My right knee gave out; I couldn’t walk- Called Life Alert; the EMT’s came, took me to the [hospital] – I was admitted for the knee. Life Alert stayed on the line with me and the EMT’s were here, in about seven minutes. I’ve had Life Alert since June of 2015.
|
Shortly after receiving my Life Alert, I had a weak spell. I managed to get myself to the bathroom with a walker. My husband tried to assist returning me to my chair. He forgot to lock the walker. I fell backwards while my husband fell on top of me and walker. I pushed my [Life Alert] button. Within a few minutes the [EMS] was there, checked us out, and were on their way. Wonderful job.
|
I fell and broke my hip around the end of May. Pushed the button and in no time an agent was talking to me, I just had to say it. I fell and can’t get up. I just had to laugh. The operator stayed with me until the paramedics got to me home. It was comforting to have someone to talk with until they arrived.
|
Life Alert responded several times this past year and they are extremely courteous and handle everything from their end. The EMT’s are already on site when I get to my dad’s home fifteen minutes after they call me. [Life Alert] call me all through the incident up until my dad’s arrived at ER.
|
My dad fell in his bathroom recently, he used his Life Alert that he wears around his neck. Life Alert contacted me and by the time I got to dad’s apartment, the paramedics and the ambulance were already there. Thank you!

Mom was outside watering her plants and tripped over the hose. Fortunately, she was wearing her Life Alert pendant and immediately began pushing it. All the equipment is in the house so she wasn’t sure it would work, but it did! Within minutes, the ambulance was there. She’s now the owner of two rods and screws in her leg/hip and recovering well. Thank goodness for Life Alert!
|
I fell on my front porch and could not get to my phone. I pushed the button on my life Alert and they called EMS, my daughter, granddaughter, and my son-in-law. They were all there really fast. I would have laid on my porch for at least a day before someone checked on me again. Thank you.
|
I lost my balance and fell into the bathtub. My legs were on the outside, one arm was bleeding and stuck under me. I could only move one arm, and could not get up. [Life Alert] summoned the fire dept, and they got me up, and transported me to be checked. No serious damage. Their description of me was I looked like a turtle on its back.
|
As I was transferring from my scooter to the lift chair, I fell. At that point, I called Life Alert. They asked if I was hurt, but I wasn’t. Both EMS and the fire department responded. The Life Alert operator stayed on the line until their arrival. Everyone on my contact [list] was contacted.
|
I live alone and fell. I hit my [Life Alert] and within two or three minutes my neighbor was coming in and within five minutes the rescue squad arrived. I was impressed with the quick response time.
|
My mother felt like she was having a heart attack while being alone. She pressed her button, and before I could get there, the paramedics were already there. She was rushed to the [hospital] and was diagnosed that she did, in fact, have a heart attack. Thank you, Life Alert, for your dependable services.
|
The very first 24 hours after receiving Life Alert, I got my wheelchair wedged in my galley style kitchen. Life Alert sent paramedics who freed my chair and allowed me to go on with my day. Without their help, I would not have had access to the bathroom or to food or drink!

It was 1:30 AM on 9/18/2019 and I was experiencing chest pain. I pushed the Life Alert button and my call was answered immediately. While I explained my condition, your agent told me that help was on the way. In a short time, police and ambulance arrived. It was decided that I needed to be hospitalized. You agent contacted my daughter and gave her all the information about me. At the hospital, it was determined that I had a blood clot in my lung. Thank you. Every senior citizen should have this device.
|
No big deal. I became lightheaded, lost my balance, thankfully landing on my rear (which is well padded) and no damage done. I pressed the [Life Alert] button on my pendant. Help arrived soon, they got me on my feet and since no damage was done, they were soon on their way out.
|
I got sick, I pressed the Life Alert button and help arrived ASAP. The people at Life Alert were marvelous in keeping me calm, and stood with me until help arrived.

I have a system that lowers me into the bathtub- it worked to lower me, but I apparently did not secure the mechanism completely after recharging the battery. It lowered me down but would not raise me. I pushed the bath button and Life Alert responded ASAP. The EMT’s arrived and got me out. Thank you all!
|
She tripped while in the bathroom. She always wears her Life Alert button around her neck, so she pressed the button. Life Alert notified me, and I went over to the house, they are always very nice!

My brother tried to call the police but the phone wasn’t working so I said, “Let me press my Life Alert button,” and in a couple of minutes, the police and ambulance arrived. The lady was hurt a little. Life Alert has been really fast and help is only a couple of minutes away. In the past when I fell and was bleeding because I hit my head on a piece of furniture, Life Alert was always right there. I thank you all so much for always being there.

My mom, [Patient] is 102 years old and has Type 2 diabetes. I am 76 years old and have had Type 1 diabetes for almost 45 years. We have used Life Alert several times in the past, for several reasons, and we would not want to live without it! Thank you for always being there for us.

I was stretched out on the bed- fully clothed- for a rest. The whole ceiling of sheet rock fell. I was not injured but was covered with insulation and surrounded by pieces of sheet rock. I could not get up- hard to breathe. I pressed Life Alert which was around my neck and rescue was there in minutes and rescued me.

My blood pressure dropped real low and I fainted hitting my head and rupturing my spleen, which resulted in having to have emergency surgery to remove my spleen.

On Tuesday morning, September 3rd, I walked outside my door onto a concrete step. When I turned to re-enter my home, I lost my balance when I stepped upon the concrete step. I fell in the mulch between the step and a bush. I could not get up, so I pushed the button on my Life Alert. The [EMS] arrived within fifteen minutes, and two policeman helped me get up and get into my home, noting that I could walk; and although bleeding from my chin, I seemed not too seriously injured.
