Medical Alert Reviews

I had bought a Medical Alert for my son in Alabama. And when he died, I took it with me because I live alone and if I fall down, I don’t have the strength to get up. Medical Alert had talked me in to having it outside the house, but it was so sensitive that they came and I didn’t touch it. So I don’t like that. I've used it though and it has been very helpful and very nice. So far, everything is satisfactory.

I got the Medical Alert just in case there was a problem, and they're doing very well because it gives us some peace of mind.

I'm glad I have the Medical Alert device. I wear it around my neck and I've been more careful knowing that I'm wearing it.

I fell and had a hard time getting up so I needed a medical alert device. Anytime I ever called Medical Alert I got good results. I feel very comfortable.

I started sleeping with the Medical Alert band around my wrist because I had surgery on my neck. Then I got the door key on the doorknob in case I may fall on the floor or I can't get out of bed, and they can't get in and help me. The only difficulty I have is this thing won't go off if I fall down and I will have to press the button. Otherwise, I feel satisfied with Medical Alert. I got the device which any time when I go outside, I can talk to someone if I got a problem.

I live alone and the doctors told me that I couldn’t live alone. Due to my living arrangement, they would not release me to go to my home and Medical Alert was the best thing I could do at the moment so I got one. One time, I’ve accidentally touched the device and it went off, but it was okay. Their customer service team treats me very well whenever I call. The only problem is the financial arrangement wherein I’ve been on the financial set-up plan. I don’t remember telling Medical Alert to do that so I’m gonna discuss it with the children and see what we’re gonna do to go from there. But so far, the system works well. Medical Alert is good to have for a person who lives alone. It’s good to know that you have something to rely on in case an emergency does happen.

Rupert was beginning to fall. I went to town and paid some bills, but when I came back, he was on the floor and couldn't get help. I saw Medical Alert advertised on TV and I took it. However, when we first got it, I was kinda disappointed in a way. They told me how much it was gonna be but then after a few months, I went ahead to put the insurance on it and it went up on me $15 more. I should have been told that beforehand. But as far as everything going and working, it's doing okay.

I have a pacemaker and a stent in my heart, so if I have any trouble, all I have to do is press the Medical Alert button. I wear it around my neck all the time. It's also right by my bed if I ever have to use it. The way their customer service talked to me and asked questions was good.

With my age and my living situation it's a comfort to have Medical Alert. A friend of mine had gotten this particular one and it was recommended to her by a friend of hers whose daughter was a physician, who had researched it carefully. Everybody I talked to at Medical Alert has been very nice. The device, however, is ugly. They expect women to wear it around their neck and I don’t do that. If they had a more attractive one for women, it would be nice.

I was having dizziness and had gone several times. I got a Medical Alert device and it’s good to know that there’s somebody close by. The Medical Alert team is on top of what a person needs. I used my device once when I’ve fallen in the bathroom and was not able to get up. They were here within a very short time. So, I didn’t have to lay very long before they got here. However, at this time, I’m not getting any service. I’ve moved into an apartment and we’ve had some problems because AT&T is not in this area, and it’s not carrying it through. So, right now, I’m very disappointed.

I got a better deal with Medical Alert than the other companies, and I've been very pleased with them. I have a fall detection pendant that they help me with when I have to test it, and I also have the little box that I take with me. I don't always wear my pendant when I'm out, so I always make sure I have the little box. That's security in case something happens that I need something. But I wear the pendant during the day when I'm not in bed, and I even wear it in the shower since it's waterproof. If I accidentally set it off, which I have done number of times, they call me right back.

Medical Alert makes me feel safe and if there's a danger of you falling, you should have one. I was in a car accident. My head's been busted and my eyes have been knocked out. I have double vision and hearing trouble. Having Medical Alert makes me feel like if I need help, I can get it. I forget to put it on when I take it off. But otherwise, it fits well in my everyday lifestyle.

I had a bad fall and my kids insisted I get a medical alert device. When I was bringing in a potted plant the other day, I had it up against me and it set the Medical Alert device off. It gets in the way like that. If you press something against it, it gets set off. It started then and I had to set that plant down. They respond in a minute but they can't hear me if I’m not right in the room with the speaker thing and that's not good. I don’t like that because with most of the other devices, you can use the device anywhere. But this one is just good around the house and in the yard. You can't even use it in the bathroom. One time, I was saying that it was okay and that I had pressed the button by accident but they kept talking. So I had to go in the room with the speaker thing before I got it to shut up. I was not even that far. The device costs a lot and it doesn’t reach very far.

My children felt I should have something in case I’m by myself when I fall down. I’m very weak. I wanted a medical alert device to have some assistance of some kind. I wear the Medical Alert necklace and it’s not really light, but it’s not really heavy. The only thing is every so often, they call and they’re up on my premium for something new that I don’t know anything about. I’m on a very limited income and I had another $5 added to my bill, but the main thing is in case something happened, I can get somebody to come here. Medical Alert has been fine as far as the service is concerned and they explained things to me.

Medical Alert's team was very nice. The last time I spoke with them, I told them that I was going to cancel the device because I'm not using it. I'm by myself during the day and I'm seated right beside the phone. So, if anything goes wrong, I can just pick up the phone and call someone. Their guy told me that they would drop the price just for me. Everything was fine when I spoke to them and nothing was impossible thus far. Still, I'm going to cancel the service.

There was one time when I couldn’t get the trunk lid on my car. I didn’t want to open and so I pulled on it and it flew up and knocked me over about 8 feet back behind my car in the garage. My cellphone was in my purse over on the other side of the car but I have metal hips and I couldn’t get myself up. So I scooted across the floor over to get my phone and it scared me enough to think what could happen next. I then got the Medical Alert device and it's okay except for the lanyard. I wear it in the shower then it’s hanging up half of the day to dry so I’m not wearing it. Then, if I want to wear a necklace when I dress up a little bit fancier, I have to take the device off because it’s blinking away underneath my top. While it's a klutzy-looking thing, it’s a safety thing. I also know several of my friends have gotten them.

I’m satisfied with the Medical Alert. I wear it around my neck and it's good.

My mother lives alone and diabetic. She has a walker but sometimes she falls so we thought she needed Medical Alert. It has come in handy at least five times. She fell before and another time, when she had shortness of breath, she just pushed it on her own. Medical Alert notified me first and that gave her security knowing that I could come first alone or the ambulance, or both. At that time, I told them to let the ambulance come and they beat me here. The day before, she said she didn't feel like eating and was kinda tired and then, my husband said that it might be her heart. So, when they called the next morning at 8:00, that was what it was. It was great that they notified me. I come almost every day to check on her but there were a couple of days in a row that I didn’t. So I don’t know what would have happened if she hadn’t had it because we wouldn’t have known.

