Husband was unconscious. Call placed to Life Alert who called emergency; quick response. Ambulance took him to the hospital. Diagnosis was made and he is home today in improved health.
|
Called Life Alert because blood sugar was very high. Staff was there with ambulance. Very prompt, courteous, and efficient. Started a water drip through IV to prevent dehydration. I felt completely secure. Stayed with me until I was attended by hospital staff.
|
I was so weak when I tried to stand up, I slid to the floor. I did not fall. I punched the [Life Alert] button and I could hear them but they couldn’t hear me. It wasn’t long before [EMTs] arrived. They would not let me move until they checked me over, then took me to the emergency room. Very courteous and polite and explained everything they did.
|
On April 1st, I tripped in the hallway in my house on the way to the bathroom and fell on the hardwood floor. I landed on my right hip with my legs tangled under me. (Not very gracefully). I could not get up, it hurt so badly. I had my [Life Alert] call button around my neck and pressed the [Life Alert] button, which was answered immediately and it was all taken care of immediately.
|
Sunday, April 10, 2:30AM, arose to use the bathroom, walked to the foot of the bed and received blackout dizziness. Fell back on bed and called Life Alert. Ten minutes, [EMTs] arrived—made sure I was awake and drove to the hospital. Received excellent care. Paramedics were very concerned.
|
My husband had a stroke about 4AM. He was temporarily unable to wake me so he pushed his [Life Alert] button. When [Life Alert] answered, it woke me and we were able to get help right away. Thank you. It may have saved his life.
|
My aunt had a fall in her bedroom and Life Alert responded immediately. Not only were the paramedics informed and dispatched immediately, but Life Alert made phone calls to myself and my sister to inform us what happened. Life Alert keeps loved ones protected when I can’t be with them.
|
I had been sick a couple days, but by 5:00AM on March 11, 2016, I hurt all over and knew I couldn’t make it to the car (my stepson could drive), so I pressed my Life Alert; response was immediate, and I think only 10 minutes or so when medical response arrived. What a comfort—all those young energetic people.
|
I had a COPD exacerbation and could hardly breathe even though I was on oxygen. I pushed the [Life Alert] wrist button. Life Alert had a rescue team here within 15 minutes. Ambulance took me to the hospital. Life Alert contacted both son and daughter immediately. I was so grateful for the help.
|
My aunt is 91 and lives alone. After a fall, she pressed her [Life Alert] button and Life Alert was prompt with calling EMS and keeping her calm. I don’t know what we’d do without Life Alert. [Life Alert] has called us to let us know about the fall. I strongly recommended Life Alert to/for everyone.
|
Both times, my mom used her Life Alert. It was worth its weight in gold. The first time she had fallen, fractured her wrist and could not get up. The second time, she was having trouble breathing and her heart was racing. Both dispatchers were kind, calm and reassuring that they would stay on the line until help arrived. Thank you so much!
|
I had fallen and my knee was so swollen, I couldn’t get in a car. I called Life Alert, [EMTs] were here in 15 minutes and very professional. I was in a snowing blizzard and they were sure I was warm and very caring to my needs. It was Christmas morning, but didn’t change their professional care. Thank you so much.
|
I fell coming out of bathroom at 2:30AM. I pushed my [Life Alert] button. Life Alert was in contact with me right away. [Life Alert] stayed on the line until the emergency medical people came. It made me feel that I wasn’t alone! I did end up going to the hospital.
|
I lost my balance and landed first on my bottom (at the base of my spine) and then hit my head on the arm of the rocking chair that was close. I didn’t lose consciousness so I tried to get up by myself, but couldn’t, so I called Life Alert and they came quickly and I decided I should go to the emergency room. The EMTs were very efficient and helpful in my decision.
|
I had Life Alert home coverage for over 3 years. I called for help twice during that time due to falls. I was transported to the hospital both times with head injuries and a concussion. Without Life Alert, it could have been much worse! [Life Alert] operators sent help immediately. I do appreciate Life Alert!
|
My mother tripped on her O2 tubing reel and slammed into the entertainment center, fracturing C1 & C2. She is now in rehab with a “C” collar. [Life Alert] stayed on the phone until EMT arrived and notified my brother. Very professional and a relief to know if I hadn’t been home, she would still have had help. Well worth the money.
