Medical Care Alert Reviews

It could save my life in an unexpected emergency. I live alone and virtually have no visitors. I live with my 3 dogs who of course would not be able to help me. I like the idea of the added security of the alert tag that I could wear.

There is no professional installation offered neither is it available even at a cost. Also no dedicated agents are available to answer questions or complaints which is frustrating when you don't know an answer or just have a question about the product or service. It would be assuring to speak to a competent agent when you have questions.

Installed Medical Care Alert in May of this year. Seamless setup, helpful staff, clear quick emergency response (~30 sec) during testing, speaker / microphone is clear and can be heard over most of house. The wrist and necklace buttons work over entire house and most of property.

Really feel scammed when equipment returned. Returned as instructed with no damage. Company claimed damage and provided pictures that could have been any equipment. Nothing included identifying as our equipment. Company made ridiculous statements and so not only did not return pro-rated fee but charged my card additional $120. Horrible customer service. Beware!

I have the Home & Away Elite system with fall detection. My family and friends are all very relieved that I chose this system because I am often away from home by myself, and am now alone at home. While my history of falling includes some while away from home, the majority and the most physically damaging have occurred at home and during the night. I have Narcolepsy (including sleep-walking), Sleep Apnea and other medical conditions that can increase the likelihood of falling. Add my elderly age of 74, a "bad" knee and "bad" ankle. Stumbling has become part of my "normal" routine.

It is uncomfortable wearing around the neck. If I attach it to my jeans pocket, anytime I bump into anything it sends off a signal. If I wear it inside my bra strap it works better but I am afraid I am getting too much radiation into my body!

It became necessary for my father to live alone and we were concerned for his safety -- after reading about the many medical alert systems available, we chose Medical Care Alert. I like the fact that with Medical Care Alert, the voice of the assister can be heard not only through the base unit, but also through the pendant so the wearer can also be covered while out in the yard. We've received low battery alerts from the company, greatly appreciated, and help with replacing the batteries; we've also done periodic system checks with them, which they recommend, to make sure everything is working properly.

My 94-yr old mother had her Medical Care Alert bracelet on the bedside table, and the pendant hanging from her walker. She was sound asleep and was awakened by a policeman and rescue squad in her bedroom! I called Medical Care Alert the next day and was assured that it was a button push and NOT a malfunction. My mother insists she did NOT hit the button. I had neglected to program in the Medical Care # so when I got the 800 "unknown" call at midnight, I did not answer it. So it was a comedy of errors. However, my mother now wants to cancel the system saying she doesn't trust it.

Seems like it took a little long before I got a response. After I hung up, I got a constant loud beeping. Finally pushed the red button to stop it. Called customer service. Wish there was a volume control.

Our experience was very positive. The medical professionals were extremely kind and caring with every aspect of the event. They were very supportive reminding the whole family they are here for us anytime they are needed. They were very special individuals. We were left feeling my husband would be treated very well and most importantly, with kindness. I appreciate the fast response and wonderful personnel. Thank you!!
