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.

Very personal service after ordering. I was a bit put off by having to call to set up but it turned out great. A human being answered the phone and walked me through every step. Then the rep called back a few days later just to make sure everything was working. Really great support. It is so nice to find a device that does not call 911 or force all calls through a call center before notifying family. We switched from a different provider that required full monitoring and we are much happier with this.

Excellent service so far. Pendant arrived the next day. Easy to set up and my 86 year old mum finds it easy to use - basically 2 buttons - one to tell the time and remaining battery life and the second to call for help. Very neat device and despite being reluctant to use a personal alarm, is finding it unobtrusive.

I was ringing on behalf of my husband who is struggling at the moment with his balance and dizziness. I worry about when i am not around and if he has a fall or a seizure. The gentleman I spoke to was very kind and calm and told me everything i needed to know. He really did put my mind at rest. The watch arrived in great time and was easy to set up using the instructions. I have recommended SureSafe Alarms to others who struggle with life a little and their loved ones need reassurance that if they have a fall or need to be alerted quickly, that the watch will do its job. Thank you very much for everything

I like how easy it is to use the device. My father is climbing in age and his faculties have been declining recently. I feel at ease with him wearing the device. The set up was quick and effortless. The call taker was great.

From my initial inquiry through the follow-up call and eventual setup of the device for my father, the entire process was seamless. The device itself is excellent and has given me real peace of mind knowing that my 90-year-old father can continue to live independently with added safety and support.

Customer Support has been really great. Joanna has been mostly helpful and very pleasant to call on for assistance. What was particularly helpful was having the activation require a call. It really simplified and streamlined the set up process. I feel it eliminated potential frustrations. Well done
