a month. I checked on others and I feel that I'm given just as good a service on this on the times that it has gone off, but others are more expensive. When you're a retiree and on a fixed income, anything that you get at cheaper prices is always going to be better. But so far, it's a very good service.

I got a LifeStation for my husband who’s got a disease similar to Parkinson's and he is on a fall alert constantly. He lives alone and has had quite a few falls and we wanted to make him safer so that he can reach out to somebody whenever he needed. The LifeStation team were very friendly and helpful on the phone with setting it up. But every now and then it shows that the battery is low, and I don't like it. The voice system is also loud, and we don't know what to do to change it. But it continues to work so we just ignored it.
Thank you, Vera for your feedback. We are glad we were able to speak with you and had a chance to address your concern. We look forward to continued monitoring of service. - Samantha

My experience with LifeStation has been great. My friend and my son talked me into getting a medical alert device. It is in my drawer next to my nightstand in my bedroom and all I got to do is to reach over and hit the button if there's an emergency. However they told me that it doesn’t work outside the house because it's only intended to be used inside. I also realized that it is not going to cover me if I'm in my car going down the road.

My mom has fallen which led us to get her a medical device. When she used the emergency button they called and she didn't answer. They also called me but I wasn't able to answer too but they sent someone out. The fire department came out and helped her. Since having the LifeStation I worry less. I haven't had a problem in the world and it has been easier.

My wife wanted me to have a LifeStation medical alert device. I have severe arthritis in my hip and a bad back and I’m getting around on two canes. And I fell down a few times. She wanted me to have this in case I fall down and got incapacitated and she wasn’t home. The LifeStation team who set it up was great. Everything worked fine and we’re all happy. Every month I push the button and tell them, “Just testing like your manual says to do.” And it just sits here quietly. I’m glad that it’s there if I need it but I’m hoping I don’t need it. Overall, Lifestation did a good job.

My 88-year-old mom has a LifeStation, it’s a necklace type and I felt more comfortable with her having it. I pay for it but it's at her house and she lives a mile from me. She does her monthly checks and they know she’s deaf so they work good with her. One time when she first got it, she was baking or doing something and she was up against the counter and set it off. It called me immediately but she was in the other room, so with her hearing, she couldn’t hear it. I told her to go over and tap it but by that time, the ambulance was already there because she’s only about three minutes from the hospital. It worked out perfectly as advertised and I've already recommended it.

I have COPD and also have stage 4 melanoma plus I have a history of having fallen many times. A couple of times, I had to call my daughter up to have her come over to get me up from the floor. And one of those times, I hit my head and I was bleeding, so she absolutely insisted that I get a medical alert device. I looked at reviews, liked what I saw and got a LifeStation. I like having it myself and it gives me peace of mind. I set it off accidentally and contacted them. Their employees are quick to respond, always polite and have nice, kind voices when they're on the phone. It’s an excellent company and it’s a wonderful experience.

I had my daughter contact LifeStation and they shipped my device out to me because I have been falling and I live alone. It's a great feeling to know that at least I have it. It's great to know that if I need it, it would be available for me. I've had two experiences where I used the button and didn't realize it. I use the bracelet and I was opening a can and I must have hit it. All of a sudden, I heard these voices behind me and it was a boo-boo. I try not to let that happen but at least I know it works. I would recommend LifeStation to a friend.

I was afraid of falling down and passing out so I made the decision to get a medical alert device. I have two LifeStation devices. I use it everywhere I go.

LifeStation provides me the confidence that if I fall or have any accident, they will send the help to give CPR and then take me to the nearest hospital. So, that’s very comforting to me. However, it is cumbersome and I don’t like it, but my wife keeps monitoring me whether I'm wearing it or not. She heard from somewhere that uses a medical alert device and was convinced that it will be helpful if she is not home and they will take care of me. I always wear the device, but I don’t think it's very useful.

Our experience with LifeStation has not been top-notch. I have two units and the one for my wife malfunctioned. Mine malfunctioned too about four weeks ago. I spoke to one girl and she was helpful. She sent me a new unit out. Even though they sent it by express mail, it still took three days. But at that time, I had doubts in my mind - if it fails, it wouldn't charge, then it wouldn't work. What if it happens when I needed it? I can't blame the company. It's just that I have to have a system that's more solid. They've been in business a long time and it's a case where they've brought me to a point that I got to make a change. It’s supposed to be lifesaving and should not have malfunctions like that. It could be one time in a million, but it happened to us. I'm going to call them this week and ask them to cancel the system. I’m disappointed with them.
Thank you, William for your feedback. As discussed, please insure that the device is charged properly before using; be sure to allow at least 4 hours of charging.

