Are you looking for an elderly person alarm for their safety?

It is important to know the needs of your family and your elderly loved one before buying a pendant alarm. If your elderly loved one lives alone, an alarm will help them to maintain their independence safely. This is because of features like fall detection, which senses a fall and raises the alarm without having to press the SOS pendant.

This type of elderly alarm does this by sensing the change in speed and pressure. These elderly fall alarms will then send an alert to nominated family members, or the monitoring centre - depending on which type of personal fall alarm you have.

But it's not just about the great features, having a personal alarm for elderly relatives can make them feel safer. If they are worried about anything or have an unwanted caller, they need only press their alarm pendant and somebody will be there to offer reassurance. An emergency button for elderly loved ones can give everyone peace of mind.

Choosing a personal alarm device with 24/7 monitoring means that your loved one will be able to call for help if they were to fall, have a kitchen accident, or another medical emergency. Once they press their pendant they will be able to talk directly to one of our trained Response Centre Operators. You do not need to worry if you press the elderly emergency button by accident - just let the person on the other end of the line know - we always say, our favourite kind of medical alarm is a false alarm!

You can choose a family monitored elderly personal alarm and connect nominated friends and family. This means that the call will connect straight to loved ones. There are no ongoing fees with this type of personal alarm pendant, you simply buy pay-as-you-go credit and you can talk to your loved one using their SOS pendant.

SureSafe alarms have a range strong enough to allow the wearer to walk around their home and garden without panic. If your elderly loved one has other electronics like a mobile phone or wireless internet there is no concern for interference with the pendant alarm. The button is easy to press so there is no need to worry if the senior is feeling weak. Furthermore, there is no need to worry if the electricity goes out during a storm because the base unit has a battery backup.
