Medical alert reviews favor quality over price…
We believe that all of the companies listed here provided quality medical alert services with varying prices. We have tested all of their equipment and find them all to be high quality. Some companies charge double what other companies charge. It’s truly not about price it’s about the quality of service.
We have selected three companies that meet our 3 check seal of approval. Of the three companies checked we feel that SeniorSafety.com medical alert systems provide the best service for the best price.
Take your time to read the honest review on the company you choose to go with. Speak to them and make sure you feel comfortable with the person you have spoken to. Take the time to read their website and see if it is informative or just sales oriented. Don’t make a decision until you have received several brochures and spoken to several companies. Watch out for the companies that have pesky sales people who will keep calling you back.
We want to be the best Consumer Protection Organization for the medical alert community by gathering your comments and findings. Please share a comment or two on the different pages of our site about all of the companies you speak with… Please help us help you. Let’s protect each other!
Thank You!

I am looking for a system for my parents who live in Victoria, BC. Which of the services that you reviewed are available in Canada? Are you aware of a comparison site similar to this one (which is great!) for Canada? In addition to coverage within a home, is there any service that is “portable” (i.e., extends to outside the house, walking, on a bus, etc.)? Thanks.
Hi Shirley, I wish I could be a lot more help with your question. I am mainly familiar with medical alert providers in the US. The one provider that I have listed here that I know covers Canada is Lifeline (lifeline.ca). Their Canadian service should be pretty similar…
Most medical alerts are designed for your home and immediately outside the home. Some companies do offer an additional device that will cover you elsewhere. These devices dial 911 directly and would require the senior to be able to tell the 911 dispatcher exactly where they are. There is GPS in some of these devices – but, to the best of my knowledge, it is not exact enough for 911 to dispatch to on the GPS alone. If your parents already have cell phones you can just as easily program it so that they can get help by pressing one number and the “talk” button.
Having a monthly flexible service helped mom cancel a medical alertr she just started with and she is not out any additional money. None of us thought she would be moving into assisted living so fast, but I’m glad it hasnt affected all her finances too much Seniors livign just on social security need to be extra careful when signing up for services like this. they just can’t spare that much when there money is so very tight
Weve had 3 different companies for my mom over the past 8 years i cant remember all of there names. I learned the risk free thing is important pretty fast. My moms life changes so much. its just about every 2 years there’s something new but we stick together and stick through it. She’s a trooper. Sometimes you need an alarm and sometimes you don’t. Sometimes you just cabnt afford it. Rick free, no contract. Thats my recommendation!!
I asked my mother’s doctor for recommendations about a good medical alert company, and he wasn’t very knowledgeable. This site has already helped me a lot. I’m making calls, asking for brochures now
Are there any online resources you’d recommend reading? I’m a little overwhelmed by all the sites out there
Hi Katie. It sounds like you are well on your way with the search. A lot of resources online are either saturated with spam or biased reviews written by medical alert companies. So I’ll have to look around for you and see if I can find anything worth recommending. In the meantime, when you get those brochures and narrow the choices down I’d recommend Google searching each company name plus “complaints.” So Google “Alert1 Complaints” or “Life Alert Complaints.” This is another great way to see what old customers are saying.
