I had picked up a load of clothes in the bedroom to put in the washer and when I turned, I lost my balance and fell between the bed and an overstuffed chair. I couldn’t get turned around, so I couldn’t get up. Called Life Alert and they were here in an ambulance within 15 minutes! They were very polite and picked me up. They took my blood pressure and told me not to hesitate to call again if I ever needed them. I’m all for Life Alert!

C.S., Park Rapids, MN

I am 77 and I recently fell and could not get up. I tried for over an hour and realized that I was not able to get up. I pushed the Life Alert and told them my front door was open. The paramedics were in my home within 5 minutes. They thought I had a sprain on my left wrist but after 3 days of pain, I went to the emergency room and it turned out that I had broken my wrist. Thankfully, I had Life Alert installed one week before my fall.

G.W., Nashville, TN

I tripped on a flower pot and fell on the sidewalk outside face down. I moved so I could sit up and was bleeding above my eye. I pressed my Life Alert button twice. The ambulance was here shortly. It has taken a whole month for the bump over the eye to go down as it was really swollen. They took a C-scan of my head but no broken bones and I also I didn’t get dizzy either before the fall or after it, and came home 2 days later. I was lucky I had no concussion. The hospital and my one daughter said you called, thank you.

H.D., Grafton, ND

Due to an UTI, which I was not aware of, I fainted when going to the car in my carport. I hit my head on the concrete floor, knocking me out. When I came to consciousness, I pushed my Life Alert button which was around my neck. That summoned an ambulance and family members. I spent several days in the hospital from a concussion and loss of blood. Having my Life Alert saved my life.

I called Life Alert. I was dizzy and didn’t know what was going on. The ambulance took me to the hospital and I was there for 3 weeks. It turned out my blood pressure dropped and my blood count went down to 5. I had to get 3 pints of blood, but I am doing fine now.

D.M., Suisun City, CA

It was my first experience with Life Alert. They were here fast and checked my breathing. I’ve been under a lot of stress since my heart surgery on May 23rd. I went to the emergency room. I’m fine now and both of the men were very interested in me. Thanks Life Alert! It’s worth the money each month.

S.R., Gilroy, CA

My mother, who is 97 and has trouble walking, tried to get up to answer the phone and fell, hurting her face and hitting her head on the kitchen cabinet. The paramedics were very kind and helpful to her. She was very pleased with the [Life Alert] response. Everything they did was fine.

V.D., Saint Peters, MO

I was not feeling good and had a bad migraine affecting my brain. I could not remember, or dial my daughter’s phone number. I pressed my Life Alert bracelet button. I got the operator and told him to call my daughter. They called her and she said she be there in 5 minutes. They called the other people from my condo that were on the list. Someone must have called 911. I unlocked my doors, but could not answer questions from my daughter or 911. I saw my doctor and my neurologist for the migraine. I’m better now, but don’t drive yet. I’m very pleased with my Life Alert response.

P.B., Snohomish, WA

My husband had fallen and had a cut above his eye that would not stop bleeding. He was taken to the hospital because I could not lift him. He has Parkinson’s and was taken by ambulance to the emergency. [Another time] my husband needed help again getting up. Life Alert came quickly and took his vitals and asked if he wanted to go to the hospital. He said no even though his heart rate was irregular. We signed a request not to be taken.

I had a biopsy done on my leg. When I changed the bandage, it wouldn’t stop bleeding. I called Life Alert and they sent the fire rescue squad who stopped it.

By morning, it was bleeding again and I called Life Alert and they took me to the ambulance and to the hospital. I stayed there for three days and had a blood transfusion.

I was coming in the front door using my walker chair and I fell backwards. I pushed my Life Alert button and they were here promptly. They called my son and the fire department. They got here first and got me on my feet. Life Alert attendants got me to the chair and checked me out. They bandaged my elbow (only injury) and made sure I was okay. They were really nice and caring.

G.W., Calvert City, KY

I was outside in the heat of the day working too hard in my condition to clean the doorway and entry to my house. I began to feel weak and dizzy, so got to a bench nearby. No one was outside to hear my call for help, so I pushed the Life Alert button! They received the signal, but couldn’t hear me and I couldn’t hear them either. Then the EMS team arrived and saved the day. My family is out of state, so Life Alert gives all of us a peace of mind!

