Personal alarms

Personal alarms are used to trigger an alarm in an emergency. They can be used from any part of the home or the garden which is within range of the base unit. When the control box is fitted, the range in your home will be tested and confirmed.

Personal alarms are supplied as pendants or with wrist straps so that you can choose the most comfortable and practical version for you. Some personal alarms are designed for people who have limited movements in their hands and fingers and your telecare adviser will provide more details. There are also personal alarms which can be supplied with belt clips.

Pull cord alarms may also be useful in areas where the personal alarm is not worn particularly in bed or when you are bathing.
