Personal alarms, worn either on the wrist or around the neck, are a crucial piece of equipment if you have limited mobility or health concerns. They provide a sense of security and comfort, allowing you to quickly and easily call for help in case of emergencies such as falls at home.     

Wearing your personal alarm

It’s essential to wear your personal alarm at all times to ensure your safety. The alarms are discreet, lightweight and designed to be worn comfortably throughout the day. At night, you can keep your wrist alarm on in bed. If you have a pendant alarm, hang it close by so you can reach it. If you have any difficulties in wearing your pendant or wrist alarm, just let us know and we will see what we can do to help.

Ease of use and accidental calls

Personal alarms are simple to use, with just one button for activation. They provide reassurance for independent living and act as a safety net in emergencies. Accidental calls are common! We will answer it and just make sure you are ok so never worry and don’t let this stop you from wearing it. And we are NEVER too busy to take your call and you are not being a nuisance.

Addressing Concerns

If you worry about accidentally breaking the alarm, getting it wet or not being able to activate it in time due to health issues like loss of consciousness, rest assured. The devices are shock proof and waterproof and if your health condition does result in you being unconscious the alarm can still be used once you regain consciousness to request assistance.

“I don’t do technology!”

For those who may not feel comfortable with technology, personal alarms are user-friendly and typically require minimal interaction. Regular testing ensures they are in working order, providing peace of mind without the need for complex maintenance.

Embrace the peace of mind and safety that comes with wearing a personal alarm – it’s a small device that can make a big difference in your wellbeing. Stay safe and connected with the help you need just a button press away!