I got the LifeStation for my mom. She lives up in New York and I live down in Florida. She feels more comfortable knowing that in case of emergencies, she'll just push a button and someone will help and they answer within seconds or minute every time. She also uses it once a month to test it. However, my mom speaks a little more Spanish, and LifeStation didn't have anybody that speaks Spanish. But otherwise, they're great and they did whatever they promised.

I have fallen a few times, mostly at my yard and at the time I had those falls, I did not have any assistance. Fortunately, I did not hurt myself. But, I'll be 76 in December and I live alone, so I just wanted that extra security. However, my funds are limited and so I went with LifeStation because I had mail handler's insurance coverage and they were offering them for a lot less. I'm thankful that I have not had to use the LifeStation for an emergency, but I've done the monthly routine checks with it. However, it's not something that I can speak to from the outside. So, if I were to fall outside and needed assistance and I pushed the button, there's nobody available inside to answer the machine. Other than that, I'm satisfied with LifeStation and I would recommend it.

My mother had been in a car accident and a medical alert device was recommended upon her discharge from rehab. LifeStation was excellent. I spoke with their rep during set up and I told him what I needed. The guy answered all my questions and everything was fine.

Our experience with LifeStation was fine. We know it's there if she needs it.

I had fallen a couple of times and I can't get on my knees to get myself up. One day, I fell outside and couldn't get up. Nobody was home and all I could do was scoot myself on my butt to my back porch. I thought I could raise myself up by pulling up on a chair and get in the house. But by the time I scooted across, I didn't have enough energy to get on the porch even though it's only about four or five inches, so I sat there and hollered for help. Finally, the people who live near me came out and asked what was wrong. I explained that I can't get up and they called the paramedics for me. They came and picked me up and I got in the house. So, I got a LifeStation, My daughter ordered it and she pays for it. I have one that goes around my neck and I'm more confident in the house.
A long time ago, they couldn’t hear me talking with the one in the house. Afterwards, I told LifeStation and got the one that goes outside. I keep it in my purse when I go off and the rep told me I couldn't use it inside the house. We have a big dog and if he gets rambunctious, I put my thing on. Otherwise, I could manage to get to the one on the counter. I also have one that's like a cellphone. The other day I bumped the device for some reason and it came on emergency, and then somebody came and asked if I was okay. They are very quick to answer and they've been very nice every time I've ever talked to them.

I will soon become 91 and I live alone so having the LifeStation is a good idea should I fall or something. It gives me some measure of safety. I'm glad I haven't had to use it but I know it's there if I need it. All I've ever done is to check in with them if the device was working and they were professional when I called in. But I don't like the necklace. I cannot figure out how to link and shorten it but it's not a serious thing. When somebody comes and I think of it I'll have them figure it out. Also my son comes and sets it so it will stay where I want it to stay. I'm comfortable having LifeStation.

LifeStation’s been good except for yesterday. I was out shopping and I got a call from my neighbors who are on my list asking if I’m okay. They got a text that I didn’t answer my med alert thing. Then they got a text saying that the weekly test failed. I’m only supposed to test it once a month. So why are they getting text messages? And when it’s an emergency, it would have been a phone call. I pressed the button and the LifeStation team got online and said that they haven’t done anything and everything was showing fine. Other than that, it’s been great. I've called LifeStation a few times. I had fallen enough to where I hit the button and they were on the line immediately and got me help.
I was glad my nephew made me promise to get this medical alert device. I worry about being alone, and this definitely makes me more confident. Before this, I had ordered one from Mobile Alert but it just wasn’t what I wanted. It was big and clunky and I don’t want to carry that around. I called LifeStation and I changed to the wristband and got the GPS one which I need to wear around my neck. But I fixed it so that I can put it on a clasp and hook it on to my belt loop because of a neck problem, so I can’t have that weight and it works fine.
Everybody from LifeStation that has responded to my cry for help has been top of the line and it can’t get much better than that. The thrill of it all was that the ambulance came and that was my first time ever in an ambulance. All those guys were young, good looking and they were all so sweet and kind. They were, “Do you need anything to take?” I said my purse and they found my purse. They also said, “We need to put something on your feet.” And I told them what drawer to look in to get me some socks. “What else?” My phone because it’s got my credit card in it. So he went in there and he looked. Overall, I would highly rate LifeStation and I have told people they need to get this.

