I had fallen getting out of a chair. I could not get up off the floor so I called Life Alert. They were very helpful and I required no hospital visit at this time.

P.M., Mesa, AZ

It was 4a.m. and I tried to get out of bed. I could not stand up and had a lot of pain. I called Life Alert and they stayed on the phone with me and called the Fire Department and EMTs. The operator stayed on the phone with me until the ambulance took me to the hospital. I will never change to another service. Life Alert 100%.

E.G., Rumford, RI

I felt awful. I had severe abdominal pain and I started throwing up. It was different from the usual upset stomach. I pushed the Life Alert button and the paramedics came, examined me, and told me to go to the hospital so I went. A week later I had my gallbladder removed.

S.L., Phoenix, AZ

Why I got Life Alert is because I have seizures and I live alone at home. I was staring at the television and I felt a seizure coming on and I was lucky I did not black out. That’s why I got Life Alert - so the next time it happens I can press the button.

B.M., Philadelphia, PA

I was in church. My right arm started to hurt and I couldn’t breathe. Some friends helped me go outside as I didn’t want to disturb the service. I pressed the button and explained to Life Alert what was happening. They called for an ambulance to take me to the ER.

C.F., Vallejo, CA

When I pressed my Life Alert it was a very short time before someone was at my door. They helped me up and decided to take me to the ER. They were very gentle with me and I appreciated it very much. I was very weak and did not realize it. Thanks to all who helped me.

M.B., Spokane, WA

I became ill in the night and it went on for a couple of hours (vomiting and diarrhea). My daughter thought I should call Life Alert. They sent help immediately and got me to the hospital. I had a viral infection.

R.B., Clarkston, WA

Within days of activation, my new Life Alert button saved my life. I fell down in my den on Sunday evening, May 13, 2018. Unable to get on my feet after some 30 minutes of attempts, I was fortunate in possessing a Life Alert button. Five fire fighters soon arrived. I agreed in going to the hospital emergency room, having a CT scan and MRI upon arrival. This was followed by a second MRI, then by surgery on early Wednesday morning to excise a large meningioma tumor on top of my skull. This has left a horseshoe scar pattern on my head. I stayed in the hospital and rehabilitation hospital for three weeks, from Sunday to Saturday receiving speech, occupation, and rehabilitation therapies at my home. At this time, I have returned to walking some 60 minutes in my neighborhood, unassisted by a cane or walker.

J.G., Indianapolis, IN

I was weeding my flower bed. I lost my balance and fell. I hit my head on a gardening tool which caused my head to bleed. The lady on the phone was pleasant. Terrific response of the ambulance team. I am very grateful.

J.R., Danville, PA

I was pulling weeds out of the flower beds, and I was sitting on a stool and I got too close to the edge. When I started to get up, I lost my balance and fell off. I have supplementary arthritis and I couldn’t get up on my own. Neighbors were gone and I had to call Life Alert. [The paramedics] helped me up and wanted to see if I needed to go to the hospital. I said no.

M.J., Dixon, MO

I was having chest pain and high anxiety. It started in the A.M. on and off. The chest pain was not strong during the whole day until late in the evening. It seemed to get a little stronger and I was now having neck pain down to the shoulder. I decided I should not let this go yet it took me more than 2 hours to call. I did not want to bother them. I did call [Life Alert] and my heart EKG was normal. I had my first panic attack. I have been seeing a counselor which helps me. The fire department are great and kind. Amen to that.

I.R., Henderson, NV

My mother suffers from back pain (always has) – severe deteriorating spine, right side was bad now the left side was severely painful. I (daughter) was at her apartment and thought she should go to the hospital ER. And I knew I was not able to get her in the car, so I pressed her Life Alert and everyone was very helpful.

S.N., Camp Hill, PA

Each time I have used Life Alert services they have been courteous and helpful and always followed through with phone calls afterwards to make sure all is well or if any additional services are necessary. I highly recommend Life Alert.

A.F., Fredericksburg, VA

All my experiences with Life Alert have been excellent. Not one problem. I have used it a lot. Even when I have just called on my GPS when I am walking in a dark area and want an “escort” to my car. One time, I thought I was being followed by a man when in a Metro parking lot, so I called Life Alert on my GPS box [phone], and a dispatcher talked to me all the way to my car. I figured if I needed help, I’d already be connected! She was wonderful and I felt calmer during the walk.

L.J., Reston, VA

I was very impressed at the prompt response when my mother fell and had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance. The response was quick and the Life Alert dispatcher stayed on the line. I was very impressed and grateful for mom’s prompt care.

A.S., Rolette, ND

Dad was outside in the flower garden, when he fell. He was face down, in the dirt, on a hot summer day. He was able to push his Life Alert and call for help. This truly saved his life, as we would not have known of his fall until we called late at night to check on him. Bless you all!

E.R., Dagsboro, DE

I pushed my Life Alert, I knew something was wrong with me. The emergency came and took me to the hospital. TIA. Life Alert helped. Thank you!

My mother fell in her bathroom. When she managed to crawl to her bedroom (wasn’t wearing Life Alert bracelet as she took it off before going in shower) and she located her Life Alert and pressed.

The third time, at night, Life Alert was called when my COPD affected me again and I couldn’t breathe, they saved my life. I don’t know what I did before I had Life Alert. I told a friend about Life Alert and he said he got them.

I fell in my bedroom and couldn’t get up – the [Life Alert] operator asked if I was bleeding or if I felt like I had any broken bones. I did not, but I was very shaken and scared.
