Over the years that I’ve had Life Alert, I’ve only needed it three times. Life Alert was here within eight to ten minutes, and took me to the hospital. I’m 89 years old and a widow. I live alone so I’m very grateful for Life Alert.

My mom, [patient], walked out her front door on 9-21-19 and fell a few feet from her door. She landed in the rose bushes that had concrete borders along the edge. She broke two bones in her left arm. The bone doctor said the concrete borders caused the break. The paramedic had a time pulling the bush off of her shirt. She’s 89 years old and she pushed the button and help came in about three minutes. This was the first time she used the Life Alert and it paid off big time. Thanks a million.

My father slid off a reclining chair and was unable to get up. With Life Alert, response from local fire department was almost immediate. It was comforting to know someone would respond when a loved one needed it.

The day before Thanksgiving, I was frying some hamburger on the stove, then I went outside for a few minutes, and I forgot I had them on. I heard the smoke alarms go off, when I came inside the house was filled with smoke. I knew what had happened, I forgot about the hamburgers on the stove. The lady from Life Alert came on the machine and ask if I needed help, I told her yes. I open all doors, windows and also turn on the fans. The fireman came, the chief also was here in no time. I have to say I was lucky they came. I’m proud to have someone close by. Thank you all for your service and to the fireman that came. Thank you again.
