My dog and I were watching a squirrel (but I should have been watching the dog) while on a walk. The next memory I have was the ambulance was there within 5 minutes – and knew where to take me. All I needed to be concerned about was the safety of my dog, Murphy. My neighbor is with the county fire department, kept me calm and took my dog until one of my friends could collect him and see him safely home. Everything went off as it should. I was back home 4 hours later with 32 stitches, later healed. Great praise for Life Alert who made it possible!

My mom had fallen due to weakness in her right knee caused by a small TIA. Paramedics were here within minutes and they rushed her to the hospital, thanks to Life Alert’s immediate response.

I have had to call Life Alert on numerous occasions and have found them to be very prompt and efficient in what needed to be done. It is well worth the monthly fee as I have called them many times.

I went out on my front porch to get the mail. My left knee gave out and I fell down and couldn’t get up. I pressed my Life Alert button and spoke to a person on the monitor. A fire truck soon drove up with four men in it. They helped me to my chair in my living room and phoned my daughter who came over to be with me. After a nap I was ok. I am 93 years old.

I am an 84 year woman with a heart disease. When I fell in my bathroom, I was so afraid. I could not get up. Fear gripped me and made me very nervous. My door was locked; how will I let them in? I greatly appreciate the person on the phone who was very kind and let me know help was on the way. Your staff did a wonderful job. I appreciate Life Alert, it’s one of my greatest blessings. My thanks to everyone.

My husband fell coming from the bathroom to sit in his recliner chair. I was unable to get him up so I called Life Alert. The dispatchers were very helpful and help came right away.

My husband was in the backyard with his walker and he fell. I was inside and did not know. He called me but I didn’t hear him, so he pressed his Life Alert. The inside monitor came on and I immediately realized what had happened. I pressed cancel and went outside. Life Alert called us to check with us about what happened and waited while I tried to get him up. I wasn’t able to get him to his feet and told Life Alert. She asked me few questions and we decided to call 911. She told me they were coming and stayed with me until they did. She talked to one of the firemen. There was a follow up call later. I really felt we had been taken care of and the stress of the whole situation was greatly lessened. Thank you.

[Life Alert] stayed on the line with me until the EMT’s arrived. Later they called all of my contacts and told them my situation and said they would call them back when they knew my condition. I didn’t know they did this, but I was grateful and my contacts were as well. Thank you!!

I notified Life Alert that I was dizzy and weak and needed immediate help. An ambulance arrived within five minutes and after checking vital signs, transported me to the hospital ER. My family was notified all along the way.
