My husband was in the backyard with his walker and he fell. I was inside and did not know. He called me but I didn’t hear him, so he pressed his Life Alert. The inside monitor came on and I immediately realized what had happened. I pressed cancel and went outside. Life Alert called us to check with us about what happened and waited while I tried to get him up. I wasn’t able to get him to his feet and told Life Alert. She asked me few questions and we decided to call 911. She told me they were coming and stayed with me until they did. She talked to one of the firemen. There was a follow up call later. I really felt we had been taken care of and the stress of the whole situation was greatly lessened. Thank you.

[Life Alert] stayed on the line with me until the EMT’s arrived. Later they called all of my contacts and told them my situation and said they would call them back when they knew my condition. I didn’t know they did this, but I was grateful and my contacts were as well. Thank you!!

I had fallen, couldn’t get up! I worked my way out to the back porch where a handicap rail is, but still couldn’t get up. I pushed [Life Alert] button on neck alarm, but could not hear a respond and was too far away. After few minutes, I was called on my cell phone. I managed to keep it in my packet. I was assured help was on the way. Call was returned a few minutes later, sweet voice on phone. Help arrived shortly. Thank you!

My daughter, who is now living with me, has a lot of health issues. On this day she was having chest pains and pain down both arms. She was taken to the hospital and was hospitalized for 6 days. I was very scared but, the lady from Life Alert stayed on the phone with me the whole time. I was very thankful for this.

C.C., Cottage Hills, IL

I was in the restroom and had fallen, was able to get into a sitting position. Unfortunately, I have no strength in my legs. I was home alone and was unsure how I would be able to stand up. As embarrassed as I was, I called Life Alert. Treated with utmost respect. It seemed that immediately they were at my home. Thank you. God Bless your help!

My glucose dropped to 35. I was very confused, felt very light headed. I went to fridge to get some juice and got confused couldn’t remember what I was there for, so before I passed out I got to living room, laid down, and pressed my button for Life Alert before I passed out. Last I heard was the call from Life Alert from the main big unit and then red phone. Was too far gone to respond. The ambulance and paramedics from fire department used my lock key to enter my house. They did EKG, and insulin to wake me up on my hand. Life Alert contacted my son and daughter and called my brother who lives close by. This is my 4th episode with low blood sugar. Thank God for Life Alert and the fire department – I owe my life to all! They told me I did what I was supposed to do. Have a key box on my door and second push Life Alert button. Thank you, Life Alert. My son got the unit for me because I live alone! Have a pacemaker/deliberator and have a machine that monitors my heart 24-7 so I’m well taken care of – so glad!!

My mother was home alone, I was at my doctor’s appointment. Mom was shaking and sick. She pushed her Life Alert button and was sent help immediately. You have a wonderful program and all elderly or sick ones should know about your prompt and courteous response in a matter of minutes.

L.P., Gray Court, SC

While feeling extremely cold, my son realized I was quite hot. Heart attack seemed probable, so son pushed my button – the person at Life Alert was quickly responsive. What seemed like less than 10 minutes, an ambulance and several caring people whisked me off to the hospital. Apparently, a serious infection. A few days in the hospital, lots of antibiotics – and I’m home. Thank you!!

L.R., Severance, CO

[Sister] fell, broke her hip and was unable to move. By pressing her Life Alert button she was able to obtain help and an ambulance. Life Alert also contacted her stepson who was able to notify the rest of the family of the situation. Before the ambulance left her house someone was already present to accompany her to the hospital. Thank you!!!

P.B., Norman, OK

I tripped over the laundry cart as I was taking food into living room, and food flew all over carpet and I laid there. I called Life Alert and they helped me up and even cleaned up and asked if I wanted to go to ER. I said no, I signed a paper and they said if I changed my mind they would come back in 5 minutes. Very excellent manners and respectful.

P.S., Lake Mills, WI

My handicapped brother fell on his front porch and broke his hip. He was alone at the time and praise God he had Life Alert. He pressed the button and Life Alert responded immediately. They dispatched EMT’s to his apartment and he was taken to the hospital. He is recovering fine now after his surgery. Thank you so much. I would recommend Life Alert to all handicapped and elderly people who live alone or have to be left alone for any period of time. It does give a sense of security knowing that someone will respond right away. I cannot say thank you enough. I would hate to say how long my brother may have laid there before someone saw him and got help. Thank you!

Life Alert is fairly new to me as I have only had it for a couple of months. But I have already had to call them three times. The last time made me really appreciate them. I fell off the porch onto a concrete drive way. I had a huge knot on my head and one elbow was cut. Life Alert got the first responders here in a hurry. They got me up and to the ER very quickly. I had a few x-rays and it was determined that my injuries weren’t as bad as I was afraid they were. I had a few stitches and was released. I will and have already recommend Life Alert to a number of people. May God bless all of you.

Sudden fall off front porch of my home. Landed on stone side walk. Broke right hip. My son had arranged for Life Alert in my home. Was wearing the neck pendant. Paramedics and firemen arrived within 5 minutes. So grateful. I am alone and feel so secure having Life Alert. Thank you.

B.S., Yachats, OR

My father fell and broke his femur (hip) and could not reach the phone, so he pressed his Life Alert button on his necklace. Family was all contacted and paramedics responded immediately. My father takes Coumadin to prevent heart/stroke issues from occurring. Coumadin thins the blood so dad was bleeding into his leg from the break. If Life Alert was not used he would have bled to death. He lost a quarter of his blood volume as it was! I have been singing the praises of Life Alert to everyone! Thank you!

R.D., Fort Atkinson, WI

I fell in the bathroom around 3:00 a.m. – I could not get up on my own no matter how I tried to do so.

I was sitting in the bathroom. When I got up to leave, I struggled a bit to get up and turned my foot out to the left. My knee buckled and twisted way over to the left. I heard a crack, lost my balance, and luckily I have a tall wooden pole top to bottom of the ceiling and I hung onto that before falling on my tile floor. The pain was tremendous. I called [Life Alert] and the person on the phone was very helpful. They were able to get an ambulance as soon as possible. Your service is fantastic!