I'm old, I got feet problems real bad, I got a pacemaker that's acting out, and my eyesight is just about gone. I was in the hospital for a month when my daughter got a Medical Alert device. I've always used the Freeport one and since my husband was a fireman, I was kinda upset that I wasn't doing it for my town. But, the Medical Alert team has been very nice. I've hit the bracelet a couple of times because it was kinda built up a little bad, and they've been right on the ball. Before I've gotten through to explain to them what had happened, they've gotten the machine running. Then, I jumped right on as quick as I could and told them I'm sorry that I hit it. I've had the bracelet for so long now and I leave it right in my right hand all the time. It's old and it keeps coming undone on me sometimes, but it's okay to wear.

Having my Medical Alert device has been relieving mentally. However, the device wakes me up in the middle of the night saying "your device is now charging". It does that a lot and oftentimes, we're in bed sleeping and not anywhere near the device. Half of the time, it scares us. My husband has talked to their customer service team and they said nothing about it. We moved it around between different plugs and it does the same thing. Still, with the device, I feel safer to go out someplace. Having the button fits into my daily life and I don’t have to make any changes or anything apart from wearing it inside my blouse. Medical Alert has been great for me thus far.

I do a lot of falling back so my kids talked me into getting a medical alert device. I wear the Medical Alert all the time and it hangs around my neck. I had to use it once to call the ambulance when I fell on the laundry and hit my head. It didn't knock me out so I was still able to push the button. My experience with the team has been good and I haven't had any problem. I'd recommend Medical Alert.

I got a Medical Alert that I put around my neck so that I can call somebody in case I fall. I tested it out and they don’t take a long time to get back to me. I’m satisfied.

I live alone and I’m 79 years old. My daughter told me to get a medical alert device because I don’t have anybody nearby. So, when I saw Medical Alert on TV, I purchased their product. I talked to them one time because I hit the device but it wasn’t an emergency and I wanted them to know that.

I'm satisfied with the Medical Alert device. I was alone and some friends thought I needed something. Now, I wear a Medical Alert. It works for me and I could call for help when I needed it.

I used to have a medical alert device that wouldn’t stop knocking through 14 hours. I then got the Medical Alert and it feels okay wearing it. It’s not too sensitive. I feel safer too. Their team is professional and courteous and we've had good interactions. I recommend Medical Alert.

My husband was in a wheelchair and he wasn’t well. So, I had to call for help and got a medical alert device. Medical Alert's response time was good when I had to use the button. I’m satisfied with Medical Alert.

I fell so many times and broke my bones, and I decided to get a medical alert device. And I feel safer with my Medical Alert device. I’m alone because I lost my husband and I’m trying to be as safe as I can. The Medical Alert team was really nice. I’m 78 years old and I have no patience with this modern stuff and they really helped me understand and they did what they could with me. I wear it around my neck, and at night, it’s hanging at the side of my head. I dropped Medical Alert, though. I got more coverage with another company and it’s costing me less than Medical Alert.

My husband is deceased and my son was feeling guilty that I was having to live by myself while he was going to places. One time, I was in my kitchen and I slipped and I didn't have anything to hold onto. I reached out to my cabinet and I slid a little bit on the floor until I managed to get around to my recliner in the family room. I was needing to go to the hall bathroom and I made it there but I spent the night on the floor in there. If I had a medical alert device then, I could have pushed the button. So my son got me a Medical Alert device even though I told him I didn't need it. I wear it under my bra yet it still feels like something is showing. I'm a little dissatisfied with it because I feel like I'm wasting my money paying for it. My kids ordered it, but they don't pay for it. Besides, I don't have emergencies and I can handle without it.

My mom is 87 and she lives alone, and even though she lives next door to us, we're not there all the time. We're afraid she would fall or have a problem and there would be nobody there to find out until the next day. We wanted her to have something where if she fell or she had some kind of a medical problem, she could call somebody that would call us right away. We looked up medical alerts with cellphones online and I read about Medical Alert. They're very helpful and they seem to be quite concerned. Mom sometimes forgets to do the test thing and they call and remind her. Everything has been good.

I’m living by myself and so I decided to get a medical alert device. I've had my Medical Alert device for three years and I have it on my neck. I’m satisfied with it until now. I pushed the button twice without noticing and the Medical Alert team was nice and very helpful.

I’ve been on medical alert service for years because I had brain surgery and I have brain trauma, and I’m a breast cancer survivor. My driver's license wasn't taken away from me, but I wasn’t sure if I could handle driving and I walk around a lot, so I got Medical Alert's travel service. I love my traveler device and I've felt safe with the wrist band and the battery. The representatives were nice but they didn’t give me any feedback. Also, I didn’t like the fact that they convinced me to get the box which I didn’t really need because I walk with the bag and the battery. So, I returned the box to them through FedEx and I gave them the tracking number for that.

My husband is home-bound and I need to have the Medical Alert device in case I fall. When I had just gotten it and tested the fall button, they responded right away. I told that rep that it was not an emergency, but they sent the ambulance out. Other than that, they're very polite and the device makes me feel safer. My husband have used it a number of times because he falls. And I used it once and went out to the ER. We’re very satisfied with Medical Alert and our experience has been absolutely super.

My daughter lives 100 miles away and I live alone with the dog. She got me a Medical Alert and pays for it. She usually calls in and checks on it too. The black necklace thing is a tell tail sign that I’ve got one on, but I’m 85 and I still have a little vanity so I'd rather have it in a gold chain or something else. I’m not as faithful of wearing it than I should be, but it’s my own way. In January, I fell and broke my wrist but I managed to get through it without using the device. Then I walked the dog for 30 minutes this morning and my condition was not up to Smith, so I should’ve had the device on. Nonetheless, I’m a Red Cross volunteer so I’m always at the hospital and I have put the Medical Alert out and mentioned about it.

I feel safer by having my Medical Alert device since I’m here alone through the day and I tend to fall easy. But I never liked to wear a necklace. It’s all right through the day but at night, I don’t like that darn thing around my neck. I’m gonna go through the wrist. But now, my son also stays here with me at night so I don’t wear it at night. I used it one time for an emergency. I hit the button and they called right away and got a hold of one of my kids. They’ve been real good to me. I've accidentally pressed it a couple of times and the response time was also good on those occasions.

