My 91 year old mother had a reaction to a medical procedure done earlier in the day. She became seriously ill late that evening and could not walk to her telephone. She pressed the Life Alert pendant and the dispatcher could not hear her from the other room. The paramedics were called and arrived, then took her to the hospital. [Life Alert] product is a must for anyone who lives alone – young or old.

I called Life Alert because I was having such pain in my hip. [Life Alert] called my three daughters and an ambulance. I stayed in hospital for six days. I really appreciate the feeling of security and safety that Life Alert gives me.

During the night, my husband fell in the bathroom. He was bleeding badly. My daughter and I could not get him up. I called Life Alert, [EMTs] were there in no time. There was also a police man there, they got him up and seen the blood was coming from his arm. The [EMT] man bandaged his arm, we were very happy with them, they did a good job.

My burglar alarm sounded at 5:a.m. on a Sunday. I was sound asleep. I immediately pressed my Life Alert pendant. A friendly and soothing man’s voice answered. After I explained the problems, he kept reassuring me that “help is on the way.” [Life Alert] man said, “I will be right here with you” and he was until the police and my son arrived.

I was kneeling by the bathtub, cleaning it out when I tried to get up for over an hour and forty five minutes. I finally gave up and called Life Alert immediately. The fire department came. I had given my neighbor my house key so they let the firemen in. They lifted me up and checked that I could walk okay. They were very courteous and did a good job. P.S. I’m 86 years old.

I fell and called [Life Alert] – person was very helpful the whole time. [EMTs] staff arrived, got me up and moving then left. I should have not gotten up right away but did and walked a few steps and went down again. A neighbor stopped by and I was on the floor. She went down to see if [EMTs] were still here and got them and they came up – got me settled and stayed longer – walked me around until I told them I was OK. Very satisfied.

I tripped and fell in my bedroom during the night. What impressed me the most was the fact that the Life Alert dispatcher stayed on the line with me until the emergency responders told him that I was okay. Then, I received a follow-up phone call from Life Alert. Thank you!
