I did a bunch of research in behalf of my dad. We ended up with Medical Guardian. The reviews were all positive. Since he is mobile, I was interested in the GPS system and also a pendant that can be worn in the shower, where the majority of the falls occur. He has had the service a couple years. No complaints! When he needed it (when he fell) the response was quick. They dispatched EMS, then called me. We test the system every couple months by pressing the button. The dispatcher is always glad we are testing and tell us we should continue doing so. One time, we tested it from my house and my dad asked where he was - they had our address nailed perfectly! The only other option I wish was available was the fall alert, but that wasn't available with the GPS and we decided the GPS was more important. Good luck! I would suggest doing a ton of internet research and read, read, read reviews.