I'm very satisfied with Medical Alert and I'd recommend it. I've had it for so long and I'm used to wearing it. I feel much better with having it. Also, their team has been fine and never been rude to me during the times I had to interact with them.

I'm an old lady and having Medical Alert makes me feel safer. I wear the device around my neck and keep it by my bedside all the time.

I had a stroke about a year and a half ago. I’m steady on my feet now but I got Medical Alert. I have the one on the table with the big unit. It went off and I have to test it. I feel a little safer having it.

I feel good about Medical Alert's response time. I test it and press it once a month, and I feel very secured with it now. I stay by myself and I’m getting old so I need a medical alert device for peace of mind. In case I need someone, I can get them to get somebody for me. I got a fall button and I wear it around my neck. If I fall, they can tell. I can also mash that button if I fall and it'll alert them that I need help. If they can't hear me, they would send someone.

I do not like the "fall" button. It is too large and too heavy. I fell in my yard last week. My feet slipped on a garden shed ramp. I hit my bottom, then my back, and hit my head on the door. I'm okay, except for a bruised tail bone, but the button never let out a peep. It didn't call anybody. I will be returning it and going back to my regular button that I first ordered from you. I like that one.

I'm past 93 and I'm afraid of falling. Getting a Medical Alert device has made me more confident. I contacted their team a couple of years ago. The ambulance came and everything was okay. However, I wish there was somebody I could talk to if I fell because a lot of times, I don't want an ambulance. Instead I just want somebody to help me get up. Other than that, I feel safer with the device on.

My mother has had her Medical Alert device for 10 years. She feels that the device is a nuisance around her neck as it gets tangled up sometimes, but it gives me assurance that if something happens, she could get a hold of someone. Medical Alert's reps have been friendly and helpful, and overall, Medical Alert is worth getting.

My Medical Alert device's overall functionality and the ease of the system helps. I'd recommend Medical Alert.

My husband passed away. I live 15 miles out in the country from town and that puts me by myself now. I soon will be 83 and I’m in good condition but my children were all in agreement that they would be comfortable with me living here if I had a button around my neck so I got Medical Alert, which is more for them than me. One time my cat stepped on the button and their response was right on. Their rep was very professional and very courteous. I appreciated quickness.

I live alone and one day, I fell and couldn't get up. My grandson came and took me to the hospital and since then I got a Medical Alert device. I've been wearing the button around my neck and have felt more confident with it. However, I try not to use it because the emergency team came when I had a false alarm and they told me to wear a wrist device instead. I'm very satisfied with my experience with the company.

I’m an old woman and It’s good to have the Medical Alert device. I’ve had it for 13 years and I've used the button quite a few times. I have the thing around the neck and one for the wrist. It's annoying a lot of times because the string bumps against things. So when you wanna bend over or turnover, you gotta be careful because you can strangle yourself with that rope thing. But the service is wonderful and if you call, they’re right there on time. They see that you get where you're going. It's a good thing because it doesn’t take long and they're very courteous.

I live by myself and my kids got me Medical Alert thinking I need it. I wear it around my neck even when I sleep. Their customer service team was very nice when they contacted me. I like Medical Alert and it works all right. I've told my friends all about it.

I wear the Medical Alert device around my neck, and it is fine and comfortable. I'd recommend it.

Medical Alert's service was obtained for this lady because her husband died and she was left alone. She has both the necklace and the bracelet, but she only wears the help button on her wrist and she seems to get along fine with it, but she doesn't wear the necklace that much. So far, she has only used the alert service twice. We had the wrong number at first so that confused everybody, but once we got that straightened out it worked really well and the response time of the team at Medical Alert was really good. She had fallen and then they asked her if she was okay and she said yes, so they thought she was okay. She was okay but she couldn't get up, so there was a misunderstanding. Nevertheless, she feels really secure with the Medical Alert service.

I'm getting a little older and we keep getting frightened on the TV that people fall and then can’t get up. I’m not at that stage yet and I don't have a tendency of falling, but I got a Medical Alert for security purposes. I have it on my wrist. I call Medical Alert every month to make certain that the unit is working and they’ve been all right.

I fell and my son thought it was time to get a medical alert system for me, so he got Medical Alert's service for me. Before, I wore the alert device around my neck but I didn’t like that when I was on my journey to church. So, I got the bracelet and I wear it all the time. I like that I can wear it in the water. When I tested the device, the response team at Medical Alert reached me quickly. Also, my son comes and checks the device once in a while. I’ve had Medical Alert for a year or two and so far, my experience with them has been simple. But the price is a little too high. I had paid $400 and the fee was $79 a year. Then they billed me $60 for the tax and I paid them, so they should’ve paid for the tax.

Ambulance arrived promptly. Ambulance personnel were very helpful. The only problem (major) was that I was alone and the ambulance personnel did not have the code (**) to the lock box on the front door. I was already in pain, but had to get up and let them in.

I’m on oxygen 24/7 and I've been using my Medical Alert device for two years and everything’s been great. I wear my device hanging around my neck. There was one time I laid it on the bed and I must’ve done it hard and it went out. And I thought it was sensitive.

I've fallen in the house and got a medical alert device. And I feel very lucky having the Medical Alert device with me. I wear it around my neck and it does pretty good. It’s better because with the other one I had before, the battery went dead. And the Medical Alert representatives do very well. The response time was very good when I tested it.

It's my second year with Medical Alert and I'm glad I have the device. I have dementia and I have a hard time, so I wanted to have something just in case something happened. I wear the device around my neck. When I pressed the button, the response was very good and they were here right away. Medical Alert is excellent.

My husband died. I live by myself and I have Parkinson’s disease. I got the Medical Alert device and I wear it on my neck. I tested it to make sure it works and they responded quickly. They were professional as well.

I live alone and I’ve had Medical Alert device for a while now. I feel good having it. It’s always on my neck and at night, I put it close to me right in my little nightstand. Everyone I spoke to from Medical Alert was good and when I had to go to the ER twice, the team responded fast when I pushed the button. So far, the device is working well.

I have Primary lateral sclerosis and having a Medical Alert device gave me a sense of security. I've had it for about four years now and it has worked. I've gotten used to the pendant around my neck. The response time was also good when I pressed it accidentally. The only thing is the price is going up.

Medical Alert has been very helpful. I’ve had to use my device twice, and they have showed concern for what was going on with me and got me the help I needed immediately. I’ve been very pleased with everything they’ve done. I feel a lot safer since I’ve had Medical Alert. When I first got it, I think it was ridiculous. I got it because my children wanted me to have it since I run up and down the interstate all the time.

