My first experience with Life Alert was while cooking, grease got on the burners and my kitchen was smoking. Life Alert immediately called on the speaker, and asked what was happening, and stayed on until the smoke was cleared. Another occasion my brother was alone and fell, Life Alert immediately called me and my brother who lives next door.

I had received an antibiotic for an infection which I am allergic too – so had a really bad reaction to it. It was midnight – dark – I’m alone. I pressed my [Life Alert] button and next thing – here are these two men standing by my bed asking, “Did you call for help?” Thanks!

I was completely satisfied with my experience with Life Alert. Everything was done so fast. In the beginning I didn’t want the Life Alert but I was sure my son was worried about me not having it. I’m glad now that I agreed to it.

I fell off my bed and couldn’t get up. When my bare feet hit the floor they slipped. It’s like I’m stepping on ice. I have since starting wearing socks to bed. The Life Alert person was very courteous. He made sure the firemen were in my apartment.

My mother has used Life Alert many times. This service is invaluable for a person who is homebound, has medical concerns, and security needs. Thank you very much. You get help ASAP.

My dad (Life Alert client) woke in the middle of the night with a numb arm and tingling in the hands. He activated his Life Alert pendant. Life Alert contacted paramedics and then notified me. I arrived at the same time as the paramedics. He was transported to the ER for observation. It turned out his arm fell asleep.

I have had 2 falls within 3-4 weeks. Both times the paramedics were there in a very short time. The first fall – I could not get up, but not actually injured. Second fall was serious with intense pain. Again the response was quick – gave me medication for pain and took me to the emergency hospital. Without the Life Alert, I could have laid on the floor and died since there is no one who checks on me on a regular basis.

I fell down and fractured my ankle, and could not get up. My husband was home, and he called Life Alert. the Life Alert staff did an excellent job in calling an ambulance, and spoke to the ambulance staff and gave him all my medication list, and ensued smooth transition. Thanks to Life Alert, you significantly helped in the midst of a stressful situation.

[Husband] was going to the doctors, walking with his walker, his legs weren’t going and he couldn’t walk. We called Life Alert for an ambulance. He was taken to the hospital, he had an infection, so he was there about 3 days. He had a complete knee replacement June 14th, he has been recuperating since.

I rolled out of bed while asleep and could not get up. I pushed the Life Alert button, they responded but I was too far from the speaker for them to hear me. They responded and notified my family. All turned out well. Thank you.
