I was married for 70 years, my husband died a year and a half ago and I live alone, I live in out in the country, I do have neighbors but they're too far to call and I have a daughter and I can reach her by phone but if I'm not be able to do that then I should have someone who could find me if I needed help so I thought I should have this, particularly I'm working out in my yard or something I said no one would even know where to find me if I would fall and couldn't get up and couldn't tell anybody where I was. The guardian alert...I went on and they were number 1 in all the once that I looked at online and so I call them and asked for brochure and then I talked to them and I like it. I had had a Verizon, the one that telephone company had, they had an alert system but they gave it up so I had to find another one. I particularly like this one because it's better, I can take it with me away from the house, I didn't want one that I only can use at home because I go out in my car yet but I am alone and I wanna be sure that someone knows where I am and this one has a GPS with it, if I'm in my car and I won't be able to tell where I am, it will find me and that was a good thing to know. Let's say they're very helpful and they thought me a lot of things and they sent me a brochure and things that I could look at and they were very straight forward and I'm glad that I took a test, I like it. It was very easy to set it up...they called and tell me what to do, very simple, very quick, very easy to do so I would suggest them, anybody would like it, it's very good, very good

Well my daughters decided I needed it, I volunteered on the dog rescue and I'm down there at all hours of the day and night and sometimes with big animals that have been off, street dogs and not necessarily a real safe situation and our neighborhood is not very safe and I fell three times in previous year, tripping over dog whatever and the last time, as a matter of fact it's funny that you're calling today because I was just at the doctor again. This last time I have back surgery, second back surgery tomorrow and for that injury and I'm there a lot alone at night in the dark and they just work comfortable with that and asked me to do it and by that point I thought that was probably a pretty good idea

I got an alarm and researched different companies and that was one of them and the benefits of them same that way the others. My parents are elderly and we have speeders but they're not there at night time and daddy has fallen several times and just spend the night on the floor and he can't get to the phone, my mother has Alzheimer's and she doesn't understand go get the phone so we thought if we had the necklace on he could punch the button then get in touch with someone and will call us and send help if they needed to. I was very pleased, she contacted me and tell me about a weekend fish all they had..wonderful head and purchased it and she called me a time w/c is you know just more like a friend than a salesperson.

Well I'm going to be 86 in March and my son was with me but he's not always with me and I do get through it to go and I thought what if I ever fell, now I have an iPad phone but if I fell and I was in pain or confuse, that's probably the last thing I'll be able to do on the iPad was to dial for help, so this way I got it around my neck and if I do fall or something happens I could just push the button. I got the whole kit, I got the bracelet, the necklace, the lock, the inside on a table, the ahh you know.. I don't know what they call it but there's a red and a blue button and it tells the date and the time and I guess if I had to use it I have to push the button.

I first saw a TV ad and decided to call the number they had for Medical Guardian. I purchased it for myself because I have been sick for 6 months and have not been able to get better. The diagnosis was not good and I was constantly going to the doctor. I just needed something near me just in case I needed somebody to help me if I needed help right away. I feel happy with it and feel very safe while I am driving or by myself. I feel like there is somebody always there to help me if I need it right away. The sales team was very nice. I have recommended Medical Guardian several times to other people. Medical Guardian is so easy to use. I just followed the instructions and had it set up in a matter of minutes.

I wear mine all the time. I wear my little thing around my neck and I keep everything in order. I check it out all the time to make sure because I do live by myself and if I fall or something this is what I have to rely on. I haven't had the opportunity to actually use it which I'm fortunate there that I'm a little careful when I walk I make sure where I'm walking, watch where I'm going. Also, at my home I have the ADT channelled to the house but I do feel safer having this thing that I can wear around my neck or my wrist because if someone broke in this would give me time to call the police. Because the police know I got it and if I punch that thing they going to come. And if it's somebody breaking in it'll take a little bit longer with ADT. ADT works fine and comes on. It's good I'm not saying it's not. Anyway, it's very comforting to know that it's fast as it is, because if I press it right now it would come right on. That's how fast they are and I know because when I get ready to leave I do call them but I usually unplug it first and they immediately know, no electricity and all that kinda stuff immediately so I haven't found anything wrong with it yet.

I have a medical condition, and I live alone so I wanted to make sure that I have a way to get help if any sort of problem occurred. I initially contacted several other companies, but the other ones were more expensive. I decided to go with Medical Guardian and purchased the wristband and necklace. Both of these have been very easy to operate and figure out. The sales team was very professional and explained everything to me to help me feel comfortable. Overall, the company is very terrific, especially when you look at the price compared with other competitors. The service is phenomenal and the equipment is great.

