A would-be burglar smashed in the back door at 3:30am on Feb. 28th. I had been asleep in recliner in living room facing that door. Roused by breaking of glass, I ran toward the door, then remembered Life Alert and hit the base transmitter. They had police there (4 of them) in about 5 minutes. Of course, intruder had fled – but police got fingerprints for future reference! P.S. I am 90 years old.

My father slipped off the side of his bed when he got up at night to use the restroom. He knew he was in trouble and pressed his Life Alert button. They stayed on the line with him as they called me (daughter). Then [Life Alert] stayed on the line with me until the EMT’s arrived. He had cracked his pelvis and had a compression fracture of his spine. He is doing well and is on the road to full recovery. Thank you.

While recuperating from a broken hip, my son called and ordered the Life Alert. At that time I said, “I don’t need that.” How wrong I was. He ordered and got it for me anyway. What a blessing! I fell again and broke the other hip while in my garage. Used the Life Alert, and within a short time someone was saying, “Help is on the way,” and the EMS’s were there minutes later.

My mother was walking in the front yard with her cane, turned around to toss a limb in the trash pile and fell backwards. Due to a history of back surgeries, she cannot get up from the ground. To her advantage she was wearing the Life Alert. She crawled on her knees to the front porch, finding that she still could not stand, then she started pushing the Life Alert. I was contacted, but not home then, my son was contacted and arrived at her home the same time EMS staff was helping my mom stand. No serious injuries.