My mom is 86 years old and she had a stroke in her home and was hospitalized for three days.

I got the bracelet and the necklace but she feels better with the bracelet on. She knows she's supposed to be wearing it. She was unsure about it at the start and was scared she was going to set it off and something's going to happen, so I told her to not be scared of it.
I had to go over and do the once a month testing. I set it off and it goes through all the alarming. Then the customer service person comes on the line and asks her if she's okay. The time frame is very fast and I was impressed with that. If she fell, she wouldn't just lie down there because somebody will call her or try to get her.

My parents have been prone to a lot of falls because of their age. We had a house alarm with the medical alert necklaces from Monitronics but my parents didn't want to wear the necklaces so they collected dust. We only went the old way and dialed 911. We switched to LifeStation because they offered the bracelet instead of a necklace and my parents were willing to wear the thing on their wrist. The LifeStation team was very polite and thorough. There were a couple of times where it took longer than I would have hoped for them to come on the intercom but it might have been me because it's an emergency.
Since getting LifeStation, I'm less worried because I'm a call away. So it helps. And my parents must be more comforted that they can press the button and get someone quickly. We've used the emergency button a dozen times already since we got it. The police and the ambulance usually get here pretty quickly. LifeStation has a very reasonable price and Lifeline was very expensive but they had mentioned that they would have a database with my parents' profiles including their names and notes that they had a stroke and can't speak. And LifeStation doesn't have that. It's an issue because if my dad presses a button, he can't speak to tell them what's wrong. But they send somebody anyway so that's good. If they don't hear anything and they call me and if I'm too far away, they just send the ambulance. So, it's working.
LifeStation has been great for us. I'm the one who gets the calls. I had left town for a week and then switched it for my sister to be called. And I thought I called and switched it back but the next time we used it, they called her first. So, I need to straighten that out. But otherwise, LifeStation saves lives. And overall, our experience with them has been excellent.

My mother lives alone and we're afraid that she would fall. I got the LifeStation for her a long time ago as well as the lockbox for the key for the fire department. We did elaborate testing to the system throughout the house and the operator was friendly. My mother hasn’t had any problems. The only thing I expected was that the life alert would have a microphone on the button, but it's a speaker phone which all medical alerts are like that so that was fine. Also, one of her old friends was there and they tried to get the key out but the old lady couldn’t get it out. My mother called me and said that the thing is broken, but I was able to do it with no problem. It isn't a design flaw but the lockbox needs the dexterity of a young person to get the key out. The product can be improved, but LifeStation is competitive with everything else that’s out there.

I got arthritis in my hip and back and I just take it day-by-day. Also, my daughter got LifeStation for me because a friend of ours slid off the bed, laid on the floor for 56 hours and couldn't get up. I fell quite a few times too, but I was always able to get up. I also wear the device around my neck or my arm but I have a little cordless phone that I keep in my pocket. Every time I go outside and if I need help, a lady neighbor of mine stays home all the time and I can call her. She's good to see about me and check on me, but I call LifeStation once a month to let them know it's all right and they are very friendly and helpful.

Service initially was fine, but it deteriorated. Test of medical alert system not satisfactory. And there were regular billing mistakes made by the company. Various attempts to resolve their mistakes resulted in nothing. They were not helpful, professional, and capable of solving simple issues. Stay away from Life Station and find better.

My experience with LifeStation's medical alert system has been fine. It was my daughter who insisted that I have a medical alert device. She checked around to see what would work for me. I've always been a very active woman and my husband has Alzheimer's and liver cancer, so he's not able to do for himself. My daughter told me that he can't help me if I fall, so I have my LifeStation medical device on all the time. It's a safety precaution for me and I'm glad that I have it. I check in every month to show them everything's okay. Their team is fine and they call me by my name. The only thing I didn't like about it is that I have to use a telephone to hook it up to, which is not good. Once, my daughter timed it when I push the emergency button, and it seems like it takes a long time until they hook up.