My Medical Alert device has performed alright so far. I've talked to their reps and they have been cooperative. I fell out of my bed and then I couldn’t get out of bed, so I called and told them I wasn't in danger. But they called my son and he came down and got me out. It wasn’t very long that they responded. I wear it around my neck all the time and it gives me a little reassurance.

I live alone so I got a Medical Alert which I wear around my neck. It would come in handy if I would fall. Their reps were quick to respond when I tested it. So far, I’m satisfied with it.

I got this machine almost five years ago and it’s really helped me out. I accidentally pushed the button a few times and the Madison Township squad has been really nice to us. I was down in my neighbor’s once and I had that necklace around my neck. I guess I pushed it because when I went downstairs with all my friends, the manager and squad people came. They were asking for me and I asked what they were here for. They asked me if I pushed the button and I said I didn't know. They called my friend and got him up here. I was told to go back inside so I did. He asked if I was okay and I said yes. He asked if I fell and I said no. It scared him and me.

My experience with Medical Alert has been okay. I decided to get the device because I live alone and I have a bunch of stairs to go up and down. I was afraid that I might fall some time going up and down the stairs and no one would know. I wear the device on my wrist and I don’t like it. I also don’t want to wear it around my neck as it's uncomfortable. Furthermore, I am not satisfied with the medical alert system and I can get a cheaper one than what I have now. I am on a fixed income, so I’m thinking about changing.

We’re getting up in age and our kids thought that we needed to have a Medical Alert in case something happened because they don’t live nearby. Everybody is happy that we have it. We just don’t think about it because it’s there. The only complaint I have is that I got my bank statement and there was $60 that was charged from Medical Alert. After I saw that on the bank statement, I got a notice from Medical Alert saying, “Thank you for choosing the insurance on the equipment.” We weren’t informed that they were gonna be adding insurance on it. Nonetheless, we’re doing fine. They respond very quickly whenever we test it.

I've had a Medical Alert button for three years and it works fine. I was falling quite a bit but since having the device, I feel safer. I've used it a couple of times and the emergency response people were very kind. They were also right here pretty quickly. I wear my Medical Alert button around my neck and it's pretty comfortable.

My children wanted me to have a Medical Alert and I've had mine for years. I wear it around my neck and sometimes it's a pain when something hangs on your neck. But the device is good and I've not had any problems with the reps I've spoken with. I have recommended it to people.

I have been trying to get a refund from Medical Alert for almost 6 weeks for a system that would not work. On May 9th I contacted the Medical Alert company by telephone to ask about their Medical Alert Systems for my mother-in-law. On that date I visited with a salesperson about the various systems and charges and advised them at that time that my mother-in-law did not have a landline or a smartphone, but she did have a cell phone and that she lived in a remote rural area so I was concerned about having good service. After giving the salesperson her address I was advised that yes they had service in that area. So I ordered the Mobile Elite System AND PAID $204.00 UP FRONT FOR 6 MONTHS SERVICE for this system.

I had a pacemaker put in on my stomach so I decided to get a Medical Alert which I have around my neck. I check it every now and then, and I feel good about their response. It has been a fine experience, so far.

I’m 73 years old and in case I fall, my Medical Alert device is a good thing to have. I wear my button around my neck and it’s comfortable. Overall, Medical Alert has been very good.

I've been using Medical Alert for over a year now. My daughter said that I should have it. I had accidentally set it off and they were very good.

I live alone and I’ve been with my Medical Alert device for a few years. I wear it around my neck and I'm fine with it. Lately it’s been taking a while for somebody to respond, but they’ve been responding. Also, it was ringing by itself but it's been okay now.

I'm alone, I fall and I get dizzy a lot, and having Medical Alert has changed my sense of security. I wear it around my neck and I've used it quite a bit. Their responses were great and they were very efficient and kind.

I wear my Medical Alert device over my neck, and it’s comfortable. It is nice and safe, too. I have called emergencies on this, and the Medical Alert team responded really well.

Having a Medical Alert at 95 is very comforting knowing that I have it. I test it every month. When I call 800-332-8570 to put it on test mode, it beeps and then it says, “Putting your account on test” for 15 minutes. They respond quickly and it was painless.

I’ve had no problem with what is on my bracelet and when I needed to add something to my bracelet they have been very good about the addition. When I need to order a new bracelet they are very helpful.

I have had no problems with this device you submitted. It works well, the service is there if I need it, and I feel protected. When I need help we call your service department and they can answer questions we may have.

I was having difficulty with getting a response to my testing. After talking with customer service and technical support the issue was resolved very quickly I have been very pleased with my service since starting with medical alert. Thank you for being there for me.

There are no complaints from this customer. You have always been there when needed. Everyone should be so lucky as to have a company of your stature on their side. Keep up your good work. Thank you for all you do.

This is a great idea to have a fall button. The one problem is that when it is worn and a person sits down into an easy chair it is so sensitive that it rings back to the company. This has happened twice here. Once the Medics showed and it really wasn't that of an emergency it was that the button off while party. Was in the easy chair not an actual fall. Otherwise very good system all around.

Accidentally dropped it as I went to hang it up & bang, you were right there to see if I was OK! I could not have called you any faster than you reacted! I will definitely recommend this to my friends!

Medical Alert contacted me resolving the issue with the fall button which was returned. I was refunded and happy that customer service will be addressed concerning this issue. I didn't leave Medical Alert over this because of all the wonderful reviews on this site. I feel the issue causing this drawn out affair will be addressed by company management. I must state I have never had a concern of my mothers safety with her current button. Actually it went off once and everyone including me was notified in a very quick and proffesional manner. Thankfully it was a false alarm. We have suggested Medical Alert to another family member who also has their service. I thank Suzie from Medical Alert for handling this manner so quickly and proffesionally.

My son thought we needed the Medical Alert and he got it for us. We had two of them and my wife passed, so he sent one back. The alert is comfortable if I put it on and doesn’t bother me. I haven’t had to use it but it got bumped sometimes and it worked that time. I was right here in the house and as soon as I got the telephone or to the box, I told them that it was not an emergency and I turned it off. I would recommend Medical Alert.

I'm by myself and my kids wanted me to have an emergency button. I fell before and broke my foot at my other house. I didn't have my Medical Alert back then and my husband was really sick. So, I thought I better get one. Now, I have both the necklace and the wristband. I also have the thing with a combination on my door as well. It hooks onto my door and it has a key in it. It's there because if I fall, I can't get to the door to let the Medical Alert personnel in. While I'm still scared sometimes, I've felt safer since having Medical Alert.

