I fell three times in over a week and hit my head and caused bleeding. I pressed the button and help was there in no time. I am very grateful for Life Alert. The best decision we as a family has made.

J.P., Homer Glen, IL

I fell in my bedroom and pressed the [Life Alert] button that was around my neck. Medics came in under 20 minutes. 2 strong medics put me in my chair with no problem.

My husband fell in the bathroom and I couldn’t lift him. Life Alert responded and local help was great. Thank you. My first experience with Life Alert. I’m 83 and in reasonably good health, but I couldn’t help him.

Came quickly after the call. [Life Alert] called my family members. They did the job so well. They are a very helpful asset.

I fell while walking with my walker, I pushed the Life Alert button. You called my sons and my neighbors who met the emergency personnel at my door and let them in. I suffered a broken arm and am now recuperating.

F.W., Gassaway, WV

My latest contact with Life Alert was April 20, at about 9:30pm. My left leg had been hurting for a few days and no matter what I did, that leg would not stop hurting. It got to the point where I could not walk unless I walked on my tip toe and still it was difficult. I had experienced myself with having a few blood clots with my left leg prior to this time. So I thought it was in my best interest to call Life Alert so they could get an ambulance right away in my apartment. Life Alert had an emergency vehicle to my apartment right away. Fire Dept. came first and then the EMT’s. They right away had me on my way to the emergency room. Life Alert always stays on the line with me until the EMT/Fire Dept. arrives. It’s a very well run service. I’ve had Life Alert for almost 2 years now.

J.D., Las Vegas, NV

It was the night before Easter and about 4am, the Life Alert went off and then she heard, “Get out of the house, you have carbon monoxide in the house.” She and my aunt who was visiting got up and got out. Life Alert called the emergency response team and they came and tested. The carbon monoxide levels were very high. She had a new [store bought] carbon monoxide detector and it failed. Life Alert saved my mom and aunt’s, and their pet’s, lives.

S.M., Saint Marys, WV

The Life Alert dispatcher spoke calmly and asked me what my emergency was after she asked if I had an emergency. She encouraged me with her assurance that she would stay with me on the phone until help arrived. She asked about how I was feeling and when the fireman and EMT’s arrived she advised them of my medication allergies. When she was sure that I was in good hands, she and I said goodbye. I thanked her very much.

A.A., Melrose, MA

I do not remember anything. I have a faint memory of being in the ambulance and next thing I knew was in the ER. Life Alert has saved my life at least 3 times now. One time, I was told I died in the ambulance and 2 times with respiratory failure.

P.S., Des Moines, IA

The emergency happened in May [when] I was in the living room headed to the bathroom [and] my slipper came off and I turned and fell. The lady on the phone stayed on the phone until help arrived. I was not bleeding, but fell on the carpet. Help came. [Life Alert] got me on my feet and checked that I was okay and did not need the hospital.

C.W., Greece, NY

My mother fell and she sat on the floor for half hour before she remembered that she had on her Life Alert necklace on. Once she called for help, Life Alert talked to her until help came. She was very shook up, but the staff helping her was able to help her relax. Thank you!

E.B., Marysville, MI

Our experience with Life Alert has been very positive. [My brother’s] voice isn’t loud enough for you to understand what is wrong and you immediately send the ambulance out and called us. You also let us know if he has been transported and if he is okay. He usually just falls.

P.B., Platteville, WI

I am 92 years old. I was walking into my kitchen from my porch, do not know what happened but I fell and could not get up. I used my Life Alert button and you answered immediately and sent an ambulance. When I got to the hospital my sodium level was so low - they did not know how I was still alive. My granddaughter insisted I get the Life Alert, so I owe my life to her and you. Thank you.

D.C., Jackson, TN

I fell in the shower, and could not get off the floor. No clothes on, shower water running. I grabbed the Life Alert button and was connected to Life Alert. 7 minutes later, 3 paramedics were in my bathroom, checking me out, putting me to bed. They called several times during the day to check on me.

O.C., Conroe, TX

I signaled Life Alert that I needed help and she stayed on the phone with me until she heard the EMT’s at my door. She kept me calm while I waited for them. They are always pleasant when I test my equipment. I have recommended Life Alert to some of my friends.

P.S., Philadelphia, PA

P.L., Bartlett, NH

I had fallen and I couldn’t get up. I tried for 15 minutes, but then I remembered I had a Life Alert. They came on the line and next thing I knew I was I being met by ambulance EMS.

I fell on the bathroom floor in route to shower at 8:30am, hit head on tub, was unable to get up. My cell phone was left in bedroom and could not contact anyone. Rang my Life Alert around my neck. They responded loud and clear, they contacted my sister and talked with me. Came to my apartment door and my chain was on, they removed it and got me out of my night gown and bathrobe, I was very frightened. I had fractured my hip. They took me in an ambulance to hospital. My sister arrived and came with us. I am so grateful. I had my Life Alert several years and no need to use it until now. Thank God I had it!

A.H., New York City, NY

My husband had fallen and bumped his head and was bleeding rather hard. I had panicked and I was asking the Life Alert operator to please not leave and he said he would be there and calmed me down. In minutes, the fire dept. were here and just knowing the person was still on the line helped. Thank you.

Leaning over to pick up something from the floor my legs gave up on me and I could not get up. Thank heavens I was wearing my pendant. I have had Life Alert for 8 years and this is the first time I’ve had to use it. I’m 92 in a few days and live alone so it gives me a feeling of security.

M.J., Lincoln, NE

For some unknown reason I began to have a hard time breathing. It got worse and worse. I have no close neighbors to call so I used my Life Alert pin. Life Alert stayed on the line until the ambulance arrived and was getting me ready to transport to the hospital. It was determined that I had a reaction to new medication given to me while in the ER a few days ago before.

E.K., Greenville, TX

I fell head first into the shower stall, hitting the front of my head on the raised edge and then kept going over and hitting the back of my head on the back edge of the shower.

My experience has been good after starting to use it. At first, left it in the house. After falling in the middle of the yard and trying to [get up from the] grass to the house, I keep [Life Alert] around my neck. Just started to fall since last November, wish I could stop. Still hurting pain from last fall two weeks ago.
