Since I purchased Medical Alert, everything has been good! It really helps a person like me, who suffers with balance problems. Overall, it's been a good experience.

Using it has not been hard. I got a system for the house and for when I go outside, and so far it's been fine. Haven't had a trouble so far.

One of our units failed and I was not impressed with their customer service at first. After that, everything seemed to get better. Although my Parkinson's disease makes me clumsy, it really isn't hard to use the system.

I like the service. I don't know how to put it, it just relaxes the mind and gives you comfort to know you'll be protected in case something happens. Although I haven't had an experience with it yet, the service has been great!

Their customer service was okay. I don't know what systems there are but I got the bracelet because I fall a lot. I haven't had a bad experience so far. Overall, a satisfactory service.

My children think I'm too old to be by myself so they got it for me as a gift. The device is definitely comfortable, however, I do have to say that I've had some payment issues with them. Besides, their customer service is not the best.

I'm an elderly person and live alone, so I thought this service would be very helpful. I've had to use it in a few occasions and had a few false alarms as well, but everything has been satisfactory so far.

My family thought I should have it after I had a severe accident. I liked it up until this year; they charged me a year worth of service in a matter of days without letting me know. I am now debating whether I will renew it next year or not.

On 6-4-21 Medical Alert took $134.84 out of my acct. for 3 months service. I returned necklace sent it back and received a bracelet instead. They billed me another$104.85 in July 27th. I called-they corrected the problem in August 3rd. In September on or about September 6th they billed me $119.85 I guessed for another 3 months service. But September 13th Medical Alert took another $104.85 from my account? I am furious because I am on Social Security? I cannot afford for them to deduct unknown charges from my account. Further my bank charged me for a transaction requiry? Tommorrow I will call them. I expect for them to correct my account immediately. I am trying to give them my business, but if they continue, I will alert the Better Business Bureau; ABC news; NBC news;CBS news (they have investigative journalists); KBI; Attorney General of Kansas, etc… Bonny😣

We have this service for our mom. She feels protected and we feel secure when we aren't able to be with her that she has help available at her fingertips. She is able to push the button on her necklace and the local EMTs come to her aid.

My neighbor has this and when she pushed her button for help this morning, she asked if they could call me. When I got the call, it came through as an unidentified caller. For some reason, I did answer. Normally, I do not answer these types of calls. I did go over and we resolve the situation. But, when I called back, no one in the company was even vaguely interested in the fact that I thought that they are not identification should come through as an emergency situation. They rather kissed me off on a subject that I think is rather important. No one in the company that I talk to would even give me the name of someone that might be able to react to my suggestion.

So far, the alarm was activated 3 times....don’t know how until Rita Tourigny heard the alarm box screaming at her! Your company says, wear the wrist band at night. We will try this. I really don’t like the big unit where one can not turn the volume down.....or have the reset button on top so if the unit needs to be reset...it is easily assessable. So far we are not too happy. Your responders are great tho. Send a survey later....we will see what happens.

I got an immediate response after I submitted my info online. Jorge was well versed and very pleasant and easy to work with. He provided all the info necessary for me to make a decision to go ahead and get this device for my mother. The only problem I had was there was about 3 more people contacted me after Jorge. Finially I asked them to stop calling me because I was already working with Jorge. So they quit. Otherwise very pleased.

My experience is very limited at this point. All devices were delivered on time and set up was not difficult. The instructions were clear and we did not have to call support for help. Testing the system went without a hitch. Fortunately we have not had to activate the system, but our experience thus far has been very positive.

Customer Service is very helpful. The response to the Medical Alert alarm is quick and efficient. If the alarm is activated accidentally, the member of the team responding is always happy to hear that my mother is fine and doesn't need medical attention. I researched and compared a variety of systems and chose Medical Alert for my mother. I'm glad I did. I do wish the website was more informative.

Thank God, I’ve only had “false alarms”over the past 6 years. The responders have always been professional and reassuring even when pendant accidentally pressed or dropped. Thank you. Contacts regarding billing have also been positive. New “weighted” is a little “sensitive”, but provides add’l reassurance.

We have had for 2 years and the service has always been good. But on May 30 th pushed button and 20 minutes later they tell us they could not get 911! The good part is they followed up with investigation into what went wrong and have kept us in the loop. We know 911 was down in our area and they said by next week they will have an answer why it was down. To me that is awesome service. Anyone can give good service when no problems arise. The test is handling a problem.

I bought this product for my mother, and I have to say that we have had a great experience with the product and my mother has enjoyed it as well. The customer service was really great, they were very helpful and made sure that everything was taken care of. I feel good knowing that my mom is safe and Connect America is there to help if my mom is in trouble. I would recommend using Connect America for a loved one that you want to be safe and secure.
