I received a phone call that mom had activated her Life Alert button and that the police/EMT were notified and on their way. I went over and she was on her bedroom floor unable to get up. Within a minute or two help was there and assessed the situation. Within a few minutes Life Alert was calling to check on the situation, and asked if support had arrived and if we were in need of further assistance. They were wonderful and supportive.

My wife fell in the bathroom 3:00 a.m. Monday 4/02/12. We called Life Alert and they asked, if she was hurt, we said, “No, but needed assistance to get up.” Operator said, “Paramedics will be here shortly.” and they were. She refused a ride to the hospital so they put her back in bed.

M. J., Agawam, MA

When upstairs I tripped and thought I had broken my ankle. I pushed Life Alert alarm, and paramedics came, checked me out, and carried me downstairs and took me to the hospital. I just had a sprain. Thank you.

J. F., Portland, ME

I fell on my kitchen floor and hit my head hard. I believe I was out for a minute or two but I pushed the Life Alert button and received help from the local ambulance service. I spent the night in the hospital, but was sent home by noon the next day. No damage except my pride. However, I now feel even more secure due to your quick response.

N. H., Pittsburgh, PA

I fell trying to get out of bed and hit my head on the nightstand, causing injury to the head and several places. Life Alert system alerted emergency responders and they quickly arrived to transport me to emergency room at the hospital.

W. H., Midland, TX

I passed out in the backyard from a mini stroke. I was outside several hours and it was a cold night, about the coldest night this past winter. The Life Alert call button got pushed (I believe an angel pushed the button). I had fallen straight down like I had sat down. I was completely out. Life Alert got no answered on the phone so they called the ambulance and my sister. I got to the hospital after midnight. Thank you, Life Alert.

B. S., Danielsville, GA

I fell in the kitchen and pressed my button. Ambulance came and took me to the hospital. Life Alert called my daughter and she arrived right after the ambulance. They also called her to make sure she knew I was taken to the hospital.

E. S., Haverhill, MA

My mother was experiencing chest pains and I pressed the Life Alert. The response was immediate, and the person was professional and explained everything happening from Life Alert’s side. Person stayed on the phone and provided specific information to EMTs and waited until they had the situation under control. Life Alert is a life saving system.

I fell, hit my head and could not move. Pushed my Life Alert button and almost immediately they were on the phone. Within 10 minutes the paramedics were here and I was in the ambulance on my way to the hospital. Fabulous. I have told all of my friends about Life Alert.

H. W., Newark, DE

I was sleeping when my house alarm went off at 12:30 a.m. I am 75 years old widowed for the last six years. I pressed my Life Alert button and asked for the police to check out the outside of my house and backyard and garage. I have been living in this house for 27 years and have never had any trouble. They didn’t find anything. I was thankful nobody got into my house.

J. L., Thonotosassa, FL

I fell in my living room and couldn’t get up, so I pushed the Life Alert button. In just a short while the ambulance and police were here and helped me up, but I didn’t go to the hospital. The help was very prompt and done in a friendly manner. I am very happy I had Life Alert.

H. W., Monticello, IA

The room was spinning and my head was also spinning, and I was concerned about a heart attack or stroke. Unable to walk without the fear of falling I called Life Alert. I was hospitalized for 2 days. The cause was inner ear problem and I also had pneumonia.

M. F., Fremont, NE

I had 3 different vagal attacks, one at home alone and one in a restaurant. Life Alert had medics here very fast. I also got phone calls from my children and a follow up from Life Alert. It makes my life more at ease knowing I can get help so fast.

G. R., Tucson, AZ

I am deaf. When my husband had an emergency (heart) he pushed his button. Life Alert notified 911/paramedics and then called our daughter as instructed. By the time I was awakened, the paramedics were giving him first aid, our daughter was on the scene, and our dog was standing guard at the bedroom door. My husband is disabled and ill. If I were to have an emergency he would not be able to respond and/or help me, so the Life Alert serves that purpose for me. We receive a feeling of confidence and well being thanks to this system.

J. J., Santa Clara, CA

I got on my knees to get something under my bed and could not get up. I finally pushed my Life Alert button and within minutes the fire truck came and helped me get up. I was so glad to see them. I know that if I need help there is somebody there to help me in my time of need.

M. L., Tucson, AZ

I have recommended Life Alert to two older ladies who have become your customers. Our experience and peace of mind have made us more comfortable when I need to be away from home. It is very good to know that mom would be safe.

D. F., Pasadena, MD

My wife left a pot on the stove cooking and fell asleep. The smoke detector went off and alerted Life Alert. They called the fire department and me on my cell phone. Everything worked out real great. Thank you.

M. H., Porter, TX

M. S. Clinton, TN

I wasn’t feeling right for a couple of months, so I decided to go to bed. I had been hallucinating didn’t know I had a fever. I got chills, started shaking and couldn’t talk, walk or get out of bed, and both my son’s had just left. So I pushed the Life Alert button. Thank God. I had an unknown virus and a small heart attack. I was in the hospital for 4 days.

K. D., Azusa, CA

I fell on several occasions. Nothing broken and no bleeding parts. After pressing the Life Alert button, within 5-7 minutes, several men arrived and got me to my feet and assisted me into the position I asked. During one episode, my blood pressure and sugar level was taken as well as my oxygen level. Extremely satisfied.

I. B., Las Vegas, NV

Thank God for Life Alert, I live alone with my yorkie, but I fall a lot and have had to have paramedics get me up as I have had both knees replaced plus right elbow and right shoulder and my leg and ankle give way on me. I don’t know what I would do without Life Alert. I wouldn’t be able to live alone and I’m pretty independent or as I say “I’m a tough old bird”.

W. B., Durant, OK

I am 89 years old next month and live by myself. I put some wood in my fireplace, lost my balance and fell backwards; the back of my head hit the coffee table, broke open in 8 places.

I. T., Powell, TN

I was passing from my living room to my kitchen and when I reached the dining room, I lost my balance and fell to the floor. My head hit the hard floor and rendered me unconscious. I sustained a wound on my head, injured my back, and suffered several small wounds. One thing I noted was how quickly the emergency responded. My neighbors also appeared quickly. The Life Alert system works and I am glad for that.

R. G., Winona, MN

I fell in the bathroom, so I pressed my Life Alert necklace button. They heard me fine in the kitchen. They are always very courteous and sweet.

M. S., White Cloud, MI

Although I was using my walker at 2:30 a.m. somehow my left heel slipped causing me to fall backwards hitting my head and other body parts causing me to find myself on my bathroom floor.

His kind, compassionate, voice banished my anxiety.

I live 10 minutes away from mother. She called at about 7:15 a.m. unable to speak or breathe. She has never called me or anyone for help before.

Within a few minutes mother was receiving life saving oxygen and other care.
