My dog awoke me at around 1:30 a.m. and I realized I felt ill. I am a long term type 1 diabetic prone to low blood sugar drops. I could not move, but I could pull the Life Alert pendent into my hand. I squeezed it and immediately the alarm went off and a man was calling me by name asking if I was ok. I was unable to yell for help. The operator then said he was sending medical help, thank God. Soon the paramedics came, they knew to come in the back door and they knew my name. It felt good that they knew my name. The paramedics discussed my medical condition, and knew what to check for because Life Alert had told them. It was very comforting that they knew what to do. I could not talk for a while until my blood sugar was higher. I really, really appreciate Life Alert’s help.

My husband was experiencing chest pain, so I pushed the button on his Life Alert. Within 15 seconds someone was on the phone with me; shortly after, paramedics were at my door. Before we knew it we were at the hospital. Life Alert people are awesome.

I woke up in the middle of the night at 2:00 a.m. and had to turn off my lights by the patio door. I turned away from the door and lost my balance, and fell sitting on the floor. I scooted across the room to try and get myself up. Because of my 2 shoulder and hip replacements I could not get up into my chair. I used my Life Alert and the police arrived and lifted me into my chair. Praise God no pain or broken bones. Thank God for your help.

My brother fell and said his shoulder hurt and was having pain in his right arm and tingling in right fingers, but did not want to go to the hospital. I advised him to go if it was worse or not better by the 3rd day. Before the 3rd day he fell again landing on the same shoulder. He called Life Alert who responded right away. They tried to call my sister but got no response, and then they called me in VA and were very concerned and kind. They explained what had happened and where they were taking my brother.

My wife, who is an amputee, had come out of the bathroom and went to sit on her wheelchair, when it went out from under her (the wheelchair wasn’t locked). This resulted in her falling on her back to the floor. Due to having neuropathy I could not pick her up myself. I pressed the button on her Life Alert and a man answered and stayed on the machine with us till help arrived. A great job was done by this man, very helpful.

P. F., Daytona Beach, FL

I fell about 10:30 on a Saturday night. When I pushed my Life Alert button someone came on the line, and all went quickly. The paramedics came quickly, as I live near a fire station. They picked me up and I was ok, no broken bones, etc. and they left soon after. I was very lucky in that I landed on the carpet. I hope not to repeat this problem again but I know that if I fall again help is there.

L. G., Las Vegas, NV

I can never thank Life Alert enough. One recent morning, I stumbled and fell after getting out of bed. I tried to get up but I could not. I was able to press the Life Alert button and hearing the emergency response was a heavenly response. In just a few minutes, three men were at the door. They knew my code number and got my keys and unlocked my door. Two men lifted the bed while another pulled me out. My pride was hurt but now it’s a funny story. It had a wonderful ending. Thanks to Life Alert.

J. F., Atlanta, GA

I fell and hit my head on a corner of the wall. I was in the kitchen and didn’t think the Life Alert system would hear me because I keep it in my computer room upstairs. But I pushed the button and a voice answered immediately. It was a gentleman who wanted to know what happened. I told him and he said he would have help there immediately, and he did. He called my daughter, who was in a meeting, so they called a neighbor next door who came right away. I was at the hospital right away because the gentlemen had called the ambulance too. They came right away. I had to have 10 staples put in the wound.
