Oct. 20-2018 I had a heart attack – Life Alert saved my life – the emergency help arrived within minutes to help me. The dispatcher stayed on the line and kept checking with me. All I remember saying to her was I can’t breathe – I have pain and pressure all across my arms and chest. I fell asleep while watching TV – next thing I remember – awakened to falling, hitting my head on coffee table and could not get up. M.M., Fresno, CA
I fell in my bathroom in the middle of the night. I pressed the button and Life Alert responded. Although the door was open you couldn’t hear me. You called (my town’s first responder is the fire department) and an ambulance also responded. You also called my sons, one of whom came and took me to the ER. No damage, all is well. I.D., Forest Grove, OR
Life Alert responded to smoke coming from a pot of water, no danger, everything turned out okay. Monitors excellent. Communication between parties involved, quality, caring, understanding each other. Excellent follow up. Thank you. B.H., Winter Haven, FL
I fell and broke my ankle. Life Alert constantly kept in contact with me to make sure I was all right and also made sure my husband was ok. The ambulance crew had all my information and I didn’t have to deal with many questions. S.B., Menomonie, WI
My brother was having “vertigo” and is crippled, started having “black-outs” and fell in the bathroom. He’s a large person, so I called “Life Alert” from his medallion for help getting him up and to emergency room in record time! Thank you!! C.B., Clayton, NC
I fell in the bathroom and was not able to get up. I pushed my Life Alert pendant button and told the operator about my emergency. They sent an ambulance over. I was not certain that the paramedics would know how to get my house key, so I pushed myself on my back to the front door to unlock it. They promptly arrived and helped me into my transport chair and then into my lift chair. They checked me over to make sure that I wasn’t seriously injured and gave instructions about how to transfer safely. In the course of a conversation, I discovered that they were aware of how to get a key to unlock my front door, so I won’t worry about that next time. My experiences with Life Alert have been excellent! R.M., York, PA
I was sitting on my walker while cleaning out a big kitchen drawer when something fell to the floor, I reached down to pick it up when my walker went out from under me (I had forgotten to put the brakes on). My husband helped me sit up, but I didn’t want to wait for my son who was coming over. So I punched my Life Alert button and got help. They helped me get up and I was just fine. M.O., Newaygo, MI
My mom was running a fever, she was weak and unable to sit up on her own – at 90 years old I’ve learned to get her to the ER ASAP. Life Alert responded immediately, calling for help and staying on the call with me while we waited. The gentleman at Life Alert was very helpful! H.F., Mount Kisco, NY
Mom fell off the bed trying to get to the restroom. I called Life Alert. The staff contacted EMTs and stayed on the phone until arrival. My experiences with Life Alert has always been positive. The staff is very professional and caring. They are courteous and helpful. I recommended Life Alert to my co-workers. E.L., Jamaica, NY
When I woke up on March 13, 2019, I was dizzy, everything was spinning. I went to my doctor and he said to go to the ER because it could be caused by many things. I called Life Alert. They came quickly, were very kind, took me to the ER, and stayed with me until I got into a room and a nurse took care of me. E.D., Stockbridge, GA
