I was very stressed about how I was feeling with heavy pain and symptoms of a heart related issue. The response was quick and the operator assured me that help was on the way. I was treated like the most important person with gentleness and great attention to my pain. So glad I opted for this program.
|
I was experiencing weakness and dizziness – thought I was going to pass out – I pushed my button and Life Alert was there and stayed with me until the ambulance came – I was transported to the hospital severely dehydrated and admitted for care. Thank you, Life Alert, it was a positive experience. I highly recommend Life Alert to all my friends.
|
I fell and was unable to get up. I called Life Alert for assistance, which arrived within 15 minutes and helped me get up. They asked if I needed to go to the hospital, which I did not. They were very courteous and helpful!
|
I am 90 years old. I went to the bathroom, was washing my hands, turned to leave and slippers where slippery and I sat down on wood floor. Always wear my Life Alert around my neck. I knew I could not pull myself up, so used Life Alert. Police came and they really helped a lot. I thank you very much.
|
My girlfriend and I were out of town on vacation and Life Alert allowed for this to happen (thanks) we wouldn’t have been able to go if not for Life Alert. They tried twice calling me and my girlfriend, and my daughter to inform us. They did exactly what I hoped they would do. Called 911 and had my mother transported to the local hospital. Thank you again.
|
The Sunday before, I was heading to the bathroom, tripped over my own shoe (which I had just removed after a walk) and landed hard on my right hip. Pushed my pendant, told the Life Alert responder not to call my son, but to please call my daughters, which he did, and he stayed on the line with me until one of them arrived! He was very helpful and comforting!
|
I highly agree that Life Alert staff was very courteous, very positive and I would recommend Life Alert staff to all handicap and aging people. Truly I don’t know what I would have done without it. Couldn’t get up nor reach the phone. [EMT] staff came in a very short time.
|
Life Alert handled my emergency, was extremely professional, and courteous. My children talked me into this service and I often wondered if it was worth the price. I have to say that it’s worth every nickel. Thank you very much for your assistance on that day.
|
Abdominal pain on left side. My heart was acting up. I called Life Alert and asked for an ambulance. The Life Alert person was very helpful. The firemen were great and also the ambulance men were great all the way to the hospital.
|
My dad has frequent falls. We have home health aides that assist him. Life Alert promptly responds to an emergency. They stay on the line and routinely makes a follow-up call.
|
My vision was seeing double to the point that my glasses could not prevent this from clearing up. I called Life Alert when it didn’t clear up and it was too dangerous for me to drive home. I parked in a parking lot and Life Alert sent 3 firemen to take me to a hospital where I was treated. The response from Life Alert was very fast.
|
I have fallen several times and was unable to get up. Life Alert always responded quickly to call the fire department and my son. I don’t know what I would do without them.
|
I am a 75 years old single woman, and live alone. On several occasions I lost my balance and fell to the floor. I used my pendant to call Life Alert. Help was dispatched and arrived quickly. I do not know how I would manage these incidents without Life Alert.
|
My mother fell in the bathroom and Life Alert staff got in touch with paramedics who responded immediately. They also got in touch with my sister and me to tell us what was going on.
|
My mother fell getting out of bed and hurt her shoulder but couldn’t tell me where she was injured at first. Tired to pick her up but she yelped with pain, so I told her she might have a broken bone and that I was pushing the Life Alert button. Life Alert had an ambulance arrive in about 15 minutes which was fast.
|
Life Alert stayed on the line with me during a scare that my bedroom window was broken. I was upset and became exited. I am a heart patient, Life Alert called paramedics and constantly reassured me with his calm and positive voice. Thank you so much. Will send a list of people of whom I have shared my gratitude for having Life Alert.
|
The service was excellent! I tripped over a chair leg, received a gash in my left leg, an intrusion on right arm and scratches on my head, and tested negative. I have recommended this Life Alert service to many others. The employees were very careful and kind. Thank them for me please.
|
Life Alert is a life saver. On at least two instances the response has been immediate once the Life Alert button is pushed. The associate is courteous and reassuring and paramedics arrive within the hour. Actually within minutes.
|
Life Alert responded immediately to a call when I began showing signs of a stroke. They contacted my emergency contacts (son and granddaughter) to inform them of my being taken to the hospital. They (Life Alert) also stayed in touch with my son to confirm all actions required and taken!!! I’m alive because of the service provided! Thank you!!!
|
I was so impressed with the 4 men. [Life Alert] called my son to come, and [EMT’s] helped me get up and even cleaned up the mess I made when I fell – lunch all over the floor – even a glass of milk on the rug. I was so grateful. It was the first time I’ve had to use them over many years. I want to thank you so much. Thanks again.
|
My grandmother slipped and fell in the bathroom. She was home alone and couldn’t get help. Life Alert summoned EMS and her next door neighbors which saved her life.
|
My dad fell out of his bed July 11, 2018 and he couldn’t get up. He pressed his Life Alert button and right away the ambulance arrived to pick him up. He was ok so they didn’t have to take him to the ER.
|
I did not fall but I couldn’t get up!!! I was getting out of a low cabinet to cook supper, and with severe arthritis in my knees, could not get up!! As a widow, I am proud to be a Life Alert member for approximately 7 years, and am 74 years old for. Thank you – you are the best! When you have the best - you forget the rest!!
|
Life Alert operator stayed on the line until paramedics and fire fighters cleared them to go off. I am grateful to Life Alert for their knowledge and intuitiveness to summon medical assistance without me as a contact person giving the authority to do so. Their calming voice was so very reassuring.
|
I have cardiac heart failure. When I called and told [Life Alert] my situation/problem, EMT’s and fire department were here STAT. Dispatcher knew I probably needed O2. Stayed on line until EMT’s left with me to the hospital. Talked to EMT’s, and called my contact list people to give them an update, which I totally appreciate.
|
My mom fell while attempting to walk to the bathroom in her home. My dad was unable to lift her, or move her to a safe position. He pressed the Life Alert button round his neck and the response was immediate, paramedics where dispatched, and the family contacted promptly.
|
Heavy wet snow brought trees down and caused a power outage. Life Alert helped me get an EMS unit to switch me from my small emergency tanks to a 15-hr tank. They stayed on line with me until everything was completed. My home help couldn’t get to me, so this was really appreciated. At a later date, we had a power outage that lasted a very long time. I had home help and had not called on Life Alert, but they called me when they noticed the power out and made sure I was ok!
|
My first heart attack – as I had worked in the ER at the hospital – I knew I was having a heart attack. I pushed the [Life Alert] button and the EMT’s arrived within 5 minutes. I was told I had 15 more minutes to live. Life Alert saved my life. The second time, my blood pressure was so high, they gave me a heart bypass. Thanks to Life Alert I am going to be 89 this October.
|
While I was out my wife had fallen. She couldn’t get up. She called Life Alert who informed me -- and I was home in about 10 minutes, officers were entering in. Life Alert operator was on the line monitoring. Life Alert has been very efficient and helpful. Choosing Life Alert was the right choice.
|
My father quit breathing, flipped his arms and closed his eyes – passed out while my niece was watching him. She grabbed him to sit him up and he started breathing again. Pushed the help button on Life Alert machine and you guys called and did a great job. Help was on the way.
|
Awake 3:00am – on sofa – left side was numb. Have had 3 TIA’s before. I recognized the symptoms – pushed button – Life Alert operator very helpful and calming – called ambulance – called my 2 daughters. Stayed with me until ambulance drivers came over. Thank you so much.
|
I had donated blood, gone to neighbors, and had a fainting spell. She called Life Alert and an ambulance came by, then I came too. I never had that happen before. But the day before, I went to a doctor’s visit and they drew blood. The nurse said it was alright to give blood the next day. We all think it was too much for my body.
|
Life Alert was certainly a great help for me. On July 4, I was walking from my couch to the other room when I felt very dizzy. I got to my dining room to a chair, but at that time I fell backwards, the chair fell and my head hit the back of the chair. My head was bleeding and I could not get up. I pressed my Life Alert button and immediately someone answered. They got to me quickly and were very kind and said help was on the way. I did not wait long to get my help.

