What a relief to know that if she ever feels threatened, or if she thinks someone is following her she can access help with the touch of a button. 5Star is also great for seniors who live alone and for younger children when they are out with a group or their class, in case they get separated or worse. You can never be too careful and what is it that they say; “an ounce of protection is worth a pound of cure.” The 5 Star Responder is that ounce of protection that helps people and their loved ones breathe a bit easier. We never want to think that it could be us or one of our family members that face a dangerous situation but in reality, it very well could be. I really think this is a great product, perfect for college students who have to walk a lot on campus, especially at night. It is truly better to have it and never need it, then to need it and not have it. An ounce of protection is worth everything when it can prevent a tragedy.

I like that everyone seems to say it helps them not to worry no more….. not to be stressed about someone , making sure they are okay im sure is a huge thing!!! Also the fact that its so easy to use!!!!
I like that it’s small enough to attach to a keychain or purse.
I like that it fits right on your keychain! Great for when I’m leaving work at night and walking to my car, or for when my daughter starts school!
I like that agents are equipped to handle a wide variety of situations and will remain on the line with you until your situation is resolved.
I like that you are able to provide personal data that would be available in an emergency situation.
I like that response agents are available 24/7
I like that they provide emergency service 24/7
i like that they provide service 24/7 and that the device can be clipped to you, so i know this kind of device would keep my mother safe.
Good to know help is just a “push of a button ” away especially for seniors who may have medical problems when emergency help is needed immediately.
5Star has been a prayer answered for me. I have an undiagnosed Medical/neurological condition that can severely limit my ability to get help for myself. Knowing I have the responder alone helps me not worry so much about having an “episode” as I have come to know them. I know that if I am unable to get help for myself that all I have to do is press that button and help will be on the way.
I’d would rather pay for the service and not need it than Need it and not have it. 🙂
Its an awesome thing to have.
I like that it takes the worry away and you have help available all the time

It will be like having a person with me 24 hrs. a day
And never be alone again
My brother-in-law was in a serious accident 4 months ago and was just released from the hospital (he hit his insurance maximum and was given the boot). This would be WONDERFUL for him to have when his mom has to step away or do a quick run to the grocery store!
Id use it for my brother
What I like about the product is the low cost of the service. I would give it to my mother she has copd bad. Since I am a student and my mother is disabled it would give me peace of mind, since its hard for me to be here all the time its hard to know if shes ok, for we don’t have a car she runs around in her motorized power chair for everything. Good Luck to all
I’d give it to my mom.
I was a former employee and this service sucks. I experienced first hand how frustrated callers were with this service. The device doesn’t work for shit it doesn’t hold a charge. The device always malfunctions. It will randomly shut off, call 911 repeatly for no reason. The service is ridicule and when you call to cancel they harass you about canceling it. This is a horrible place to work they treat there employees like shit.
