What is a Panic Button for the Elderly?

Do you have concerns about what would happen if an accident should occur and nobody is around to help? The answer could be a panic button for the elderly.

When you need a solution to help you rest easy, a panic button for yourself, or elderly relatives, gives you the additional security you seek. Giving older people the confidence to stay in their own homes, panic buttons offer a safe and reliable way of calling for assistance from family, friends or the emergency services, whenever they feel at risk or vulnerable.

How Can A Panic Button For The Elderly Help?

A panic alarm for the elderly is an extremely useful tool for people wanting to maintain their independence long into their old age. As panic buttons allow the user to summon assistance should they fall or become unwell, both the user and their family and friends are afforded greater peace of mind knowing their loved ones are being looked after. The alarm can also be used if the user feels distressed at all, for example if they have an unexpected or unwanted caller at their door, or feel in danger in any way.

For elderly people living alone, this service can be a vital lifeline. Family members may not always be able to reach their aging loved ones quickly when they call. With a 24-hour monitoring service, older people can remain independent, living in their own homes for longer whilst still feeling confident and secure.

How does a Panic Button for the Elderly Work?

A panic alarm for the elderly can work in a variety of ways, depending on the particular model you choose. Different alarms have different features and benefits, so it is important to think carefully before you choose the one that you feel suits you best.

What most panic alarms have in common is how they help people in the event of an emergency. Most panic alarms are wearable devices that allow the user to call for help by simply pressing the SOS button. Multiple wearing options are available, with most alarms coming with both wrist and neck worn options. If the wearer needs help, for example if they suddenly feel unwell, all they need to do is press the button and the alarm will automatically call out for help.

Phoned to purchase a Fall safe alarm for my 95 year old Mum. It was needed quickly as she was being discharged from a home. Spoke to John, he was very helpful & the alarm arrived the following day. Mum is very happy with it especially as it is light to wear. We did the alarm test & I was very impressed with the politeness & speed of answer. Let's hope it is never needed, but I feel confident knowing that Mum has it & that help is there if she does.

Contacted SureSafe to purchase a SureSafeGo personal alarm for my 90 year old mother. I spoke to John who was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions and was extremely helpful in setting up the alarm and posting it out the same day. We have had the alarm for 3 weeks now and it has reassured my mother and all the family as to her safety and well being. I can thoroughly recommend this product and company. John was friendly, helpful and provided exceptional customer service for which I am very grateful.
