very satisfied - helps build confidence
Thrilled to hear you feel confident with your device, Robert!
There have been two mistakes that were not mine and each was handled very well. I do have a concern- what do I do when I go out of state and can not tell your company that i will be away.
Hi Elaine! Glad to hear you've had a great experience so far. If you're traveling, you can either update your address in your My Guardian Portal, or give us a call at 1 (800) 313-1191 to let us know! When you get home, you can adjust your address back the same way.
I have had medical guardian for about 2 years now, without using it. In the last month, I have had to used it twice. The response is quick. It is worth the money I have paid out. I just used it yesterday for my brother who did not have his pendant with him.
Thank you for sharing your story! We're so glad we could be there for you and your brother.
Thank you for sharing, Lisa!
timely notification on events as they occurred
So glad you've had a positive experience so far, Andy!
I just had the most positive experience speaking with Natasha with Bay Medical. She was confirming my mother’s medical device information and how to best set things up. She was knowledgeable, professional, helpful, and an active listener.
So glad you had a positive experience, Cindy!
Thank you for your kind words, Sharon!
Now I don't have to worry about my dog being left alone at home if something happens to me & nobody knows.
So glad we can give you (and your dog!) peace of mind
prompt service, makes you feel someone ia always with you in case you need help.
Thank you for sharing, Linda!
Thank you for your kind words, Lori!
So glad you've had a good experience with us, Mary Jane! We hope you're feeling better after your fall.
I rarely write negative reviews, but I feel obligated to share my experience so other families can make an informed decision. I purchased Medical Guardian to help protect my elderly father, expecting reliability and peace of mind. Unfortunately, my experience has been the exact opposite. The system generated far too many false fall alerts while also failing to detect actual falls. False alarms are more than just an inconvenience. They create unnecessary stress, reduce confidence in the device, and can ultimately lead people to question whether a future alert is real. What concerned me even more was the company's response. After one false alert, Medical Guardian dispatched EMS to the wrong address. An investigation was supposedly opened, but despite multiple emails, phone calls, and follow-up requests, I never received an explanation, update, or even the courtesy of a response. When you're choosing a medical alert system, you're trusting a company to be there during some of the most vulnerable moments in your loved one's life. That trust depends not only on the technology working correctly, but also on responsive customer support when something goes wrong. In my experience, Medical Guardian failed on both counts. I cannot recommend this company based on my experience. There are too many alternatives on the market to settle for a service that has proven unreliable and unresponsive when it matters most. If you're considering a medical alert system for a parent or loved one, I strongly encourage you to do your research and look carefully at other options before choosing Medical Guardian.
Thank you for your feedback, and we are so sorry that your experience is not up to our usual standards. We will be sending you a request for more information so we can talk to you more about how best to help resolve this.
I purchased Medical Guardian for my mother. She didn't use it as the 'necklace' was too bulky for her. I made all payments. After about 1 year, I cancelled the service, returned the merchandise and rec'd confirmation of merchandise return and cancellation. One year later, Medical Guardian is still bugging for a payment. The office staff is useless in resolving the issue. I would never use them again.
Hi Sue. We're so sorry about this experience. We're going to request information from you so we can make sure this issue is resolved.
I had fallen at 2:00 AM. After about an hour trying to get up, I decided I was going to have to get help. I had only had my Medical Guardian for about three weeks. I pushed the button for help and the automated voice came right on. I said I needed help, and they said they would connect me. Which they did right away. I told the man that I did not need an ambulance, but to contact my emergency contact. He came back and said that they did not answer, but he had left a message and would keep trying until he reached them. He came back and said they would be right over. Everything worked perfectly. I couldn't reach a phone, but had my call button around my neck. Saved the day!
Thank you for sharing your experience, Janie! We are so glad we could be there for you when you needed it most.
Dependable company that's always watching out for your safety. You always know you can get help when you need it.
Thank you for your kind words, Marion!
Just makes me feel good knowing I have help when I need it
So glad to hear this! Thank you for trusting us.
This has been one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve ever had. I purchased two Medical Guardian devices through Costco last year—one for my father and one for my mother, at two different addresses. Activation was a nightmare because the accounts kept linking together, even after multiple calls for help. My father passed away in November 2025, and I even have a cancellation email from Medical Guardian. Despite that, they continued charging me. It later turned out that when they sent replacement devices, they created a second account for my father instead of properly resolving the original issue. As a result, I was being charged twice for my mother’s device and also still charged for my father’s account. I was overcharged by a significant amount, and I should have monitored my statements more closely. What makes this worse is that they make cancellation extremely difficult, and even when you call, it still doesn’t seem to get resolved. This feels like a company that makes it easy to sign up and nearly impossible to leave.
Hi Mary. We are so sorry that your experience with Medical Guardian is not up to our usual standards. We're sending you a request for more information so we can work with you to resolve this quickly.
Thank you for your review, Cheryl!
My parents are very old and we have to keep the Medical Guardian lanyard on them. They could easily fall but this gives us some peace that we can get notified fast if they need help.
We're so glad we can help provide you and your family peace of mind.
