Comforting is the best word to describe hearing a voice that cares. I always say to the person who answered my call, “Thank you for being there.” Many times I am asked what is that on your wrist and my answer is, “Oh, that’s Dick Tracy watch,” laughter is healing. Thank you, Life Alert.

My wife fell and I could not get her up. I instructed my granddaughter to call Life Alert. When she explained the problem they immediately called the fire department and they arrived within 5 minutes to help. Your Life Alert personal operator contacted me again to make sure that help had arrived.

I knew I was having a heart attack and instantly pressed my Life Alert button. I think they were here in 10 minutes. I couldn’t believe they were here so quickly. I’m grateful they are so reliable. Thank you.

I tripped over an oxygen air line and fell in the bathroom. I scooted myself into the hall way and pushed my Life Alert button. In just a few minutes 2 first responders came and helped me up. Also EMT came but I was ok. Thank you so much for being there.

I was on the phone with the caregiver and when I heard dad’s comment, “I can’t get up”, I told the caregiver to push the Life Alert bracelet. She did and explained the problem; also that she was on the other line with me. The paramedics were called instantly. Dad has responded to treatment given in emergency room for congestive heart failure. It all worked like it should.

I fall frequently due to malignant high blood pressure. The last time I was unable to reach leverage and get up from the floor. After 40 minutes I called Life Alert for help. The EMTs reached me very quickly. The fire station is only two blocks distant. They were so kind and efficient, and determined I wasn’t injured. I am so glad for Life Alert.

The smoke detector went off, Life Alert was told through their system. They called my mom, my mom and her live in help could smell smoke but it was due to something cooking on the stove. Fire department came and said everything was fine. Life Alert stayed on the line the entire time. Thanks.

My husband fell between two doors and was wedged and could not move. Life Alert sent the paramedics in about 15 minutes. They were very gentle in getting him in the ambulance. Luckily there were no broken bones.

1-05-12 around 7:00 a.m. I had used the bathroom and was about to leave when I felt a sharp pain in right hip and leg to the point that I crawled back to the bedroom. Hoped pain would go away (fear of falling if I put weight on it). It didn’t, so first called a nurse friend on cell phone. She advised me to see a doctor, so alerted Life Alert as I live alone. They came and took me to the ER. Fortunately, no broken bones. Thank you for your kind and quick response.

I would not ever be without Life Alert. The service was very good. The ambulance came very fast and they are the best. Thank you very much for getting the ambulance here very fast to help me.