My mom was getting afraid of being by herself in the house and not being able to call 911 if she needed to. She had a stroke a couple of years ago and she’s afraid that if she has another one, she won’t remember how to use her phone and how to call for help. So, she wanted something where she could push a button and somebody would come or check on her right away. We got her a LifeStation medical alert device and it was really easy setting it up. Now, she feels more confident and comfortable being by herself. But other than that, she’s really healthy, active and independent.
LifeStation had mentioned that they would buzz the emergency button once a month and for her not to worry. They would just check and make sure it was still working. However, they haven't done that yet. My mom could push that button herself and see if somebody answered but I’ll just call them instead. Overall, our experience with LifeStation was very good.

My dad had passed away and my mother is 91 years old and on her own, so we wanted to have a system in case she had a problem. We've had the LifeStation for four months now and she’s happy.

My parents are both in their 80’s and they both are not stable on their feet. I was concerned that they would fall and the other one wouldn't hear them. They swear that they’re always together and that one of them would find the other one but that’s not always true ‘cause their hearing’s bad. One would be on the seat watching TV and the other one’s could be in the bathroom. There's no telling how long they’d be in there.
It took a little bit of time to get them to do wear the LifeStation device and I still sometimes have to remind them. At first, Mom didn’t want to wear it in the shower and I told her the whole reason she has it is in case she falls in the shower. She didn't know it can get wet. Then, a lot of times my dad would say he's just sitting in his recliner and he's not going anywhere. I would have to tell him that he still needs it in case he gets up, even if he's not going far. If they should fall in the driveway getting the paper or the mail then they can push it and not have to worry about someone never finding them or one of us will come out and see them. Having LifeStation has been reassuring and makes me feel more comfortable. I always recommend it to friends.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review, Amy, and we’re so glad the LifeStation system could help both of your parents and give you greater peace of mind that they can get help should they fall.

The only thing was in the beginning of this thing, I got an ad from Kaiser and it was supposed to be $20 or something. When my son called to have them do it, they charged me three something and they told him that they didn’t have the lower priced one. It’s another $30 and they won’t do anything about it.

She then told me that she will send me a necklace and that she will give me a $60 off the bill. However neither one of those things happened. I was really unhappy with the fact that I've been lied to. That was a false claim in the beginning. I was in for a year and I paid more than $25.95 a month.

She was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and she has fallen a number of times. The most recent one, both she and my mother-in-law had fallen so we decided we’re getting two medical alert devices. We’ve had a number of other medical alert services for other relatives so when I was shopping around, I’d obviously gone to those other ones first. But when I started to compare pricing, LifeStation was offering the same services for 75% less. Yet the service is really good and their response times are very quick. They call the home, me, and the back-up number as well. They're also very pleasant to work with and very thorough.
The only thing I’m not too much of a fan of is the fall detection pendant. It's very sensitive and we had one malfunction. We would have it off of her while I was home and we would just leave it like next to the keys, not up against anything, it would go off when it wasn’t even touched. She was getting a little hesitant about wearing it so we ordered another one and it seems to be a lot better with this new unit. The device is very sensitive though, so we get a number of false alarms. But I would rather have it a little more sensitive so if she does hit the floor, it goes off for sure. Other than that, LifeStation has been very good.
LifeStation provides security and it’s quite a bit of relief. I know that I can leave her at home and when I have more money, I would eventually upgrade to the one that has the GPS tracking on it. That way, if she wants to go further out in the yard or to a friend’s house, I know that she is okay everywhere else. Typically, she’s out with other people but we would never know what she'll run into and our home is my biggest concern. But overall, our experience with LifeStation has been easy and comforting. I’m genuinely very happy with the system and LifeStation is the medical alert service that I recommend.

I've had two LifeStation medical alert systems and I feel safer. But I had a fall sensor on one of these alert devices and it was terrible. When I would take off the alert device, lift it over my head, and put it on my bed to take a shower, it would sense and record that I had fallen. This happened three times and the police and the ambulance came to my house. Everybody looked at me like I'm stupid and I was so embarrassed. I didn't understand what was happening initially because I was fine, until I figured it out. I was new with this device and I was told that it recorded falls. My husband had just died and I thought it would be good to have in case I fell. But it's very sensitive and it has caused me a lot of trouble. I found out that the fall sensor is very imperfect, so I would never suggest it to anyone until it has been improved.
I called LifeStation and told them that I didn't want the fall sensor anymore and I just wanted the GPS. I took off my alert device with the fall sensor and sent it back, and they sent me another one, and now I have the sensor with just the GPS on it. I was very dissatisfied with my previous alert device with the fall sensor, but I'm happy with my new one. I'm a very strong lady and I have not fallen yet, so I am okay so far.