|
I pushed my [Life Alert] pendant for help. I got help, [Life Alert] stayed on the line with me the whole time until ambulance came to help me get up. “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.” Help came and helped me up and took vitals. I was OK, not bleeding. Thank you for all your help.
|
Client’s caregiver walked out and off the job without telling her and left her alone. After several hours of being alone, she did not know what to do. She remembered her Life Alert. Since she is unable to use the phone (due to blindness), she pushed her [Life Alert] button to get someone to help her. Paramedics were dispatched until I could arrived. Thank you.
|
All I remember is how [Life Alert] stayed right with me all through up to and into [Life Alert] staff calling, “good-bye”, after the EMTs were in the house. [Life Alert] staff never left me alone on the phone. The [Life Alert operator] felt like they lived right at our house. God Bless all of them for their help.
|
I fell after bending over the dishwasher and could not get up. Life Alert called my family and the paramedics - who responded very rapidly. They helped me get to my feet again.
|
My father went into sepsis shock but was able to push the [Life Alert] button on his Life Alert necklace. This was in the middle of the night and he may well had died alone, if not for Life Alert.
|
I was getting into bed when the rug by the bed slipped under my feet and I fell backwards. I couldn’t get up, Life Alert called the people I asked them to and they came right over. Life Alert called the EMTs for us. I wasn’t hurt, thank goodness, and they were able to help me stand. The Life Alert operators stayed with me the whole time. I am very grateful to [Life Alert]. Thank goodness nothing was broken.
|
Uncle went out to get the paper. He fell on the driveway. He mashed the Life Alert button but he couldn’t hear the response and the Life Alert person couldn’t hear him. In spite of that, 911 was called, as well as, me and the others on his list of contacts. The fireman, then the EMTs arrived promptly. All is well.
|
During a severe thunderstorm, the electricity went off, so my oxygen tank couldn’t work. Since the electricity was off, phones didn’t work. So I called Life Alert. [EMTs] were here real soon bringing me some more oxygen. They were so very kind and helpful. I appreciated [Life Alert] very much. I am 85 years old and disabled. Thank you so very much.
|
I fell outside in my driveway. I pushed the [Life Alert] button around my neck, Life Alert called an ambulance. In the meantime, my friends got me to my feet. My hands were hurt and cut. The EMS bandaged my hand, but did not transport me. I went with my son to the emergency room. Thank God for Life Alert.
|
I awoke that morning with pneumonia and did not know I was that sick and I fell and could not get up so I pushed the [Life Alert] button and [EMTs] were there in just a few minutes and took me to the hospital and I am still recovering at my daughter’s home.
|
When I called for Life Alert, help came immediately and helped take me to the hospital. [Life Alert’s] immediate help from all the competent helpers on the ambulance and fire department is a life savior. I am very thankful. Thank you very much for being here for us. I am always recommending Life Alert to all my friends and neighbors. Thank you very much. Two of my friends are now [Life Alert] members.

I fell and was very weak. I called Life Alert and they said an ambulance would be to my house very quickly and it did get there in just a few minutes.
|
I fell. I had my [Life Alert] necklace on. I was answered right away. Help came as fast as 5 minutes. There were firemen and ambulance came next and helped me up. I was checked out and asked if I wanted to go to the hospital to be checked. I refused. I am fine now, just a sore on my head where I landed.
|
I slipped on water! Fell and could not get up. The operator on Life Alert called my son to tell him of the incident. I was fine! Thank God. And the operator was on the line with me until help arrived! She was very pleasant and soothing! [Life Alert] even called that night to make sure I was still alright. Thank you all! God Bless [Life Alert]!
|
I fell out of bed and there was nothing to grab onto to get me up. If I didn’t have my Life Alert chain around my neck, I don’t know how long I could have lied there before someone might have come along to visit to find me there on the floor, helpless. Life Alert was there in a shake of a lamb’s tail and I’ll never be without it!
|
I stepped on a scorpion, I called Life Alert, and they stayed on the phone with me until paramedics arrived to keep checking if I was OK. Paramedics were great, stayed for a while to make sure I was OK. Very caring and supportive. Life Alert called back after a while to make sure I was OK. Very happy I have Life Alert.
|
I was sitting in the floor putting newspaper in a recycle bag and couldn’t get up. My legs would not hold me, I scooted around on floor thinking my legs would start working, but they didn’t. I finally pressed my Life Alert button which I had on my neck. [Life Alert] responded immediately. Thank you so much!
