I had a very positive experience recently with Life Alert. I always wear my pendant. Recently I fell and hurt my foot and could not get up. I am 85, no spring chicken. I pressed my pendant and the rescue squad responded immediately. The key to my apartment is in a lock box by my door and the fire department had the key to the building and the key to my apartment and they were able to get in without trouble. I was in my way to the hospital in no time. My sister also lives alone and on my recommendation she also has Life Alert and while I hope she never needs it - my experience is comforting to both of us.

A couple of month ago I had allergic reaction to an antibiotic. I took it about 10 at night and started to fix something to eat. 15 minutes later I started to itch a little and then a lot. Then my throat was swelling shut. I knew I didn’t have a lot of time to spare so I pushed the button on my necklace and let Life Alert take over. The girl came on right away and asked me if I needed help. I said, “Yes, I do”, and she called 911. The ambulance was here in record time. She also called my son. I was hooked up to an IV until 3:00 a.m. when they let me go home. The girl who answered the Life Alert signal was a life saver. You people do good work and I have been telling everybody.

I am crippled and wear braces on both legs. I live alone and have trouble walking. I have had several falls and some real bad cuts on my head and bleeding very bad. I cannot get up when I fall. I wear my Life Alert pendant around my neck all the time and always call Life Alert when I need them. They are always here within 10-15 minutes and help me up and take me to the emergency room at the hospital if I need to go (which has been several times). I highly recommend Life Alert to anyone who lives alone or to older couples who live alone. I’m 86 ½ and Life Alert is my best friend.

I left the house and forgot I left a pot on the stove cooking corn beef. I was gone for four hours, and the pot caught fire after the water was gone. This caused the smoke detector to go off, which alerted the fire department and Life Alert. The fire department came and the stove was on fire and they were able to put everything out. Thank you for saving my home.

On April 1, 2013 I fell in my house (bad sprain in right wrist, I thought it was broken). I have two knee replacements and I could not get up, so I called Life Alert for help. They came, along with my neighbor and two techs. They transported me to the ER right away to get checked out. My neighbor later took me home. I am happy to have Life Alert. Thank you.

Because of a fall in my home and ensuing injuries accompanied by excessive bleeding due to medication, I needed Life Alert twice in a week; March 26 and March 29. When I first decided to have Life Alert it was in the event I had a situation when I could not get up. That occasion occurred, unfortunately. Fortunately I had Life Alert to help out for which I am very thankful. Subsequently my medical providers praised my decision and looking back not only was this a good decision on my part, I was so grateful to have Life Alert looking out for me. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

In an attempt to transfer my husband from the wheelchair to the toilet, he slipped very gently right down to the floor. I tried to help him up but to no available. Then I called Life Alert and they immediately replied telling me help was on the way. Shortly after the police arrived, then the EMS and they took care of the situation. Thank you for the prompt service. P.S., my husband was not injured in anyway.

I experienced pain and pressed the Life Alert button and had help immediately. Life Alert was prompt, clear, polite and got help for me right away. I was in the hospital on Wednesday at night, and had a heart stint inserted on Thursday and then I came home on a Friday at night. All is going well and I am grateful to you. Our son is the one who brought this great service for us.

I fell getting out of bed and I couldn’t get up myself. I managed to get to my phone and then pushed the Life Alert button and got a response immediately. Excellent service. My daughter was notified right away. 2 girls and two men came and they checked my vitals and took me to the hospital. I had a problem with my heart. Thank you for the help.

I had a fall on my back in the back hall of my home where I live alone. I can never get up unassisted. I punched my Life Alert button and soon the alarm went off. Life Alert stayed on the phone while I was waiting for the paramedics and rescue squad to arrive. All were very polite and helpful in getting me up. I was taken to the local hospital where I got the word that there was no broken bones.
