Customer Comments & Reviews
Medical Guardian Medical Alerts review
My 81 year old mom wore the Medical Guardian pedant with fall detection in which she fell 3 separate times and it never prompted an attendant to ask through permanent if she needed help. The last fall was Dec. 24th, 2022 and she passed away and the device never activated. I called customer service to cancel service and also let them know that maybe device is faulty. They told me that they would reset device after I sent back for someone else to use. I told them they were seeing themselves up for a lawsuit if they didn't make sure that device is faulty before letting someone else uses it. It's really scary to know how much you pay for that device per year and it's a roll of the dice that you may get a device that may be faulty. LEASER BEWARE.
LifeFone Medical Alert review
We had this service for our mother for about 10 years. It worked perfectly & was made use of several times when situations called for it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Medical Guardian Medical Alerts review
Thanks so much for looking at my mom Barbara Rose in Rialto! I am just glad that you are there for her because we worry about her falling at her age.
I tell everyone that your service is a must have for seniors who want some alone time without being alone.
LifeFone Medical Alert review
I have had the fall detection pendant replaced three times and it has NEVER worked. I plan on changing to another company.
LifeFone Medical Alert review
We are very pleased with the Lifefone system and service. I would highly recommend this system to anyone who needs a medical alert monitoring system.
LifeFone Medical Alert review
We've had Lifefone for my mother for the past few years. The response time was very quick, and though I'm not someone who reviews products often, I can say we are very pleased with this product which works as advertised, and also with the kind customer service there. I trust we are in good hands with this. This is the type of product you hope you won't need, but when you do its important to know how well it works.
Medical Guardian Medical Alerts review
I called for some information for my mom. I was not intending to sign up. Robin was so good at informing me about all the services. I ended up paying for a full year and insurance by the time we hung up. He took his time and never rushed me. He answered all my questions no matter how many times I asked the same question. He is excellent at his job. I never looked anywhere else.
