Default Medical Alert devices

I am doing research for a client that lives alone and really needs to get a medical alert system. I have read consumer reports but would like some real world feedback if possible. If you or someone you know has one:
-do you like it (is it uncomfortable to sleep with)
-can you shower with it (most say you can but want to ask)
-how far can you be away from the base (can you be in the front yard or your lanai)
- does it come will an automatic fall alert
-did you get the GPS feature
-how is customer service (I have read this can be an issue if you want to make changes)
-is monitoring in house or outsourced

Thank you for reading. I would appreciate any thoughts you might have and you can PM me as well.
