A would-be burglar smashed in the back door at 3:30am on Feb. 28th. I had been asleep in recliner in living room facing that door. Roused by breaking of glass, I ran toward the door, then remembered Life Alert and hit the base transmitter. They had police there (4 of them) in about 5 minutes. Of course, intruder had fled – but police got fingerprints for future reference! P.S. I am 90 years old.

My father slipped off the side of his bed when he got up at night to use the restroom. He knew he was in trouble and pressed his Life Alert button. They stayed on the line with him as they called me (daughter). Then [Life Alert] stayed on the line with me until the EMT’s arrived. He had cracked his pelvis and had a compression fracture of his spine. He is doing well and is on the road to full recovery. Thank you.

While recuperating from a broken hip, my son called and ordered the Life Alert. At that time I said, “I don’t need that.” How wrong I was. He ordered and got it for me anyway. What a blessing! I fell again and broke the other hip while in my garage. Used the Life Alert, and within a short time someone was saying, “Help is on the way,” and the EMS’s were there minutes later.

My mother was walking in the front yard with her cane, turned around to toss a limb in the trash pile and fell backwards. Due to a history of back surgeries, she cannot get up from the ground. To her advantage she was wearing the Life Alert. She crawled on her knees to the front porch, finding that she still could not stand, then she started pushing the Life Alert. I was contacted, but not home then, my son was contacted and arrived at her home the same time EMS staff was helping my mom stand. No serious injuries.

I fell on my kitchen floor and I couldn’t get up. Have arthritis in my legs can’t kneel down. I pushed a button and a Life Alert staff person answered and I explained to her I needed help to get up. I didn’t think I hurt myself but she said help was on the way and she stayed on the monitor speaker till they arrived to help me up. They got me up and I walked and felt ok. Someone called back later to see if I was alright or did I still want to go to the hospital. I was fine. I thanked them for calling back and for looking out for me.

I got tangled up on some throw rugs in the kitchen. I fell against the cabinets and I was getting dizzy. I was home alone but I had my Life Alert button on so I pushed it, a lady came on and spoke to me right away. Thank you so much! I am 72 years of age. Thank you again!

My wife was having chest pains and shortness of breath. Life Alert was notified and EMS was dispatched immediately. They arrived about 7 minutes later and the dispatcher stayed on the line talking to my wife the whole time. She even talked to the EMS personnel before my wife was transported to the hospital. Thanks so much!!!

I was experiencing severe congestive heart failure. Life Alert stayed on the phone till EMT’s arrived. I live alone so it is very reassuring to me to have Life Alert. I never feel alone.
