I live alone. I walk with the aid of a walker. I was taking hamburger patties to the cooktop - lost my balance and fell. I punched my button I wear around my neck at all times - the girl on Life Alert called for help for me and help arrived pretty fast. I was not hurt, just my glasses and pride - also bruises.

P.F., Groom, TX

The benefits from Life Alert are amazing. The several times I have used Life Alert have been a God send. Several times I have had chest pain and had fallen a few times. The people there were efficient and took care of my needs with kindness and efficiency. Thank you!

L.K., Sterling Heights, MI

I fell on jagged pebbles behind my back steps. I was unable to lift myself onto the steps. Luckily, my back door was open, because when I pushed my Life Alert button, the lady who answered assumed the worst and soon a fire engine and ambulance arrived and the man lifted me up and into the house. I ended up with a slightly cracked right rib cage, which is now pretty much healed.

G.T., Sunnyvale, CA

On 5/23/2019 I was seated at my kitchen table talking on the phone. After my phone call, I tried to arise when my chair slipped out from under me. I fell to the floor hitting my head on the kitchen tile floor. I couldn’t arise or move my left leg (my niece found me 1 hr later).

I was on the golf course and my partner, who owned her own cart, was driving. We were going to the next hole. I had my left leg in the cart only and she sped away, throwing me back on the gravel path. My purse was in the cart, and Life Alert in my purse, and someone saw it and called Life Alert. Your company sent the paramedics, and called my daughter and my son. I broke 3 bones in my hip. Had surgery with a rod and 3 screws. I am grateful to Life Alert.

B.S., Coconut Creek, FL

I was doing fine sitting in chair and all of the sudden horrific pain came between my bust!! I [thought] it was indigestion, as I have had before, so I waited and it got worse, so after two hours I called and then text my friend and she arrived and said to call Life Alert, so I did. They came in no time and after good checkup I went to the hospital. Had all kinds of shaped stones taken out!! Thank you!!

We have had several incidents where my mother had fallen and pushed her [Life Alert] button. As Life Alert was instructed, they immediately called me and were able to assist her.

On 5/21/2019, I was trying to clean my bathtub and I fell into the tub. I was unable to get out. I pushed the [Life Alert] button. The dispatcher got my call. She called for emergency response. They couldn’t help because I didn’t have a lockbox. She then called my daughter. My daughter called my husband who was at a doctor appt. The dispatcher kept calling my name and trying to get me to response. She was very helpful. My alert box was broken. The dispatcher then called police and fire department. By this time my husband had arrived home. The emergency response people got me out of tub. The dispatcher was very good during her job.

B.P., Mt Pleasant, SC

I am 91 living alone when I fell, and pulled a hamstring and twisted my knee. I knew immediately that I needed to use my Life Alert for the first time in six years. How thankful I am that I had it. The young man on line stayed with me until the ambulance arrived. Thanks so much.

A.V.Y., Bellingham, WA

I am so grateful for Life Alert. After having a nasty fall this past March, it required a week in the hospital and 23 days in a rehab facility. While in rehab, I told everyone that lives alone, they should have Life Alert. I can’t believe people are too proud to admit they need help. Thank you and God bless you for the service you provide.

M.C., Hamilton, NJ

On the morning of Mother’s day, I got out of bed and got my feet tangled and fell on my back getting my body “wedged” between the bed frame and the mechanical reclining chair. I could not move in ANY direction. I could not turn my body over to get on my hands and/or knees. The more I struggled the more panicked I became! Luckily, I was wearing my Life Alert pendant. I pushed the button and Life Alert contacted the fire department to “rescue” me!

E.H. Rocklin, CA

I hadn’t been feeling well all that day, so I decided to go to urgent care to see what was going on. I have a history of asthma, and the pollen was very high that day. I had taken breathing treatments and was using my rescue inhaler, but nothing was working. I was gasping for air and began feeling very strange. I hit my Life Alert button and rep came on immediately. I gasped, “I can’t breathe; I can’t breathe!” They said they would send help and I apparently passed out because the next thing I knew there were firemen in my living room and EMS was giving me oxygen, I was taken by an ambulance to the hospital where I remained for four days, I was suffering with COPD and pneumonia. I am so grateful that Life Alert saved my life.