I'm passing 89 and I live alone. I have my Medical Alert button in the apartment if I need it. I used it some time ago and it was very satisfactory. Their customer service was very responsive. Also, I check it every month and their response time is fine. The only thing that sticks out is the aggressive campaign that they run. I don't like the number of phone calls I get trying to get me to buy it. Their call system does not keep track of their customers and I get about a call a day. Other than that, it seems to be there when I need it.

Before I got the Medical Alert device, I have fallen twice already and I could not get up. I signed up in the beginning and then somebody added some insurance to it. I’ve tried to eliminate, but they did not do it. I got charged $60 for the use of my card, and I said never are they going to use my card again without my permission. I’m buying it annually so I could keep it down to about $30 a month. I’ve got the device on my walker, which is beside my recliner. I don't wear it because it irritates me. I have a lot of allergies and a very sensitive skin.

I had the Medical Alert for quite a while. But, the one I got now, the new one, is very good. I go outside and fall and I could get help even there. I don’t have to be right by my machine in here that tells me what to do. I wear it around my neck and I get false alarm sometimes when my dog jumps up on my chest and pushed my button. But, it makes me pretty good because Medical Alert responds right away, within five or 10 minutes. They had told me the ambulance and paramedics were on the way. You can’t beat that. I would tell anybody that Medical Alert is the best thing you’re gonna have with you. People should have it with them at all times. You got something on you that will give you help. I used it two to three times and the fire department was right there at my door.

I had fallen a couple times and there was nobody here for help. Because of that, I decided I needed something in case that happened again. Then I got a Medical Alert and with it, at least I know now that if I need help, all I got to do is push the button, which has happened since, and they responded in five minutes. I thought it might have been sooner.

The person in my care is 90 years old. He has bilateral neuropathy and he's a diabetic. We got him a Medical Alert device before he got in such bad shape but now he has 24/7 care. He always wears the device around his neck.

I live alone and I needed somebody to contact if I fall. Since getting my Medical Alert, I've worn the button 24/7. At times, I push the button and their rep comes on and says "emergency emergency". But then I tell the rep that it's not an emergency but a test. Still, I feel good about their response time and I'm satisfied with Medical Alert.

I'm living by myself and I have fallen twice already. I used my Medical Alert one time and I was very pleased with the local fire department. Their response time has been wonderful. As a matter of fact, they got here just about as fast as my neighbor from across the street did. I live in a small little town, and I’m not but about four blocks from the fire station. I fell outside coming out of my garage and I was face down on the ground and they came. Two got on my feet and two guys at my shoulders. And I told them that was the first out of body experience I’ve ever had when they picked me up. I’m a happy camper. I’m happy with everything about mine.

I have pressed my Medical Alert by accident and their response time was wonderful. I work at the hospital, so I’m usually around plenty of emergency people, but I still got the device just in case. It makes me more confident and not worried. It is convenient and I feel protected.

I'm gonna be 90 while my wife is going to be 94 and I take care of her now. I got the Medical Alert device about six months ago and I've been very satisfied with it. It worked well. I’ve used it one time, then a lot of times when I hit the button accidentally, they came on and asked if everything was all right. Their reps have been really nice too.

I'm 71 years old, I live alone and I live in a strange neighborhood. Sometimes I'm in area or I'm at a point where I need help in case I do need help. I've used Medical Alert one time on my friend who has fell down and they had to call an ambulance. He didn't have his phone, and I didn't have my phone. But I keep it 'cause I do school walk, if I was walking there. And I go to different places and at least I wanna have something there. I like the service. I just hope I don't have to use it. I check my service every month and the response time has been 5-10 minutes, depending on where the ambulances were located.

When we tried to cancel the service that my mom had. It was a nightmare. Good luck ever getting someone on the phone, they almost never answer. After we sent the equipment back they still charged her for the following month. After multiple phone calls and the occasional live person to speak with, it took almost 3 months to get a refund and then they only refunded her for one month of service. Previously they called her and sold her a lock box for an additional monthly fee of $20, she had no idea what she was agreeing to and the name on the contract is my sister's, not her's. They had no business calling her and trying to sell her any additional services. That's elder abuse. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

I got a medical alert service because of my health, I had been in a coma, being at home by myself and just for emergencies. You never know. I usually keep it on my wrist. Medical Alert calls and asks me if I have been testing my system and I tell them I’m gonna do it. It makes me feel better. At least I know I can push the button if I have to.

My daughter wanted me to get a Medical Alert device. I have to test it every month. I call, they ask me if anything's wrong and I say, "No, I'm just testing my system up." The response time is good and the reps have been terrific.

I'm seriously considering dropping my Medical Alert. I don't use it and I can call 911 myself. I thought that Medical Alert or the other companies have their own team of ambulances. Instead, using the device has become a hassle. I pressed the button and their team called 911. Thereafter, 911 billed Medical Alert who then billed me. I have insurance for ambulance service, so then I have to fill out papers. Still, it will be much simpler for 911 to bill Blue Cross. Furthermore, I had instances of being scared while using the device. All of a sudden, the voice box talks and I think "who the hell is in the house?" Also, some of their people are not all that sure of their job. Nevertheless, they are nice people.

I lost my thing around my neck from Medical Alert. I've asked them to send me another one. However, that was a couple of weeks ago and I haven't received anything. Having the medical alert device makes it easier for me to get a hold of someone. I would just press the emergency number. I used to wear it all the time, even when I take a bath or shower.

I have a grandson who lives where I am and my kids decided I needed a medical alert device. The device is a necklace that I wear. With it, I know somebody's around if I need them. I'm definitely satisfied with it.

My mother and I called separately and were told to return the unit to cancel service. We did that. After waiting for a $150 refund, I called and they told me that I needed to request a refund after the unit was returned-otherwise no refund is processed. They of course did not tell us that we needed to call when they gave instructions regarding return. 45 days later, still no refund. I called again, was on hold for almost 30 minutes and was told we would get a refund in 72 hours... we will see. I am sure that most people pass away or the families are busy with a host of other medical issues when the units are returned & don't pursue refunds. I imagine they keep millions of dollars by these practices. It should be criminal!!!

The light on the base of my Medical Alert kept coming on all the time. I wore it around my neck and I wore the button next to my body. I called and their rep sent me another one. But this one is really sensitive. It is supposed to be worn on the outside and it is forever coming on, so I'm just afraid to wear it. I liked that when I went to church with the other one I could just stick it in my bra. But this one, I would be scared to death to do that because it would just cut loose.

