My heartrate went rapidly up to over 200. After waiting a while, it went to 160 but stayed there. Signaled for an ambulance and was transported to hospital by ambulance. Life Alert stayed on the line with me until the EMT’s got here and made contact with them.

Several times Life Alert responded effectively to non-emergency falls, and ultimately to one emergency fall; LA did exactly what it said it would do when we signed on: contacting, testing, follow-up, etc.

My mother slipped out of bed cover. She was too weak to stand. Called Life Alert, paramedics [came] to get her in shower. Then we had to call again. She was still too weak in legs and couldn’t get her out of shower. Sister came but with both of us. We called Life Alert again to take her to hospital.

I fell on my kitchen floor—not hurt—but unable to get up. Immediate response from a caring, calm voice—used my necklace. Help arrived quickly and during the wait time that same voice reassured at regular intervals. Don’t want to need you soon, but I am grateful for the peace of mind Life Alert provides.
