Personal Alarms For the Elderly
Personal alarms for the elderly are a great way to help your elderly loved ones stay safe at home. These devices connect them with help at the push of a button and studies have shown that they feel safer and more secure and are often more active around their homes.
Peace of mind

Personal alarms allow individuals who live alone to feel safe and secure in their own homes. A simple button press from a pendant or wrist-band connects them with a 24/7 telecare service who can assess their situation and decide whether to contact family, friends or call the emergency services.

This can reduce the amount of time they have to wait before someone arrives at their home, which can be especially important if they have suffered a fall. Moreover, the peace of mind that comes from knowing that help is just a push of a button away can reduce anxieties and fears associated with living alone, promoting mental wellbeing and independence.

Fall detection

A fall can be very distressing, especially if you don’t know how to call for help. Personal alarms are an effective strategy for preventing a long lie after a fall, and for ensuring that you get the help you need as soon as possible.

A typical alarm has a small pendant alarm that can be worn on your neck or wrist and is connected to a base unit in your home. When a button is pressed it alerts a 24/7 monitoring team and will often have fall detection capabilities built in.

Many of our mobile alarms are fully GPS tracked and can be used anywhere, not just at home. These have in-built fall detection that can be triggered by the change in air pressure and movement associated with a fall. They also offer two-way communication so if you’re unable to speak the alarm will notify MePACS and an operator will be on hand to arrange help for you.

Personal alarms help individuals who live alone feel safe and secure in their own homes. By pressing a button on a discreet pendant or watch, they are connected to a 24/7 telecare team who will contact their nominated contacts or the emergency services. This means they can get help without delay, preventing further injury or dehydration.

A GPS tracker can be added to a personal alarm system, giving family members peace of mind if their loved one has a fall outside the home. This feature is especially useful for people who suffer from conditions like diabetes, epilepsy and dementia, which can cause them to lose consciousness or wander.

The NHS is under strain and a significant number of patients are stuck in hospital because of social care delays, even when they’re medically ready to leave. This is costing the NHS a huge amount of money, and we believe personal alarms can help to reduce this pressure.
Easy to use

Rather than relying on an elderly person to call for help, they can press the button of their alarm and this will alert their monitoring centre. The centre will then decide whether to contact family or the emergency services. These alarms can be used indoors or out and are very easy to operate.

Most personal alarms for the elderly will also come with fall detection technology which can be helpful to prevent further damage to an elderly person after a fall. This feature does not require a customer to press the SOS button, it will recognise that a fall has occurred and send an alert automatically.
