How a Fall Alarm For Elderly People Works
Many seniors use personal alarms for peace of mind when living alone or due to medical conditions that increase the risk of falling. Although personal alarms cannot replace care services, they can help alleviate stress and instill confidence for safe living at home.

falls are one of the primary sources of injury for elderly individuals and they can often result in serious consequences, including bruises, hypothermia from cold temperatures or even death in extreme cases. Therefore, it is crucial that a fall detection system be activated immediately when someone falls.

How a Fall Alarm Works
An ordinary personal alarm for the elderly consists of a button worn around their neck or wrist which they must press in order to summon help, whereas with fall detection alarms there is a sensor which automatically detects any falls without having to push any buttons after they happen (this could be due to loss of consciousness or suffering a stroke, for instance). A fall detection alarm provides greater safety as some individuals might not be able to press buttons post fall (due to loss of consciousness, seizures etc).

If a fall sensor detects that someone has fallen, it will activate an alarm automatically and connect to a 24-hour monitoring centre that can send an ambulance, contact emergency services or notify relatives and friends as necessary. Furthermore, users can communicate directly through the device should they need help after falling or suffering an accident. In such circumstances they can use its two-way talking feature so they can describe their circumstances to carer or friend during emergency.

Some of our devices provide additional features like GPS tracking or the ability to communicate through pendants or watches without needing a base unit that plugs directly into a phone line - such as YourStride personal alarms. This provides an added layer of independence and freedom, knowing you can call for assistance even when away from home or not at your desk.
