Emergency Services Offered
Services we offer
Medical Alert Systems for Seniors (sometimes referred to as "Life Alert" Systems). Personal emergency response medical alert systems. GPS Medical Alert Systems. Automatic Fall Detection Medical Alert Systems.
When dispatched, the first responders are given the combination to retrieve the key. This works just perfectly as she fell and could not get up while my dad was on an errand. The first responders were able to get the key, enter the house and provide assistance to my mother. Another time, she fell and busted her head open in the middle of the night. My dad could not hear her so she pushed her button and the first responders arrived in less than 5 minutes. My mother tests her unit every month and she has had to use it 3 times in the past 2 years. Everyone is always so nice and helpful. There are cheaper products out there but I have had such good service with this group of people that I intend to keep them. The system has battery back up in case of power outage and my mother can use the button for any emergency whether it be a fire/smoke, intruder, falling or any medical emergency that she feels that she needs help.
Description of Work: I had this company send out a monitoring unit and emergency alert bracelet and necklace to give my mother a secure feeling when she was at home by herself. They also sent a combination lock box that attaches to her door handle to put a house key in it.

The system works well and I've tested it twice so far and they answer very quickly after I press the button. The only reason I gave them a B overall rating (instead of A) is because something wasn't clear in their ad. The button one wears around the neck must be accompanied by a separate unit. That unit is what you talk to and you have be within 350 feet of it. This means you have to take that unit with you in your purse (or somewhere) when you leave your house. Would rather have everything in the unit you wear around your neck. I don't think this was clear in their ad (or even when I spoke with them about the deal).
Description of Work: They promptly provided a medical call alert system for one year that I bought as a deal through Angie's list.

All aspects of the service were excellent. I most divinely would recommend this service to other and have. Our overall experience has been great. There is one thing I would change, when the 800# comes up there is no title. Where most phone systems today have a preview pane or it comes up on your tv, if it said something as simple as med alert, it would be helpful.
Description of Work: We have had to use the Medic Alert System twice now.

The unit was easy to set-up. The monitoring staff did an excellent job. Several times mother would accidently press the help button on her monitor and the monitoring staff reached out to her immediately. She often remarked that the people were friendly and answered all of her questions. Mother has moved to a location where a personal monitor is no longer necessary. Otherwise, I would continue the service.
Description of Work: I set up this service in my mother's home in 2012 and just ended the agreement a couple of weeks ago.

It has been fine. I like that there is help if I fall and can't get up. Their responsiveness is fine. I had some problems with it but they promptly sent me a new one. They will help with any kind of problem you might have.

It is great. They are very nice about giving me information. I'm very satisfied. They are even on the ball if I accidentally press the button. Recently, they replaced part of the box. I've used the alert system for 2 years.

I'm not sure if I really need it. When we've done the tests it seems like a long time until someone gets on the phone. It doesn't connect to a satellite. Mine goes around the perimeter of the yard.

It's been really good. It gives me security that if she falls it will work. We didn't have to sign a contract. The button that she has has a microphone on it and they ask if she wants them to call family when she pushes it. I also like if it's pushed and she doesn't answer they will automatically send someone out. They check it regularly. We have been very pleased.
Description of Work: We got the medical alert for my mother.

It is absolutely fantastic. It's the best in the world. I contacted them during the night and left a message. They called me the next morning. Debbie was very involved and offered to come to me to help set everything up. My aide was able to help me. It was very easy to set up and there are plenty of videos online. They worked with me on the price and are flexible. I received the email confirmation which was beautifully written out with everything we talked about. Debbie emailed me that night to make sure everything was ok. I still have to decide if I want to use the lock-box. They all have a genuine attitude. The pendant that I got, I can use it as a phone temporally. It came with a rechargeable battery and the charger is part of the unit. I can go throughout my house and yard. I can even go to a neighbors and it will reach. It is an amazing system. I have already tested it. I am slight paying more than what I had previously with another company but it's extremely worth it. They have superb two way communication due to a built in miniature microphone in the pendant.
Description of Work: I have a medical alert system with them. I wear a pendant all the time. I have a box unit.

All we've done so far is test the system and that went well. My mom is a tiny little thing and the pieces are all in grey plastic and lit is large on her.
Description of Work: Ordered for my mom when dad was placed into care. I ordered from Angie's list and was contacted quickly. The person taking the order called me 2times for clarification of information. I was pleased with the attention to detail. We received our box within a week and the instructions were in fairly large print and easy to follow.
