I had it for my parents while they were living at home. Both have since passed, but they never used the service. Mom didn't mind wearing her pager, but Dad just wouldn't. Prior to getting the service, Mom had a fall and Dad struggled to get her up without calling any one. I figured having Life Alert would make them comfortable. Not sure if it did or not...they only were subscribed for about a year before transferring to full time nursing home care.

One thing you need to know is that when you sign up for Life Alert, canceling isn't easy. Both parents needed to be moved to a nursing home so we were allowed to cancel.

Check on all the particulars before subscribing.
