Mom fell in the garage and had a large, deep cut on the upper left eyebrow and abrasions on the knees and left side of the rib cage. The Life Alert operator stayed on the phone with me the entire time when paramedics didn’t show up in a timely matter. She called them again and also called my sister, and called back after my mom had reached the hospital. This was above and beyond the call of duty.

E.R., Albuquerque, NM

I fell and I could move for a bit. I was very scared -- thank God for my call button around my neck. I crawled to my phone and got my next door neighbor. By that time, my friends from Life Alert were at my door and took over, got me to the hospital and in good hands. My prayers and thanks to you all.

I got up that morning and I was walking on my walker. I made an awkward turn and I slipped and fell in my kitchen.

P.F., Crockett, TX

I was weeding in my ivy and fell off my walker. I could not get up and was yelling for help. Just when I pressed my Life Alert button, a neighbor came and at the same time two policemen were there to help me. This was the first time I pressed the Life Alert button. I did not know if the Life Alert button would work outside.

J.B., New Milford, NJ

I was very thankful for my Life Alert. I now have a new pendant. I fell in my computer room in my house. It wasn’t very long before the paramedics came. God bless them. I broke my right femur on April 23. Two years ago to the day, I broke my left femur. Life Alert was helping me then. I would and have thought that all handicap and elderly should wear one.

I was sitting at my dining room table coloring about 10:30pm when there was a very loud bang which sounded like it was at the front corner of my house. I didn’t know if it was a gun fire, a firecracker or what but it was so loud and strong it made the windows rattle and I was scared. I called 911, but it took a while. That’s when I called Life Alert and they arrived and checked around the house and garage. They found nothing. Thank you.
