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.

Personal alarms are not all the same. Some have different features to others. Before you buy a personal alarm, we recommend you choose one with the features that suit your lifestyle.

The features include:

We are the leading provider of alarms. You can feel confident that you are in safe hands if you choose SureSafe. Our two United Kingdom based monitoring centres currently keep over 170,000 people living safely and independently. We are rated ‘EXCELLENT’ on reviews.io with a 4.8 out of 5 star average. You can buy a personal alarm online today with fast, free delivery.

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.

Buy your personal alarm with fast free delivery today. All of our alarms come with plain English, easy to follow user guides that explain how to use a personal alarm.

Just ordered a dementia tracker watch with the outstanding help from John.

He answered all questions we had and was so polite and understanding, talked us through it all and maybe this as positive of an experience as it could possibly be.

After a lot of research and seeing how recommended this company was and this item it was an easy decision with everything it offers.

Thank you so much! Can’t wait for it to arrive now.

So happy with our SureSafe personal alert system. It gives our mother and family such peace of mind. If she gets into trouble, she just pushes a button and we are alerted. The staff at SureSafe was so helpful when placing our order. The whole process was a joy. Thank you!

Questions answered & any teething problems resolved. Very helpful & understanding staff.

Just acquired alarm & seems to be working well.

Good idea to note SureSafe emergency number

incase of weak signal.

Also, need to ask about fall detection, whether this can be tested & what is the best setting for my particular situation.

Feel relieved & more safe as I spend a lot of time alone. Wearing the alarm on the wrist is more convenient that having a mobile phone to hand should an emergency arise with little or no alert time. The family & friends app is optional that I prefer ie you can still use the alarm & get help without having this feature. Thank you SureSafe for proving peace of mind.

In the beginning I had a problem with the watch being uncomfortable. They immediately changed it to a pendant and I am now very pleased. The lady on the phone was so helpful and very pleasant. The pendant arrived very quickly with a postage pre paid envelope to return the watch. 😊

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?