To be honest with you I think the price a little high but I realize there's a lot of things involved so I guess the price is pretty pretty reasonable. I guess I'm satisfied with it. I've never had occasion to use it I hope I don't, but if I have a case to use it I guess it'll be okay. I don't know because I've never had to use it. Now my wife had one two to three years ago before she passed away and it worked pretty good because we pushed a button and here that came the police and the ambulance and the fire department and one of your reps was able to get my wife to the hospital, unfortunately she never came home. It fell off my belt last night and then I decided it's time to charge it.

We've been pleased so far we have been blessed that we haven't had to use it in a real emergency so far so but I fell like it will perform as expected and we don't have any complaints. The response time I think it was reasonable, there was some delay but I think its reasonable. It was a good service. We tend to try it on its limits at home here and I think it's five hundred feet and i want to see how well that is true when my wife feels like getting out into the yard and walking a little bit out and so we can test the device in that way but so far I've been well pleased with it.

I'm not crazy about wearing it around my neck but I know they have a belt you know you can out it on a belt loop but I have belt loops either so I think maybe something on the wrist so would be a little better. I tested it right after I got it and they came on right away no problem at all and then I accidentally set it off when I was carrying wood because I had it under my shirt because its getting up in the wood and they came on and I just told them what was going on and they just wanted to make sure I was okay. I haven't had any problem with them or anything.

I tested it once and it was very quick it went right through and my battery I charged it five day I haven't charged it any longer I'll wait to see how long it really takes before I had to charge it but it did wait for five days.

It provides me a great peace of mind when I leave the house and leave my husband alone. He had a massive heart attack and I feel very comfortable leaving him alone with the device. It seems to work when we test it. It works perfectly and the women on the other end have been extremely polite and knowledgeable. They are calm even when it is not an emergency. It was very easy to set up. It was hard to attach to his wrist. It is hard for an older person with limited finger mobility.

Feel much safer with the device since I am an elderly person and I subject to a fall. I don’t have anybody else here. I have security if I fall. It will notify somebody if I am in trouble. I’ve dropped the unit and they have called me to know if I was in trouble and if I needed help. It is a pretty good service. I feel confident with the experience. I would recommend them.

They answer right away they took care of everything right away. It works really well, they called right away and asked if we needed any help and it worked out, we didn't so that was good it was accidentally set off. I like the fact that I can use it when I'm gone because my husband uses it and I can keep track of how he's doing. What I don't like about it is I keep it keeps disconnecting it and I wish we were in an area where we can get a good WiFi signal so we couldn't get the upgraded one.

Love that the people are quick to respond to me. I’ve used it twice. One time I fell in my living room when I was trying to put my Christmas tree up. I lost my balance and I hit my head and on shoulders and my tailbone. I live alone so if it wasn’t for Medical Guardian I don’t think I would be here now. The people who took care of me are wonderful. They had the ambulance here in no time. My daughter arrived at the same time because they contacted her. I would tell anybody to get it. It is a real life saver around your neck when you are old and can’t help yourself.

Medical Guardian is a very convenient form of device. It provides assurance that I can get help. They replace the units without any problems. I dropped one and it took a couple of days for a new one to came but there were no questions. I had to send the old one back. It was a good experience. I like that it is all in one piece and base unit sound quality. I used it once and the paramedics came and took care of the problem.

It's easy for my mother to use. Guardian gives my mother a lot of peace of mind knowing it's there even in the shower and when she feels like she can't reach anyone she has the Medical Guardian. So even though we don't leave her alone she still was nervous about someone not being available all the time so this gave her that peace of mind. We've tested it a few times and each time it doesn't take too long for the operator to respond and ask you know how things are off the list of questions they ask but each time it was a test, we've never had to use it in a true emergency.

It gives me a feeling of safety because I fall frequently and I'm old enough to know that that's dangerous. I like the fact that the operator asked twice If I'm all right and that I don't don't need any help so I understand. I would say it's top notch, I haven't had to use it but I have accidentally bumped it or fallen but wasn't hurt and I didn't realize it had gone off and so an ambulance shows up and I'm wondering who they are here for and then they knock on my door. Knowing how quick they are is very reassuring.

I think it's very good. I've never had to use it, but testing its response is very quick and I think it would work just fine if I ever do need to use it. The size is good I think, I just got the new one, I like the smaller size and that's not going off as often as the old one did. I had an awful time with that one. I'd rate it high I haven't had that much experience with customer service to base it on.

Well they're very reliable every time. I live in a place where the telephone reception is not great and so I tested it several times at all hours of the day and night and I tested in every room in the house and every time I tested it I got a a very prompt response from the company and it was very well done, I thought. I think it's it's a very good system with the exception that if you fall and lose consciousness, I'm not sure it set off the alarm unless you fell in a certain way. There is one problem that I was actually going to call the company and tell them about it and that is the following: It's supposed to protect the patient. If I should fall down, that should trigger the system. The problem is that if you fall on your back or fall on your side, it will not activate the mechanism. You've got to fall on your stomach. If the floors are hard, it'll set it off, but if you fall on the carpet, chances are not good that it is going to get set off.