Somebody called me on the telephone about four years ago about Medical Alert and we bought it. My wife and I were both unstable but I’m by myself now since my wife passed away in February. They gave me a good price and I pay $35 a month. I have the Medical Alert here at the house next to my telephone and next to the restroom so in case I fall down, I can reach up there and take it. So far, I haven’t had any emergencies but my balance is not the best so that could very well be in the future. A young guy called me here three weeks ago and he said they’re gonna call back and I didn’t know where that envelope was with that update, but I’ve got it right here, right now so I’m waiting for him to call me back. Their people are nice and very pleasant to talk to.

I have a Medical Alert for over three years now and it’s fine. I am not able to walk on my own. I’m getting over surgery and I fall. I've used the Medical Alert many times and it's very good. They respond to me in 10 minutes. When they call me, they ask me how I’m doing. I should also check on the system every once in a while so they know I’m connected. The only thing is that it’s extra if I want the alert system to work outside.

I have asthma, high blood pressure and I’m a diabetic. I don't have toes at all on my left side of my foot and on my right I’ve got three. I live by myself and I cannot drive myself anywhere so I got a Medical Alert. I get help more faster. I have the little wristband and the one put on my neck so if I fall I can get in touch with the emergency wagon. I feel safer with it.

If my father would fall, I would worry that he would not be able to get up. But now that he has the Medical Alert device, I feel better. He wears it around his neck and still has it on at night. He pushed the button one time and nothing happened. It was disconnected or something happened and he was not able to reach anybody at the time. So, he was on the floor until the caregiver came in in the morning. But as far as I know, that issue has been resolved. I would recommend Medical Alert.

I dropped the Medical Alert device on the floor the other day and it works. I accidentally dropped it, I got a response for it and I was satisfied with the response time. However, I don’t like having to take it off when I go to bed at night. When I had my old one, I can leave it on all the time. But this one, the instruction says take it off when you go to bed. That’s the only negative part of it. I’m happy with it and I’d recommend it.

I called up Medical Alert and ordered one. I sent back the new one they tried to send me with the fall detection but I still have the previous model. The Medical Alert people are fine when I call them but they're pushy when they call me. Other than that, I have the Medical Alert when I’m alone and I feel safer.

I got Medical Alert for my own peace of mind and my family’s as well and I’ve had it for five years. When I accidentally pushed the button, the alarm went off so I stopped what I was doing to turn it off. I wear it around my neck and I know that help is always there so I don’t worry. I'm just happy that I have it and I would advise anyone who is alone to have one.

I do a lot of walking on my own and my sister doesn't like that. I fell one time and she's afraid that I might fall again and be alone when that happens, so she got me a Medical Alert device. The button works fine for me and we're satisfied with it. My sister also tests it and so far, we have no problems.

My husband had died and he had a medical alert device which wasn't updated. He had the machine and it wasn't anything that he could ever use. Fortunately, he did have an aide who would take him out. But a few times, he didn't make it into the house. He had a walker in the house too and then he just fell a few times. So, we didn't think that machine worked very well. When he passed away, I thought about getting a medical alert device as I wasn't getting younger.

I’m getting older. I’m 85 now and my daughter said that I should have some security, so she got me a Medical Alert. I'm using it around my neck and it's comfortable. I keep it under my shirt and I know that I have it available. I’m satisfied with it.

I started service recently, with fall detection. From my home, test three times, first the call rang then shut off. 2nd it went thru & I told operator I was testing. Tried later third time and it rang then again disconnected. Next day I test it at my place of work a mile away, same results. 1 time the call went through and it worked, the other two times it rang and said it was finding my locations, then disconnected. Their network leaves me in life risk, I just had 3 mini strokes in the last week. Their equipment will not keep retrying, if you get serious sick, you have to be fully alert and remember to keep trying the button, see if it works, if not, move to another location try again, etc etc, UNTIL YOU GET THRU OR YOU ARE DEAD.

I fall a lot and my daughter thought it would be a very good idea to get a Medical Alert device. I’ve been very happy with them until they brought out this fall button for if you fall, it automatically gives an alert thing. I called them. I think they need to work it out a little better before they put it on market. The girl that talked to me into getting it didn’t give me instructions well or how. They said we have to wait a minute for it to take effect. I fell hard and it did not go off. This morning, I just barely test it on my phone and it went off. I don’t know how many times I had false calls because it’s very sensitive. So I’m not really happy with that.

My children live away from me, and I don’t have anybody around here, only friends. I live alone, and my children wanted to make sure that I have something 'cause I could fall. I'm 92 years old, and I'm doing the best I can. And I fell a couple years ago. I now have a Medical Alert and I wear it around my neck every day. I feel very comfortable with it and I'd recommend it. It's a good thing especially for people who live alone. It gives people a little bit of security and makes them feel better when they go to sleep at night.

I have my Medical Alert for about seven years now. I have the necklace that goes around my neck and it would pick up anywhere I am if I fell. The one that I had before would just reach out so far. I'm very happy and content with my device. One time, I used it when I was outside. I brought it out to the mailbox and coming back, I slipped and fell. My son was here and the Medical Alert team called an ambulance. They came and I was okay. I wasn’t hurt. I liked how Medical Alert responded and I would recommend them to any elderly person that has to be at home by themselves.

I have Medical Alert and when I needed their service, I talked to somebody on the speaker and they sent people out in 10 to 15 minutes. However, they didn't wanna take blame for when my Medical Alert wasn't working and I explained it to them. I spoke to a lady and she said she would credit me for it and that I would only have to pay $60 a month. I also explained to her that I do not want them all billing me for different things as I'm getting about 5 bills a month for different stuff. I don't want my bill like that and I want it all in one. She said, "Okay," but they called for some money, about $85. I asked what was going on and they don't want to acknowledge what I'm saying. What I want them to do is for me to send it back because I get tired of them calling me every day about the Medical Alert. Now, I don't want the Medical Alert and I want to go with another company.

I thank the Medical Alert service because it helps me good. I'm alone a lot because my husband works and goes out, and I got people but they're also doing other things. I like the Medical Alert very much and someone is always available if I need anybody. It's really good service and everything is going wonderful.

My husband was in the nursing home so I was left alone. I got a Medical Alert and it seems to be all right so I would keep it. And we haven't had any trouble with them. Now, I just found out that I have cancer and so my husband can use it.