|
I had had two incidents and had fallen down in my bedroom. I was trying, both mentally and physically, to go about getting up from the floor. The Life Alert call button had been inadvertently activated in my tumble. The two EMTs or paramedics helped me to get up. They were kind, great, etc.
|
I am a widow and live alone. I came down for breakfast and had a case of diarrhea. I called my friend and asked him to get me some Imodium tablets. The loose bowels just couldn’t stop to the point that I passed out and my friend pushed the help button on my Life Alert. I had help within 5 minutes. Thank God and Life Alert.
|
An intruder was trying to get my door knobs and windows to see if they were unlocked. I pressed my Life Alert button and they left when they heard the voice on the intercom. [Life Alert] operator stayed on the line until police arrived. I convinced my friend to get a Life Alert.
|
The first time, while sleeping on my back, my [Life Alert] alarm went off. The technicians and dispatchers all were understanding—most courteous! The other time, my daughter left bacon burning. We received the [Life Alert] signal and a telephone call, instantly! Life Alert is the best! Life Alert—where no one sleeps on the job! Life Alert remains ALERT—so we can live!!
|
My mother has a very difficult time walking and has fallen several times. When she falls, she is unable to get up and Life Alert has the fire department responding to her needs. I live thirty miles away from mom and the [Life Alert] service allows her to live a little longer in her home of 45 years. Thank you.
|
When my husband had fallen and became unresponsive, I pushed the Life Alert button. Almost immediately someone responded and after determining that there was an emergency, help was on its way. It was comforting to know [Life Alert] stayed on the line, encouraging me until help arrived.

My mother was experiencing severe back pain due to a pulled muscle. Life Alert was summoned and tried to contact the family as requested. When no family answered their phones, because we were sleeping, Life Alert contacted 911 and an ambulance took my mother to the emergency room.

I was in the bathroom and left leg got numb. I got up and fell down between the bathroom and my bedroom. I pushed my [Life Alert] button. The man got on the line and asked me if I was alone. I said no. He said he would stay on the line until the ambulance came.
|
I tripped exiting a bathroom. Fell hard against door causing two cracked ribs and a dislocated finger on my left hand. Pushed my [Life Alert] button and fire men were there in minutes to get me on my feet. I later went to the doctor and discovered the fractured ribs. I thank Life Alert and the faithful firemen.
|
My wife discovered that she could not walk or place any weight on her left leg. Her care-giver insisted she go to the emergency room for evaluation. Since we had Life Alert, we informed them to call the ambulance. Turns out, she had somehow dislocated her knee, it was later determined that the knee cap was cracked. She is presently in a nursing home awaiting further surgery.
|
At 12:30am, I heard something trying to enter my home through a locked front door. After several terrifying minutes and not knowing if they had gained entry, I activated my Life Alert neck pendant. Two representatives responded. One of them checked the rooms and the other representative stayed to console me. She stood by me until the police arrived.
|
I never expected to have to ever call an ambulance but I did. Every area of my experience was exactly as advertised. I was so pleased and have more confidence than ever that if an emergency occurs, I can get help from [Life Alert]. Everyone who lives alone should have [Life Alert’s] service without a doubt. Thank you.
|
My father fell because he was dizzy. My daughter went to check on him. He asked that she call me or [Life Alert]. She called me and I told her to push the Life Alert button. By the time I got home, paramedics were already there taking his vitals and transported him to the emergency room.
|
I was sitting in a rocking chair and was reaching for the bottom shelf and slid off to the floor. For some reason, I could not make my legs work to get up. I was not hurt—just could not get up. Called for [Life Alert] and rescue people came and helped me up. Felt foolish—but help was good. Life Alert kept in touch with me the whole time.
|
My mom fell into the bathtub at night and was able to push her [Life Alert] button. Life Alert responded to my mom and notified us immediately. The ambulance was already there as we arrived. I did recommend [Life Alert] to my mom’s neighbor who also lives alone and is elderly.

My mom had two emergencies. I used Life Alert to get help with the ambulance and fire department. [Life Alert] were very helpful and made the communication process easier. The information exchange was a lot faster and easier between Life Alert and the paramedics.
|
I have severe COPD. Recently I experienced an inability to breathe and had to get to a nearby hospital right away. So, I pushed the [Life Alert] red button on my pendant. The [Life Alert] operator answered right away. I briefly explained my emergency. The ambulance was here in minutes, and I was in the ER within a half-hour.
