On Monday December 7th , I was in my garage. When I went to enter my home, I went up one step but I was unable to lift my left leg to enter my family room (a 6” step). I fell to my knees. I tried to pull myself up to stand. No luck! After several attempts, I realized I truly needed assistance. I pushed my Life Alert button. The response was immediate. I had to shout my problem because I was a distance of 30 feet away. The women assured me the fire department had been notified. I was asked “how will the men be able to get in your home?” I told her the garage door was open and the men would see me. The men arrived soon after that and they helped me to stand. Meanwhile, my 3 children, who live out of state were notified. They also notified a near-by neighbor. A life-saver absolutely! My children and I feel very comfortable having Life Alert in my home.

Young or old, if you live alone you should have Life Alert. I learned that when I fell and couldn't get up because I broke my foot and my toes.

Fell from ladder. Was conscious. Pushed button. They answered. I described my condition. 5 seconds later, help was on its way.

I was having extreme chest, throat, ear and arm pain and pressure, then vomiting and perspiration. Within seconds of pushing my alert button I had help on the intercom. The attendant remained on the line and sent 2 ambulances and notified my family. My grand daughter arrived shortly after the ambulance. I was air lifted to the best hospital in our area for surgery, saving my life! I’m very pleased with Life Alert.

My mom fell when I was here. She didn't want me to call 911 or an ambulance. She felt she would be fine and felt she didn't break anything. My niece suggested she push her button, (we are very new to Life Alert). She did and it was a great response. She [the emergency dispatcher]handled it well making it so less scary for mom. Mom did break a hip.

I was sitting in my recliner and I had to go to the bathroom. I had been in the hospital a week before that, but I got an infection in my hand from the IV I had. I tried from 1:00am to 3:00am to get up and out of the chair. Finally, I pushed the button and someone answered and talked until the EMTs arrived. They stayed on the line until help came. I will stay with Life Alert.

I fell in tub. My husband was in his office in the basement. I was taking a shower when I fell in the tub. My husband couldn’t hear my screams for help. 15 minutes after I pushed the button on my Life Alert. EMTs were at the house - wonderful service!

My husband passed out. I called Life Alert from my neckwear. They stayed on the phone for the few minutes it took them to arrive. He was promptly taken to emergency at the hospital.