I live alone, have had a stroke and only have a leg and an arm, and I fall down a lot once in a while. And having Medical Alert makes me feel a little bit safer. I had used the push button once a month and it worked. But one of the parts fell out and I talked to a guy from Medical Alert and he sent me a whole new button that I could wear around the neck and it was automatic. But I couldn't hook it up myself and it didn't work. Also, I got a friend on Medical Alert and their rep said I was gonna get a check, but I never got it. Other than that, Medical Alert is a winner.

I've had good experience with Medical Alert and I've been recommending it to some friends. I've had used it several times and I got help right quick. My interactions with the Medical Alert team have been fine. It's around my neck all the time and I feel safer.

I did some research on the internet and the price of Medical Alert was very reasonable. Plus, I like the interaction that I had with their team right from the beginning. It was very easy to e-mail them and get good quality information without having to spend a lot of time on the phone. The Medical Alert was mostly for my mother's husband broke his hip in December of 2016 and we purchased it in anticipation of him coming home. But, unfortunately, that didn’t work out. And now, although my mother is still independent and doing very well, she is here alone so we’re glad to have it. I live right next door to her but I go to work and she is home alone most evenings and nights. So, it’s a comfort to know that she has it and I feel better when I go to work.

I have Medical Alert and it was perfect in the few times that I've used it. The service was A1 and I'm very pleased with the choice I made.

I had the Medical Alert on my wrist for two years, but it's only been one time that I had to call and use it. It's my first medical alert service and I got it because I live alone and it's like having someone here to help me.

As I get older, I thought it might be possible that I should have something. So, I got the Medical Alert. The company itself is okay but I had a problem with the thing I wear around my neck. I pushed the button to test it and it said to call them if the test failed. When I tried to do that, it got the paramedics out here by mistake and I was embarrassed. Medical Alert's reps were nice though and I don't have any complaints. They said they were gonna send me a new button and right now, I'm waiting for it to come.

I’m 92 years old and I live alone. Also, I had fallen. It was not enough to injure myself, but enough to warn me that it might happen later, so I got the Medical Alert. I talked to a lady who added something on to the thing and she was very nice. I got the device around my neck and I haven’t had any trouble with it. My daughter comes in occasionally and she tested it three times. As far as I know on how it was supposed to work, their response time was very good.

I read up on several medical alert services and I picked Medical Alert. I used the device when I fell in the garage and their response time was fine. The one who came to get me couldn't find the door. He went to the east side of my house and there's no door but if he had just looked when he drove into the drive, he would have seen me lying in the garage at his way out but he didn't. But anyway, that was all right and he found me. So, the device works fine.

With my age mainly and if I fall, I need something for help, so I have a Medical Alert device. It’s a bracelet, not a necklace. I like it and I don’t like something flapping around my neck. I keep it on my wrist day and night, and I hardly remember that it’s there. I’m supposed to have it checked every month and I had the reps call once to check it. As far as I know, it’s working fine.

I live alone, and I garden a lot. I've got a hillside and I don’t wanna be up there on the hillside, and fall and break my leg. I then got a Medical Alert device. My kids are pretty close to me, and they come every day or every other day, but I could still be lying up there for 40 hours. I take the device off when I go somewhere 'cause I don’t want the string hanging around my neck. I've had also pressed the device accidentally when I was gardening, but that was the only time.

I’ve had wonderful experience with Medical Alert. I’ve had to use my device a couple of times and they came right away. I wear my device around my neck all the time even when I’m taking a shower, and I feel safer. But when I’m putting my clothes in the dryer or the washer, I bump it and it rings. The string is long and I had to try to tie it in a knot, but it’s all right. I recommended Medical Alert to one of my friends and so, she got one and she started wearing it, but she’d take it off when she takes a shower. And I said, “Oh. Please, Mabel. Don’t ever take that off. It’s waterproof. And what if you fell in the shower?” Medical Alert is good the way it is.

My experience with Medical Alert has been positive. I went with them because I was accustomed to hearing some of my friends and people discussing it and I thought that when you are alone, you would need an extra friend and Medical Alert was the friend. I always kept it within reaching distance. However, since I moved to a condominium with someone on call 24 hours downstairs on the desk because it is a senior residence, I don't have the device any longer. Nevertheless, having it sort of takes away a feeling of being alone. I was satisfied, and I'd recommend them.

Medical Alert is a very good thing to have and it could be lifesaving. I have the one in the pocket and the one I have on a necklace. While my day-to-day difficulties include falling, I feel more confident now that I have Medical Alert. I've had pleasant interactions with their team and I’m very satisfied with the experience with the button.

I'm getting older and I just decided to get a Medical Alert device for safety purposes. I've been using it for 10 years and I'm very satisfied. I feel very secured with it. I've used it four times and the team came very fast. I recommended Medical Alert to two people.

I got a Medical Alert device to be safe, so I would have a button to press if I fell and their team was very nice to me when I spoke with them.

I live alone so I decided to get a Medical Alert and I've had it for 11 years now. Anyone I've spoken to has been very helpful and nice. And their response time was very good. So far, I feel as safe as I did the first day and I have neighbors and friends to take care of me. But if I ever do need it, I can just push the button and I will be able to talk to somebody. However, I have a lot of issues with the new one. It's made out of Velcro and it sticks, it's not good. The other ones, I wear it around my wrist because I'm allergic to the one around my neck. And this Velcro keeps tearing apart and it's not half as good as the imitation leather was. Other than that, everything is fine.

I'm 82 years old and I have trouble with my legs and I could fall very easily so I got a MedicAlert. But I have a Medical Alert now which is $84.50 a month and it's much more expensive because the other one was $170 for six months. But Medical Alert is better because I have a fall system on this one. It has a pendant that has a fall sensor and a GPS. So, if I'm wearing it and I fall somewhere outside, somebody will come get me. I wore the bracelet all the time in the house because I'm by myself most of the time. In fact, I catch myself leaving the house with it still on my wrist and going places and it's not gonna work on that far distance but it's like wearing a wristwatch. You don't realize it's even there. What bothers me the worst is when I go take a shower in my old-fashioned tub, I feel insecure. But with this on my wrist, I feel much better.

I'm 89 years old and I'm not very strong. I'm using Medical Alert and it's comfortable. I wear it around my neck all the time. I put it on my neck in case I fall. The one that's mounted on the wall fell out of the wall but I had it taped back. When the hurricane came, the electricity stopped and everything went crazy. I tried to get a hold of somebody because the device was buzzing off. I also told them not to send somebody out. The person I talked with was a young man and he was very polite and nice. It worked out all right. I've recommended lots of times Medical Alert to others but they don't get it. I guess Medical Alert is expensive. But Medical Alert is really good. They're keeping up on all the things I need to hold on to.