I think this happened on 8 July 2018. I fell in my bedroom going up the one step in the room. My right knee buckled and down I went. I thought I could get up on my own, but after 2 hours of trying, I finally used the [Life Alert] I had around my neck. I wasn’t near the main box or a telephone so they couldn’t reach me. I heard someone on the box say they were calling 911 and expect the fire department to be there soon. It only took about 5 minutes for the truck to arrive. My front door was unlocked and open, and they called through the house saying fire department is here. I called back saying where I was. They helped me to sit on the bed. My legs were weak but I was not hurt. Life Alert also called my niece – she arrived while the fire men were still here. The Life Alert was courteous and helpful through it all. I’m glad too that I decided to go with Life Alert.

Being a diabetic, my sugar was 445. I was dehydrated, dizzy, and weak. I hit my Life Alert pendant. They responded immediately and called an ambulance. I was bleeding internally and received two blood transfusions. Thank you for being there. This was my 2nd time needing an ambulance. Life Alert is a life saver! Since I live alone, it gives my family peace of mind.
|
Life Alert responded immediately getting me to the hospital (ER) many times since I started the service. A dear friend was at my home and I used Life Alert and her life was saved. She started using Life Alert after that.

My husband fell due to his Parkinson’s. The Life Alert people sent help quickly, got him up and to bed. I didn’t want him to go to the hospital since I knew he wasn’t injured. They respected my decision and were very courteous. I was very grateful for their help.
|
Right before my husband passed away, he was feeling real bad and fell on the floor of concrete. I’m in a wheelchair so I call Life Alert. Help was here in five minutes, 3 people, they got him ready and had him on the way to the hospital. I’m here by myself, I could not get out of my chair one night. I called Life Alert and help was here and got me out. I recommend it to anyone who needs help.

My mother-in-law has had to use Life Alert on three occasions. Every time it has been a great experience providing assistance to her and contacting family members. Thank you for your continued awesome service.

My dad is 84 and has Alzheimer’s. On July 10, 2018 he left home for a drive and ended up on a logging trail on a mountain. He was turning around and the truck slid down the embankment and turned up on its side. He used the pager device to contact Life Alert and they were able to locate him and send help. He didn’t know where he was and it was 11:30pm.
|

I could not breathe. Husband pushed Life Alert button and within minutes help arrived. I was lying in bed and they asked if I could walk to the gurney which was very close. They took my husband in the front seat and alerted my daughter so she could be at the hospital. They made me feel cared for and relaxed.

On the morning of Wednesday June 13th, while holding onto my walker, I began turning towards my right. I lost my balance and fell hitting the right side of my forehead on the floor and the walker hitting my lower right leg causing a bleeding wound. Being alone at home I pressed my Life Alert pendant since I needed help to get up. The Life Alert person who answered my call remained on the telephone until the paramedics arrived. They were able to enter my locked door by using the keys which were in a lock key box outdoors. After evaluating my injuries they took me to the ER for treatment. I returned home that day when tests showed hospitalization was not necessary.
|
I fell and couldn’t get up. As it turned out, I broke my hip. I pushed my neck button and was near enough to speak into the Life Alert box. Help arrived within 10 minutes. I was helped a great deal by having the Life Alert system!