B.S., Easton, PA

My fault for trying to change clothes during commercials. I was rushing to change clothes and fell and called [Life Alert]. They were here in less than 10 minutes and got me up. All was well, so no danger. Wonderful people and the man stayed on the line with me the whole time.

S.W., San Angelo, TX

I fell going into the bathroom and hit my head on a marble step going into the shower. I bust my head open and had a lot of bleeding. I pushed my Life Alert but the box is in the kitchen so I couldn’t respond to it. However, the paramedics came and wrapped my head, and took me to the emergency.

R.L., Pasadena, MD

I woke up one morning and my right hand had gout. I couldn’t transfer from the bed to my wheelchair. I have used Life Alert to help me in the bathroom twice and both times was positive. I was embarrassed and they assured me not to be. They were here in no time and took me to the hospital.

I fell late in the evening after coming home from the hospital, a few days earlier after having back surgery. I didn’t have much muscle control. Life Alert got the paramedics to come to my house and also called my daughter.

J.C., Homer Glen, IL

The minute I woke up, I was dizzy and started retching. I managed to get on the floor and grab the phone, but was unable to dial because I was so extremely dizzy and could not focus. Every time I tried to move, I could not. I probably laid there about 10 minutes before I thought to push the [Life Alert] help button, so I did.

R.W., Millinocket, ME

While gardening in my front yard, I lost my balance and fell and I couldn’t get up without assistance. The nicest policeman came and helped me up. Then the paramedics came, but I didn’t need their assistance because I wasn’t hurt at all. Thank you, Life Alert.

J.K., Paducah, KY

Around 4am, Life Alert called me informing me that my mother had fallen out of bed. She later told me she had been sitting on the edge of the bed, slipped off and fell to the floor. She didn’t have her cell phone on her so Life Alert was the only way she could get help. The ambulance came and took her to the hospital. If not for Life Alert, I don’t know how long she would have lain helplessly on the floor.

A.W., Camdenton, MO

My mom fell at 11pm in the kitchen on her wrist and face. At 3am, she woke up and hit the Life Alert button and they came and found her on the floor with blood all over the floor and a broken wrist. She was taken to the hospital and needed surgery. My sister and I were both notified of her fall and we wonder if she would be alive today if she wasn’t wearing a Life Alert.

S.S., Boynton Beach, FL

My left jaw was rather sore for several days, on Friday morning when I awakened I found a large lump below my left ear that was very painful. I called Life Alert.

I did the right thing as I was admitted to the hospital. I am thankful for your caring people.

I pressed the Life Alert call I carry in my purse. The ambulance arrived and took me to the local hospital, where I was treated for pain as well as electrocardiogram.

My blood pressure went to 199. I was sitting in my walker and started to take my dog for a walk. Something I do 2 or 3 times daily. I called my daughter and that’s when it all started. I told her I felt strange and my voice was different. She said press your [Life Alert] necklace and told her I was outside and not near the machine. She said to go in the house and she will call. She did and less than 10 minutes, the ambulance was here. I feel she and you possibly saved my life. Even had my neighbors on set.

S.Y., Flint, MI

I called because I had a very bad nose bleed. I was scared when I saw how heavy the blood poured out of my nostril. The woman who answered my call was very helpful and she kept counting out the minutes when help would arrive. The men were very helpful and did all the usual procedures. They asked if I wanted to go to the hospital. I said no, not if I don’t need to.

M.G., Westland, MI

Mom fell in May and broke her pelvis. When I called Life Alert, she was experiencing extreme pain in her right leg. I didn’t want to take any chances with a blood clot. The EMT’s arrived quickly and determined it was muscle spasms. All the while, Life Alert was communicating with me and gave me a follow up call after the EMT’s left. Good job Life Alert!

B.B., Mcdonough, GA

I recently passed out and fell in the garage. When I awoke, I was sitting on the garage floor. I tried to get up, but couldn’t. I then scooted to the car where I could hold on, but failed to get up. I then pushed the Life Alert button. I waited a few minutes and was able to scoot to the garage side door and unlock it. There was a fireman and 2 EMTs. My son came and my daughter was notified. I did not need to go to the hospital. I am very grateful for my Life Alert.
