I had breathing problems at night, called Life Alert. They contacted local ambulance who picked me up in a very short time and took me to the nearest hospital. Diagnoses: heart failure due to leaking Mitral heart valve. I was sent to the medical center. My cardiologist performed two heart surgeries. Both were unsuccessful due to too much calcium accumulations at the heart. I must take very much medicine daily.

On the morning of December 18th, I was getting dressed. Ready to start my day. Suddenly I fell softly to my butt and tried to get up. That is when I discovered I needed help to get going, so realizing I was wearing my Life Alert pendant, I pressed the button and was talking to your operator within a couple of minutes. Within five to ten minutes later I was on my way to the hospital. Thank you.

A young man was trying to open my front door, pulling on the screen door and opening it and banging on the door. I pushed the button on my Life Alert bracelet and within 1-2 minutes I was talking to a nice young man who kept me calm until the police came. The “intruder” took off and the police could not find him, claimed “he must have been on drugs.” The young man from Life Alert did you proud. He stayed on the line the whole time. Thank you.

When I got out of bed the morning of Dec. 4th, I was having a vertigo episode. I could hardly stand. This was alarming to me.

Firemen and paramedics where at my home in about 15 minutes. Thank goodness the vertigo wasn’t serious.

While preparing the evening meal my wife passed out. I was in the next room and heard the sound of someone falling. I rushed to the kitchen and found my wife flat on the floor, face down and passed out. I quickly checked for bleeding – and breathing. I was wearing my Life Alert. Punched the button and found help immediately while still attending my wife. I could converse with Life Alert, our EMT’s where there very quickly – excellent response.

T.K., Ryegate, MT

It was Christmas day; my home care worker had come that day to help. I was sitting in the living room. Then my niece and her husband came with a plate of food. I found myself in the kitchen, my niece showed me what she had bought. All of a sudden I felt my legs weren’t going to hold me. I grabbed my walker and went in the chair. Everyone said Merry Christmas to me and left. My worker had cleaned the kitchen so everything was ok. I was tired and decided to go to bed, using my walker I got up from my chair. I remember holding onto my walker but my legs went out from under me and I found myself going down. Leaving my walker in the living room I started scooting on my butt from the living room into the bedroom. Then I was exhausted and laid flat on the floor. Then I pressed my Life Alert button. I heard Life Alert come on and I told them I was on the floor and I couldn’t get up. Within just a few minutes the fire department was at the door. It’s a good thing the door wasn’t locked. They put me onto my bed, they wanted to take me to the hospital but I said just put me in my bed. Thank you very much Life Alert.

N.W., Charleston, WV

Life Alert has saved my mother’s life! There has been many times that her button has helped her with falls and calling me to assist her to safety – but over the last 14 years it saved her life twice. Her sugar dropped and before she became unconscious she used her button to alert help – the second time she fell while getting out of the shower and was unresponsive when the paramedics arrived. Thank you, Life Alert!!

B.S., Bay Minette, AL