D.M., Saint Louis, MI

While I was standing on a chair to change a light bulb in the ceiling fixture, I stepped backwards and went straight down on my right leg and broke my ankle. I did not lose consciousness and pressed my Life Alert button. When I was not sure if I was heard, I crawled on my belly to where I could hear the Life Alert attendant telling me help was on its way. Thank you!

L.B., Beaufort, NC

Mom was having trouble breathing so she pressed her Life Alert button. They answered right away and sent the paramedics and fire department to her aid. The attendant stayed on the line until help arrived and they knew she was okay and on her way to the hospital. My sister and I were notified by Life Alert and were able to meet her at the hospital emergency room.

D.J., Long Beach, CA

My mother was having a seizure (result/affects of a new medication) and we tried calling 911 on our home phones, but was placed on “HOLD.” When we hit the Life Alert alarm we had immediate contact with a representative and the ambulance arrived within minutes. I’ve recommended Life Alert to several folks as a result of this one event.

M.B., Oakland, CA

I had a stroke. I was so thankful for Life Alert, as I have a cell phone and I didn’t have to find it. All I had to do was push a button that was hanging around my neck. Thank you God and Life Alert.

R.R. Sidney, OH

I fell in the middle of the night. I got up with the walker to shut the door, the night lite was bothering my sleep, and went backward with my walker. I rang my bell for Life Alert, they answered promptly. I was promptly surrounded by the fire department, police, and the ambulance crew. My husband never woke up! I sent them to wake him. I soon found out I had broken 3 ribs, oh, how they hurt.

P.S., Camp Verde, AZ

I got weak, short of breath, and was shaking. Felt like I was going to pass out. I pressed my [Life Alert] button and the person that was on line said they would call ambulance. They called every person on my list. Called [friend] and told her what was going on and would keep her updated. Ambulance arrived and so did two people on my list. Was very satisfied with service.

T.B., Moultrie, GA

A hit and run knocked down power to a phone line-mainline, dead. I checked my cell phone, Dead, Panic!! I then called Life Alert on the base - they helped by contacting my daughters and grandson, my daughter who was at work had been trying to call - was worried, so after contact from Life Alert, she was able to come home. They were so gracious about helping me - they stayed with me until my daughter came home. This so helped, kept us from a “Big Time Panic!” Hard to express how much [Life Alert] relieved us, good to know they were there.

J.H, Temple, TX

I fell off a step going up to my bed which is high. When I did, I got stuck under the nightstand. My son had left the house so I was alone…until my Life Alert sent for an EMT, which they then sent for an ambulance. I had two broken ribs, and two broken fingers. Thank you, Life Alert. They, by the way, located my son and he met me at the hospital.

N.B., Browns Valley, CA

I was in the kitchen making a meal, when I got dizzy. I pushed the Life Alert button and I passed out. I don’t know how long but somehow [EMS] got into the house and I couldn’t get up, I tried and tried. Thank you, Life Alert. I really appreciate your help. I spent five days in the [hospital] and I’m feeling better, but need to see a neurologist.

N.K. Dudley, MA

I got sick during the night, was getting weaker by the minute. Talked to a Life Alert person after I pushed the button, and the EMS was at my door. They took me to the hospital where they diagnosed me as having a bad stomach virus. I feel save with Life Alert. Thank you.

R.A. Spring Hill, FL

I was having problems breathing, contacted Life Alert and was helped, with help from fire department and EMS, within minutes. Thank you for being there for me.

N.R. Spencerville, IN

I cut the tip off of one of my toes with much hemorrhage. Life Alert responded immediately and I arrived at the emergency room. The pendant allowed me to request help immediately. Without it, I would have taken several minutes to access and press the “help” mode.
