How do personal alarms for the elderly work?
Personal alarms for the elderly are designed to provide peace of mind and ensure safety. A user wears a lightweight device, such as a pendant alarm, around their neck or wrist. By pressing the button on the alarm, they are instantly connected to a 24/7 monitoring centre. Trained operators at the centre will assess the situation and contact family, friends, or emergency services if assistance is required.
Some alarms also include additional features like automatic fall detection, which triggers an alert if the user experiences a fall and cannot press the button themselves. This ensures help is always available, allowing elderly individuals to live independently with confidence.
