I was home alone, decided to eat a bite of peanut butter bread. The bread got lodged in my throat, I could not get it out, I couldn’t speak. I called the dispatcher, they knew instantly that I was choking so help arrived fast. I was taken to the hospital and put on a ventilator and spent 14 days. Doctor said that I was dead as I would ever be without dying. Thank God the dispatcher knew the problem.

I was bending over my recliner and my hand slipped and I fell to the floor and as I am severely arthritic, I could not get up. I pushed the Life Alert button and the operator spoke to me. I told her what had happened and that I needed help to get up. She immediately called for help and then stayed on the line with me. Help came within minutes. All was well. Thank you so much.

J.M., Interlachen, FL

All the fellows who came when I need them are all wonderful fellows. They are all so kind and nice in helping a person in need. I am so glad I have Life Alert. Thank you. They are so nice – I think they need a raise.

My husband fell in the bathroom, landed on his back and hit his head on the way down. I heard him fall from our bedroom. He asked “if” I could help him up. I said “no.” A year ago, when he retired and came home from the hospital following brain surgery, I was forever helping him up from numerous falls - and I was hurting my back, over and over. But now, we have Life Alert, and I just asked him to press the button on his wristband. We were amazed that the paramedics were her in 4 minutes after he set the alarm.

R.G., Orange, CA

3 years after having a hip replacement surgery, my hip popped out of its socket and I couldn’t stand or walk on it. I was stuck standing on one foot until somebody came. With Life Alert, my neighbors were called and they were able to get to me and make me comfortable until the ambulance could get here. The person taking the call was very nice and stayed talking with me until the ambulance came.

While walking, my 104 year old mother tripped and fell. We thought all was well until the next day when she was immobile and in tremendous pain. We called Life Alert and they sent the Fire Department and paramedics to evaluate her. Quickly decided she needed to be transported to the hospital. Life Alert was insistent about staying on the line until help arrived.

I reached up for a clothes hanger. I fell backwards and I fell flat on my back and on my bottom and right leg. I could not get my feet under me. Life Alert got me up in just a few minutes. They checked me over to see if I was alright. I really appreciate them so much.

S.P., Ludlow, MA

I was at my cottage and at about 4:30 am – rolled off the couch and could not get up. Called Life Alert and she responded and said they would stay on the phone with me until help arrived. It took a few extra minutes because of my location in ratio to the nearest response team – they were wonderful and since I did not need medical care – all turned out very well. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I’ve enjoyed [Life Alert] very much and it is a joy to have available to me, it is satisfactory to me and my family to know I’m safe and people there when I need them. They are very kind and helpful to me. I fell 3x in May so I didn’t get hurt bad enough to go to the hospital but the medic’s always ask me if I’m bleeding or really hurt bad. So I’m, very happy to have this unit and my family are also glad they don’t have to worry so much.

Y.V., Knob Noster, MO

My mom couldn’t pull herself up out of the bed. Life Alert staff kept her calm and alerted for help.

Life Alert has very prompt emergency service.

On August 20th, I fell backwards on the bathroom floor. I finally worked until I found my walker which had turned over when I fell. I knew I didn’t do any damage to my hips. I finally got to the side of the bed and sat upright. After ½ an hour or more, I was so tired, trying to stand up – I gave up and pressed my button. In less than 5 minutes later, Life Alert was calling me. Within 15 minutes I was back in bed. But the Life Alert representative made 4 phone calls to check on me.

E.B., Randleman, NC

My 96 year old sister came to spend one night. She is stimulated when she comes and we talk about family. Her husband could not handle her. She would not move to go to bed. She was falling. I am not able to help so I called Life Alert. Two wonderful firemen came, put her to bed. She was very responsive to their kind hand.

J.S., Menifee, CA

I was paralyzed on the floor and could not reach a phone. Luckily, I had my alert pendant and pressed that, and I heard the alert activated and my worries were to open the door to the ambulance. The door was open just in time by a neighbor that had my key!! After that, the ambulance and the ER went ok. I still don’t know what caused my “accident”. But I am ok now – thanks Life Alert!

S.P., Sterling, VA
