After spending three days in the hospital and home for a few days, I got out of bed to find out I didn’t make the bathroom nor could I walk. I just had the strength to push my Life Alert button on my chest. The lady came on, I knew I was in deep trouble but within minutes the ambulance was given my lock box number. They the (angel) crew took me to the bathroom and got me cleaned up to make the trip to the hospital. Right at the same time the ambulance came, so did the PFD first responders along with the police. The ambulance crew could talk to the Life Alert operator who contacted my daughter, who lives in another state. The team of all the men made sure all the information was given to the operator to keep my daughter informed. All I can do is express my appreciation to the people from Life Alert, and all that made my family feel on top of the world. I’m 82 years old, and I have recommended Life Alert to several people.

During the early morning my heart was racing and that brought my blood pressure up. I was dizzy and my head seemed like everything was spinning around. The Life Alert operator stayed on the system with me and kept checking to see if I was alright until the ambulance arrived.

I could not breathe. I hit my button and Life Alert had emergency at my door in less than 10 minutes. They took me to the hospital after they took care of me and made sure I was ok. I am so happy and pleased that I know Life Alert is always there for me. Thanks to all who helped me.

I was walking in the living room; I might have stubbed my toe on the rug. I hit my head on the bird cage, banged my knee, big egg on face (above eye), and black and blues on my arm. A nice black eye as well. Life Alert was very helpful, courteous and gave me good care. Thank you all so much.

My father couldn’t get out of the bathtub. He used his wrist band button and Life Alert sent the fire department to his house. They got him out of the tub and back on his feet. Life Alert continued to follow up. Life Alert performed exactly as we intended. Thank you.

I fell in the late evening in my kitchen and broke my hip, so I pressed the Life Alert button hanging around my neck. The operator came on immediately reassuring me, and calling aid, and my daughters stayed with me until help arrived. It was wonderful. I’ve told everyone about you. I’m a walking advertisement.

I was walking down the hall to my bedroom with my cane and the cane fell to the floor out of my hand and so did I. I fell forward full force, my whole body. I could not get up, so I scooted to the end of the hall and got a hold of a heater to pull myself up. I pressed the Life Alert and it wasn’t long before help was here and took me to the emergency room. I thought my arm was broken, but it was dislocated and they popped it back in place and my arm was in a sling for two weeks.

I don’t know what would have happened to me without Life Alert. One time I fell over backwards as I got out of the tub (I have a chair in the tub). The other leg was caught between the chair and tub. I pressed the button and Life Alert came and saved my life. Thank you so much.

I was going through periods of extreme dizziness, headaches and blacking out for a time, so my son pressed my button for Life Alert. The EMS team was at my home in less than 5 minutes. They immediately made me more comfortable. They did take all the vital signs, helped me to stand to get to the gurney, and carried me down the steps and put me into the ambulance, all the whole time monitoring my vitals. The EMS crew was the greatest. They even checked on me in the hospital. I felt very secure with them.

My sister from OK was with me when I experienced hard breathing, which was not normal for me. So about 5:00 a.m., I woke my sister, and since she has apnea, she took her mask off and was excited and worried. I told her not to worry, and that I was having breathing difficulty, that I had the ambulance coming. All I had to do was press the Life Alert button, which I wear at night and someone was on the Life Alert system. I was so happy that I own a Life Alert system, and the firemen was the first to arrive (they’re just down the street), then the ambulance. The person on the alert system contacted my son, and my sister. Everything went will. Thank you for your service.
