I had Life Alert for my parents years ago. Mom was comfortable with it, Dad was not. He refused to wear the bracelet or neck pendant alarm, saying he didn't need it. I got the service after Mom fell and Dad couldn't get her up. He eventually called my sister who then had him call 911. (I was living 3200 miles away at the time. My sister was exhausted running to them often, thought Life Alert would give them some peace of mind and my sister, a little relief.
With Life Alert, one was signing a very long term contract.....one could not just stop the service. It could be terminated only if the individuals the service was for were in a nursing home, living with a care provider, or died. Find out terms BEFORE signing a contract with any alert company.
