I’d fallen and unable to rise. I pushed my Life Alert button which is around my neck 24 hours a day. EMS sent by Life Alert came but I could not get up to get to the door. The team worked to get in the door until luckily a staff person of the apartment building came.

Tried to get my cat to take here to be groomed. Needless to say, when she realized, she was going to have to get in the ‘kitty carrier” she ran to hide--this was in a store room. I saw her on the bottom shelf—I bent over to pull her out—Thank God I always wear my button because I fell and could not get up.

Called Life Alert, wasn’t feeling quite like myself. Needed to not go to the hospital, but felt better as time went on. I made the correct decision and stayed home. Was fine the next day.

I fell in the middle of the night and injured myself. Life Alert promptly contacted my family and the paramedics and helped manage and communicated about the situation until completion. Very thorough, responsive, and calm.

I had fallen down in my family room and couldn’t get myself up, so I pushed my button and asked them to call my daughter. I did not need the paramedics. They did call her & she & her husband got me up—without injury!
