The Benefits of Personal Alarms
Personal Alarms enable those living independently with limited mobility and chronic health conditions to live safely in their own homes, providing a quick and easy way to call for assistance in case of falls or feeling threatened. Twig Their cost is much less than medical expenses related to nonfatal falls in older adults and can significantly improve chances of speedy recoveries.


Personal alarms usually take the form of small pendants or smartwatches that can be worn at all times, with a button that when pressed will instantly connect to their response centre and connect them directly with trained members of staff who will speak through the alarm device with its user and assess the situation before calling emergency contact/ambulance services if medical assistance is required - whether this be family members, friends or neighbours depending on individual preferences.

Apart from its immediate emergency call out functionality, personal alarms can also serve as deterrents against potential attackers. Their loud noise may startle and disorient any would-be attackers allowing time for escape or seeking assistance. Furthermore, this sound will alert nearby individuals about distress in the community which allows for rapid action to intervene on any potential incidents.

As is often the case, alarm devices should only serve as one part of an overall safety plan and should be implemented alongside self-defense tactics, risk avoidance strategies and communication devices. Alarms have become so popular due to their effectiveness at preventing injuries and deterring threats; additional features like strobe lights or flashlights provide added visibility as an extra deterrent against attacks in low light settings.

At home or away, these devices can bring peace of mind for seniors as well as those living alone and lacking immediate family support in an emergency situation. Many find the confidence to continue living independently knowing they can summon assistance with a simple push of a button if required.

Concerned family and friends of someone living alone should speak with them about where they frequent (such as shops and cafes) as well as any walking routes they regularly take. Using the SECOM Care app's geofence feature to establish regular walking routes could help set an alert if someone leaves an area unexpectedly at any given time - this feature is particularly helpful for students attending college as it can enhance campus safety and notify parents if their children go out late at night.
