How personal alarms work
A personal alarm works by featuring a distinctive SOS button. When you press the button, it will trigger a call either to your nominated contacts or to a SureSafe operator, depending on which service you choose. You can the get the help you need. You can wear a personal alarm on your wrist or around your neck as a pendant.

Do personal alarms work?
Yes, they do, because they get you the help you need quickly, and at the touch of a button. Wearing the alarm means it is always with you, unlike a mobile phone which is often left on a table or a kitchen unit.
When you fall ill or have a fall, minutes matter. The faster you can get medical assistance the better. If you are treated quickly for an illness such as a heart attack or a stroke you have a better chance of survival.
After a fall, you might also suffer from hypothermia from a cold floor, or dehydration if you’re left immobile for hours.
Wearing a personal alarm also means you don’t have to worry about having your mobile phone close to hand. You wear the alarm so pressing the SOS button is easy to do.
Our alarms are comfortable to wear. They are lightweight and discreet. You can even wear them in the bath or shower.

Why use a personal alarm?
People without personal alarms are vulnerable if they are alone. Using a personal alarm gives you confidence because you know that should you feel ill or have a fall, help is at hand. It means you can go about your daily life with peace of mind.
If you suffer from a stroke or have a fall you may not be conscious, unable to speak or unable to reach for your phone. Wearing a personal alarm means you don’t have to worry about having your mobile phone close to hand. You wear the alarm so pressing the SOS button is easy to do whether you can speak or not.
How to use a personal alarm
Personal alarms are designed to be easy to use. All you have to do to get help is press the SOS button. One button, one press, it’s that simple. An SOS button is easier to use than a telephone keypad, especially if you have trembling hands or rheumatism.

Don't just take our word for it

Who is a personal alarm for?
A personal alarm is the ideal device if you are older, frail or you are living with a condition that means you might need help if you feel ill.
According to the NHS 1 in 3 people over the age of 65 and half of the people aged 80 or more, will suffer from a fall within a 12-month period. If you are living with dementia, you might leave home without your keys or become confused about getting back home.
Rather than relying on the kindness of strangers isn’t it more reassuring to know that at the press of a button you can put a call through to a family member or one of our friendly operators?
