Amy Goyer, an expert on senior care, wrote an article about what to consider in a medical alert system for seniors. I used her criteria to research medical alert systems for my mom, and Life Alert was the best option. Furthermore, just ask Life Alert users and they will quickly explain how Life Alert is far superior to other medical alert systems. For example, Sherry, a Life Alert user, states, "My Life Alert is the best thing I ever purchased. I fell in the bathtub last year. I pressed my button for help. The call center answered immediately and came to my home within 5 minutes. All of my friends who have other systems like Bay Alert or Medical Alert have complained about all kinds of problems---long response times, equipment breaking down, bad backup batteries---that my Life Alert has never had. Don't you think after my fall that I would take a chance on any other system?" More importantly, a recent review posted by the online based organization Consumer Affairs states that Life Alert got a 5 out of 5 star rating, the highest rating of any other reviewed medical alert systems.. Clearly, I should buy LifeAlert for my mom.
