Safety Alarms For Elderly Individuals
Safety alarms for elderly individuals give families peace of mind that their loved one is protected in the case of an emergency. Often, these devices include features like GPS tracking to monitor whether your relative is at home or 'out and about'.

Elderly fall alarms are also available with a built in fall detection feature, which can help to prevent further harm. Choosing an effective elder fall alert system starts with understanding your loved ones needs.
Safety Sentry Alarm

The Safety Sentry alarm is one of the simplest systems to use and provides a range of features for your loved ones. It works through a landline at home and uses an easy-to-use pendant alarm that you or your elderly relative wears around their neck or wrist. When they need help they press the button and it calls a 24/7 monitoring centre where they can speak to a live responder for assistance.


The vast majority of these systems now have fall detection as well, meaning that if the user falls and doesn't press the button the system will detect this and send out an alert so that they can get help quickly. This can save lives by making it easier to get help in the event of a fall.

personal emergency response Many of the systems we have on offer also allow you to monitor your elderly loved ones from afar through the use of cameras. This can give you peace of mind that they're still safe at home if you're not there and can help you spot any potential problems like burglaries.

Some of the systems are fully mobile as well, allowing you to keep tabs on your elderly loved ones when they leave the house and even take them out and about with you. This makes them an excellent option for those with dementia or other conditions that mean they are at risk of wandering away from home and could become lost or injured.
Deluxe Personal Safety Alarm

For those that don't want a large alarm to interfere with their daily routine, this lightweight pendant offers 24/7 monitoring and a powerful 120 dB siren. The system works up to 500 ft away, more than two football fields, and can be customised in different colours and even have fall detection added on for an extra cost.

The device has a built-in speaker and microphone to enable two-way communication with Careline's emergency response team, and it also includes a panic button that can be activated by pulling the cord. This can send an alert to family members, neighbours or friends, which will help to get the person to safety or make contact with their local police department.

Personal alarms can also be useful for people that work alone, such as remote field workers, door-to-door salespeople and truck drivers. They can be carried in a pocket or attached to a bag, and some can also be used as a panic button on smartphones.

When looking for an alarm, it's important to choose a reputable brand, such as Sabre. Many of the cheap options available on sites like Alibaba and Amazon are not worth your money, as they may not actually sound the alarm noise when you need it most. Some of these devices may also have a low battery life or be difficult to set off when you need them the most.

Some older people may resist using a personal alarm because they see it as a loss of independence. It is important to talk this through with your elderly loved ones and show them how they can still live independently while also being safe. A quality personal alarm can give everyone peace of mind.
Smartwatch Alarm

More than one in four seniors tumbles every year, and even a mild fall can cause a severe injury. For those who are prone to falling, or who may not be able to reach a phone, a fall detection system can be invaluable. Most medical alert systems allow users to test their systems on a regular basis, so they can become accustomed to pressing the emergency button and what happens next. This can help to reduce stress and anxiety in the event of a fall, as well as make it more likely that they will remember to press the button when needed.

Some smartwatches can also be used as medical alert devices. The Apple Watch, for example, is a good choice for those who want the added convenience of an emergency SOS button that connects to certified medical personnel. However, it does not connect to a 24/7 monitoring center like most medical alert systems do and requires a monthly fee for the service, plus a one-time equipment charge.

Other options include the MGMove smartwatch, which enables older adults to text with designated caregivers and also provides a curated health database. The WellBe Medical Alert Round Watch is another great option for those who want a smartwatch with medical alert functionality, and it has GPS capabilities to help first responders locate the wearer quickly.
