One time I was at my stove and I accidently turned on the wrong burner. I did not know it and was using the front burner. A plate on the back burner went up in flames. I went through my apt yelling, “I got a fire! I got a fire!” I heard a voice saying we’ll send the firemen and they did. I had not called Life Alert. I was so frightened that I forgot my pendant around neck. All I could think or do was run around my apt yelling I got a fire as loud as I could yell. Just turned 100 this past Valentine’s Day. I will highly recommend Life Alert to any one. I have been with Life Alert since November 2003 and Life Alert has always been there for me. I thank God that I have it.

At 2:45 p.m. I accidently fell at the foot of my bed to the floor (I was holding the arm of a chair and it tilted). I hit my head against the wall and fell on my left hip. Life Alert called – lifted me to the bed. They responded very quickly. I was able to stand and walk with my walker. Both arms, small of my back, left hip and my head felt sore, but was able to move OK. The Life Alert team kept checking on me - said I was to call them if need be. They were wonderful! P.S. Life Alert called me twice that afternoon asking how I felt and how I was.

I have fallen several times since “Life Alert” was installed and they responded immediately, sending help right away. Before I had Life Alert I fell and spent almost 36 hours on the floor before someone found me. I am a diabetic and could have gone into a coma.

Life Alert worked quickly and efficiently. The neighbor (with a key) responded quickly and let the emergency people in the house. I was not seriously injured but did require help. The paramedics were here in just a minute.

My mom got tunnel vision and then went unconscious. The Life Alert system is far better than just calling 911. When I call 911 they ask me a bunch of questions that Life Alert already has which saves me a lot of heartache in not having to recite all that info in a time of a “crisis”.

I.M., North Branch, MN

On that day, my husband started to vomit. I was afraid that he was getting another stroke. I pressed the Life Alert button and the ambulance arrived at the front door. The service and compassion they showed me was outstanding.

I fell on the front porch and couldn’t get up. Life Alert notified my niece and paramedics, and both came and helped me get up.
