It's an interesting concept for me because I've fallen without being able to get up. Besides pushing the button once a month for a test, I really haven't had to use it, however, they've provided an excellent service to this point. As far as my experience, they've just been great.

I'm afraid of falling due to a back problem I have, and during these 2 months I've used it, I can say I like it very much. I haven't had much experience with the system but I really think it's a great thing for seniors.

Although I haven't had to use it yet, it's a great backup in case I need it. I feel that I'm protected with this service. The only problem was that we had a some trouble with the equipment and it has not been cleared out. Besides that, everything's fine.

My husband passed away and I live alone, so it was time to purchase Medical Alert. I like using it and although I'm the only one in my family that has experience with it, they're very good at what they do. I've had a couple of accidents with it and they were very nice to me when I explained it was an accident.

My husband and I have a little gray thing that will alert the medical people if we fall. We had trouble with it at first; now we got it down and it's doing fine. The only thing I would say is that it goes off very easy, without even realizing you're setting it off.

They're very helpful, but it really does take some trouble to get through to them. I recently got the fall detector, which is quite heavy and bulky. I'm not as pleased with that one so I've gone back to the bracelet. Somebody is right there when you push the button however, it's quite time consuming when it comes to requesting information.

The person who purchased this service has a medical issue and so far it's been effective. The service is excellent, but as their caregiver, the only thing that worries me is the time delay. They should respond faster when you press the button to avoid a bad situation.

My wife and I purchased the necklace and we both like the services. They called me to check if the device was working properly, however they hung up pretty quickly and I didn't get a chance to tell them that my Medical Alert wouldn't work if there was to be a power outage. Also, my wife already fell twice and the emergency necklace didn't go off. Besides that, we think it's a good service. I'm just concerned it won't work if we happen to lose power.

Really works! Two of my family members have it! Just got the device that detects a fall, and it worked! Life Alert initiated the process when a family member passed out. Life Alert contacted me and I immediately went to see what happened. A fall had taken place in the bathroom and Life Alert had the life saving crew on the way, so we got to my family member about the same time. Luckily, no broken bones, etc. but family doctor recommended the patient go to ER to be checked out due to a history of falls. After one week in the hospital and two weeks in rehab, we are back home now. I truly recommend Life Alert!!!!

When my husband passed away in 2010, I had to move from the retirement community we were living in. I moved into an apartment alone. I began having many falls. I tried another system which was bad. I switched to Medial Alert. I still took falls and was afraid to punch my alarm. I have different ones show much interest and have gone out of their way to help me not be afraid. I even would get calls that I hadn't been checking each month. After so much has happened to me and my son has recently passed away, I recently hit my button after a fall in closet. Help was here before I knew it. I couldn't believe how much caring and help they showed. I have nothing but praise for this wonderful company and the special interest they have taken to help a poor frightened old lady who is 80 years old and cannot move without a walker and not for far. I wear it ALL the time now, especially in the shower and through the night as I have to get up several times. My walker stays by my bed.

Every time I speak to a different rep, they're always throwing something new at me which sounds good but ends up costing me more money. I live on a fixed income, & if thus continues being too expensive, I may have to cancel Dr his service.

I have fallen a couple of times while wearing the necklace and the alarm did not go off. One time I fell all the way down the stairs! My children and I are very frustrated with this. We called technical support and had them test it, but of course there were "no issues". Clearly there are. I was also charged for unapproved expenses for a rate lock and protection plan. We may consider other options.

We had a person call and try to trick us into upgrading by saying "we are going to send you an upgraded version because everyone is upgrading" he almost had my husband approving until I asked about cost or was the company upgrading all customers, he was caught and I told him, you are quite the salesman, you almost had us going. Please no more sales people coerci g customers. Also the medical alert button was accidently pushed and it took me 20 minutes to get through to anyone...