My Medical Alert has worked very good for me. I have used it twice already since getting it last October. I got a walker given to me by the veterans and it has four wheels and brakes on the rear wheels and it folds up and I can sit down on it. If I turn around, stop it, I can sit down a little on its armrest. It is made from Carbon, so it's not even metal. I can get a hold of both sides and pick the thing straight up in the air. That's how wide it is.

Several years ago, I fell in the yard and I called my daughter and she said she couldn't get here for half an hour and the neighbors that were on my list weren't home. Medical Alert responded right away. Within 25 minutes, the fire department was here and I was on my way to the hospital. I live alone and the device is really worth it. I’ve only had to use it once but it’s giving me so much confidence. I wear it around my neck and I wear it all the time, night and day. I've worn it so long I don't even know that's in there. And I live in the country and I have a yard, and it gives me the confidence that I can go outside. I have recommended Medical Alert to people. I told to somebody the experience I had of getting help so quickly, and she has the device now. So, I felt pretty good about that 'cause just like I told her, I was recommending something that I had used and I knew it worked.

It is important especially for older people to have the Medical Alert device available to them. I was 88 years old when I got mine. I had both of my knees replaced at the same time, and my son-in-law and daughter insisted I have one. They set it up 10 years ago and for a long time, it had worked fine. I checked in periodically like the Medical Alert team had suggested that I do. But in the last six months, it seemed that there were more problems.

NEVER ENDING ROBO CALLS. I am really sure that these MEDICAL ALERT SYSTEMS robo calls are out to RIP OFF MEDICARE and nothing else. Yes they have been reported to federal and state no call programs with NO RESULT!

A few years ago, I fell and so my son and daughter decided that I should have a Medical Alert device. I don’t wear it now since I’ve been doing well but if I need it, I have one in my bedroom. It’s very good that I can fall back on it in case something happens. I have neighbors here that could use it. I don’t know if they have it but I could ask and find out and then tell them about it.

I bought a Medical Alert device after I had a stroke. I have one on my wrist and another around my neck, and I feel very confident. Once in a while, their team would check on me too and my interactions with them have been fine.

I live in this little town all by myself, so I thought a medical alert would be a good idea. I have Medical Alert and it's comfortable to know that they're there. I used it once and they responded in a matter of minutes. They contacted the ambulance and I was at the hospital real fast.

My mom's happy with her Medical Alert. She had a fall in January where she broke her wrist and it came in handy. Their response seemed pretty quick. I heard her yell and when I looked out the window, there was an ambulance here. They were here in 10 minutes if not sooner. I got her the device for her safety when I'm working and she feels a little safer using it. She also has peace of mind. She wears a pendant around her neck pretty much 24/7 and she's getting used to wearing oxygen with it. I have recommended Medical Alert to other people.

I am living alone and I got myself a Medical Alert device. Everything is okay and my experience with Medical Alert has been fine.

Medical Alert is excellent. Betty had about six strokes and that was why we got the button. We've had this probably in the ‘90s. She is also handicapped and her age was a factor as well. She usually wears the button around her neck. Last time they sent a button and they warned us to not have her wear it around her neck so low that it would swing. They told her to wear it inside her clothes instead. They also didn’t want her to wear it in bed because it would be tangled up. Other than that, Betty has fallen a few times and the team has been doing their job. They are polite and nice too.

I wear it when I shower in the morning, and then I hang it up somewhere because the string gets wet. I also usually have it around on the coffee table or somewhere like that where I can get to it. And then, at night I don’t wear it around my neck but I hang it right by my bed. I haven't had to use it myself but Medical Alert calls right away as soon as they get a signal. I got one for my daughter and it has been useful for her. I was gonna wait for her birthday, but I decided to give it to her right away. She fell one day, she had the thing around her neck and she pushed the button, then the paramedics came. Then she fell again the next day.

I've had the same Medical Alert device all the time. My daughter got it for me 10 years ago. She thought it would be good for me to have it. I wear it around my neck and I don't take it off. I live by myself and I've not had to use my device very much, but it's really good. I have the fall one too that if I fall or bump it really hard, it calls them. One time, I slid off a stool in the kitchen. I couldn’t get up and I just pushed it, and they came out and got me. I have something I can use if I need it and it's great.

I'm 96 years old and I live by myself all day. My son's here every night and thought I needed a Medical Alert during the day. Their reps were really good. They explained everything and I'm happy with it. I have used it once when I had trouble with the cold weather. The ambulance came after me and I went to the hospital. So far, the service has been doing fine. I'd tell my friends that they better get a Medical Alert too for safety. The cost seems to be fine and there's nobody to bug me. I just use it when I need it.

I live by myself and my children told me that I should get a Medical Alert. I wear the bracelet sometimes but I mostly wear the necklace. They were really good to me and I would recommend them. I would tell my friends to get a Medical Alert if they live by themselves and if their family is so far away to have somebody to help them. If they need help right away, they just push the button and the machine comes on, and they'd get help right away.

I live alone and my children were concerned so I needed a Medical Alert device. It’s around my neck and it’s fine. It’s a good thing to have if you need it and I would recommend it.

I had a head surgery and my lungs filled with fluid. They sent me home and I passed out one day. I live alone and my son had Medical Alert installed in my house. He said he wanted me to use it if I don't feel good because he was concerned. He has passed away but I felt that I might as well keep it. I continued with it and I've used it several times accidentally. Most of the time that it happened, I didn't realize that I had pushed it. But the response time was fine and they were very good. It feels very secure that I have it. I know that if I were to need it, they would respond quickly and I'm sure that would be of a great help. As soon as you don't answer that, they send everybody out. I've had police and paramedics.

The Medical Alert is fine. I either wear it around my neck or else, I'll put it in my pocket. A couple of times, I pressed it by accident. And they responded right away--within 10 seconds. Everybody at Medical Alert is friendly too.

Somebody gave me a Medical Alert and it makes me feel pretty safe.

My husband has the Medial Alert device for many years and he said it's good. He likes it and if I got out, he wears it around his neck.

I live alone. My son and daughter-in-law live fairly close but not where they can be here real quick. So, they got me a Medical Alert and it makes me feel a lot more secure. My experience with it has been marvelous and I would recommend it to anybody. I was sleeping in it and I read recently where I should not sleep in it because there was a possibility of choking. I still automatically leave it on, day and night, and I haven't had a problem with it. I can understand why there is a possibility of choking, but I'm not really in a position to where I'm totally flat since I've been sleeping on a recliner for several years now.
