I like it because I can talk right into my button, which I carry around my neck all day and charge at night, and I don't have to go to another room to answer the call.

The customer service is great. Luckily we have never had to use it, so I can not rate the emergency services. I took one star off for delivery. It took 10 days to teceive the equipment. Also the watch alarm is bulky.

Although I have not had a need to use it for emergency purposes, I am glad that I had a choice to make a primary family member as first responder before EMS showed up.

Need more consistent communication between what sales people say and actual response. Was told I would receive a call before 911 was called but 911 was already on the way. I was glad and like 911 to go immediately.

Reply from Medical Guardian

Paula, we apologize for the confusion. Customers do have the option of setting up their accounts so emergency contacts are reached out to prior to contacting 911. By default everything is set-up the other way around, so 911 is contacted and then emergency contacts. It sounds like your account set up to your liking, but if that is not the case, please reply directly to this message and we will call about updating your account settings. Please reply with the full name of the device user, their name and address if you wish to make changes. Any information shared in your response will not be posted publically. Thanks for the feedback!

Julie Nielsen Stevens Point, WI

The first test we did was fine, the 2nd test connected as a different person and different address. We have only had this system not even 3 months yet and already the necklace button doesn't work. Thankfully we got the wrist band too and that still works! Couldn't get through to customer service about being connected to the wrong person, but did leave a message and was called back the next day and it was fixed. However, the necklace button still doesn't work when we re-tested.

Julie, we thank you for reaching out. We're sorry that you experienced some technical difficulties with both the wrist band and with regards to account information. We're happy the account issue was resolved but want to make sure that the wrist band functions as it should. We will be in touch shortly to help resolve this issue for you. Have a great day!

I was very pleased with customer service when I bought the device. Both of my watch straps have broken already. Everyone at Medical Guardian is kind and not pushy.

I've had nothing but problems since I ordered it in January. I just spoke to a person a couple of hours ago and I am very disgusted with the service. I was not told the proper things and never told about insurance or if something happened how much would it cost. I've had four or five phone calls and I'm very very disgusted. The device broke the other day. It's just a little piece of plastic and the thing just broke. I've been waited for two months to get a paper bill in the mail and it was going to cost two extra dollars a month and I said no problem and then the bill came and it was three dollars more a month. We were going to replace it with a necklace and it was supposed ot be here Thursday and they needed a payment right away so I gave them my debit card and I told them they ought to destroy that number and they said they would and they called me today and they still have my debit card number on file.

When I push the call button, it takes a little bit longer. A quick response would be a good idea. I tested it yesterday and the delay time was so long. Unbelievable for them to pick it up and find out if anything was wrong.

No volume control, battery runs down too often, not waterproof. My mother is the one who TRIES to use the watch. She has dementia and she is very hard of hearing. We have to try and help her remember to charge the watch every other day. When we did the practice runs on the device, she could not even hear the people on the other end. I'm just praying she never has to use the watch. I doubt very seriously if she could understand anything they tell her to do.

It was difficult to set up. My neighbor has a competitive product and it was much more simple to set up. Also you have limited west coast hours on the weekend. Finally, we have not yet needed to use the service so it's difficult to make a fair evaluation