Life Station is the first medical alert system I had and it’s fine. My friend referred me to use it and we got a $25 gift certificate. However, I forget to call in to make sure it’s still working but I will check once a month. I'm short and I lean over my counter so it set off when I wasn’t used to it. They were quick to respond. My daughter even called them and she was pleased with the responses. My friend didn’t have any problems either and overall, I’m satisfied.

My mother fell and broke her hip so I bought LifeStation. I went online to Consumer Reports to compare different units and I chose it because of its price and full features. Also, my mother is 90 and it was her first medical alert system. She used it once and they called right away. They called 911 first and then me which was smart because I don't live with her. So, I called to see if she was all right. She answered the phone and the ambulance was there already. I told her, "Ma, they asked you if you're all right." and she said, "Well, I heard somebody talking, I didn't know who it was." However, we fight sometimes because she doesn’t always wear it. She's afraid to set it off again by accident but so far, it's working good and does what it's supposed to. It was the best one.

Original Review: March 2, 2017
I ordered this system and didn't like it. I never plugged the unit in and promptly returned it. I tracked the return and saw that it had been received. I called their customer support number and spoke to someone there. I was wanting to know how long it would take for my refund of a quarterly payment I had made. I was informed that I would only receive a two month refund instead of the three month amount I paid them. They said this was because the unit had been activated prior to sending it and so I had to pay for the first month charges even so it was never connected to my home. I asked to speak with a supervisor and they couldn't connect me to one. I had to leave my number for them to call me back. This person continually kept telling me the same thing, that I had to pay for the one month. I asked to speak to someone who was higher up but was told there was no one.
After repeating the fact that this was not shown on the order information and the multiple persons I spoke to never gave me this information. I refused to accept this policy because it was not a part of their order information. He eventually agreed to return the full amount I paid them. I saw other reviews from several persons who also had the same treatment. I didn't see these reviews before and the company only shared ones that praised their company. I did suggest that they share this refund policy on their site and the phone order assistance.

I helped my elderly Aunt order this because her husband had just passed and she wanted to have the comfort of knowing that she would have this in case of an emergency. We researched and decided on LifeStation... Bad move. We paid for 3 months in advance so she would not have to navigate the site or try to write a check for monthly payment... Another bad move. There is no contract correct? But apparently if you pay in advance they will not return your money if you choose to stop service. My Aunt was very disappointed in the quality of the product. She ordered the bracelet and had it converted to the pendant with the supplies that LifeStation supplied. The pendant promptly fell off and we are trying to locate it.
My Aunt was so disappointed with the product that she asked me to call and cancel the service for her, which I attempted to do. AFTER a 35 min call and lengthy hold (after asking for a supervisor which was not available of course) I was told that the only way was for us to return the product at our expense, and then AFTER they received the product, WE would have to call billing to see about the "Possibility" of any refund.

Yet another case of LifeStation being totally unreasonable with their billing practices and the effectiveness of their products.

The unit did not work and the day it was opened and tested did not work, so I was told to return the unit and would get a refund. They have refused to give me a full refund even though the unit was never used and returned plus I had to pay shipping to return their unusable product.

The LifeStation service was fine. The problem came about when it was time to cancel service after several years of service. I paid for a full year in August and cancelled service in December. Guess what? No prorated refund. "That's our policy" said the Tai, the customer service rep. Of course she could not point me to the policy, nor is anything posted online about returns and/or cancellation of service. That is such a shady business model that takes advantage of every customer (at some point) and leaves the last impression of the company as horrible.

The service that you pay for is one thing but the common sense in designing the thing so you'd want to wear it is another. I had one previously that had a fairly discreet wristband, black and elastic. Small enough that someone would think it was a watch. I had to get another system recently because I got rid of my land line and went to cellular service. The unit they sent me has a giant bright white wristband made of plastic. Looks like something you'd get at a dollar store. The thing is about 1 inch wide. The white makes NO sense whatsoever as it quickly gets dingy and dirty looking. I'm ashamed to wear it. I called customer service and the child on the other end suggested I just not wear it publicly. He also said that this is the same fob that ALL units from ALL carriers use as they are ALL made by the same manufacturer. Really? Let me cancel my account and order from someone else and see what I can get?
