Personal alarms
Personal alarms are sometimes referred to as community alarms and are worn around your neck or on your wrist at all times when you are in your home. By pressing the button on your alarm an alert will be raised with the 24/7 monitoring centre which will then phone a family member, friend, neighbour, nurse or warden (if you live in sheltered housing) when there’s something wrong.
The SureSafe Personal Alarm is a ‘friends and family’ personal alarm – this means that when the alarm is triggered it automatically dials up to 3 friends or family telephone numbers to raise the alarm. There are no ongoing monthly fees or monitoring charges, ever!
