What is the Best Alarm For the Elderly?
If you have elderly relatives who live alone, it can be difficult to know how to help them in the event of an emergency. One good way to ensure they have the help they need is by investing in a personal alarm.

Personal alarms are pendants or wrist watches that connect your loved ones to a 24/7 monitoring team at the press of a button. They come in a variety of styles and with different features, but they all offer the same basic function.
