How Personal Alarms for Seniors Can Improve Independence

Maintaining your independence and living in your own home becomes a greater priority in life as you age. It’s understandable to want to continue doing the things you love, however, concerns about health and safety emergencies can make it difficult to do so. 

But that’s where personal alarms come in. Our members’ 24/7 monitored personal alarms offer a balance between independence and security, providing confidence for users, families, and friends. With a personal medical alarm, users can enjoy independent living, knowing that help is only one press of a button away at all times. 

Immediate Access to Emergency Services

A monitored personal alarm watch or pendant provides direct, immediate access to trained emergency responders. Whether the user suffers a fall, becomes suddenly unwell, or experiences another type of emergency, with just one press of a button, help can be contacted quickly and all required information is relayed directly to the responders. This means emergency responders can get the right help, and seniors can carry out their daily routines without the fear of being without aid when they need it. 

Live Alone Confidently

Seniors can often stay in their homes longer with personal alarms. With reliable emergency services available at the press of a button, common safety concerns surrounding seniors living alone are alleviated.

Mobility and Activity Support

Staying active as you age is crucial in maintaining your health and well-being. However, this can be daunting or difficult for many seniors. Monitored medical alarms allow seniors to continue to engage in activities such as gardening, long walks, or visiting friends and family with the security of knowing they remain supported in case of emergency.

Reassurance for Family Members

Having a personal alarm provides peace of mind for family members who want you to enjoy your independence but still harbour safety concerns. Knowing you’re connected 24/7 to emergency responders makes it easier for them to support your autonomy and worry less.

Customisable Features for Greater Support

Personal alarms can include a range of features to enhance your protection, such as GPS location tracking, automatic fall detection, and direct, hands-free communication with professional emergency responders.

Take back your independence and give yourself and your family peace of mind with a monitored personal alarm.
