What the Experts Say About Life Alert®

SEE WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT LIFE ALERT!

For nearly 40 years, independent journalists, health editors, and consumer reporters have covered Life Alert — and what they consistently find goes far beyond a product story. They find real families, real emergencies, and a company that has shown up the same way every single time since 1987. The articles below are the result of that reporting.

Independent Coverage From the Reporters Who Looked Closest

Some stories find their way into print because a journalist was curious. Others make it there because what they discovered was simply too compelling to leave out.
The articles gathered here were written by reporters and health editors who set out to understand what Life Alert really means to the people who depend on it — and what they found went far beyond a product review. They found a mother who stayed in her own home after a stroke. A daughter who finally slept through the night. A husband who pressed a button from his car and had help on the way before he could reach for his phone.
Since 1987, Life Alert has earned this kind of attention not by asking for it, but by doing the one thing that matters most: being there, every single time. These are the stories that resulted.
