The service is for anyone who needs it, whether you rent or own your own home. The alarm can be installed in any type of accommodation as long as there is a working phone line and an electric power supply.

How does the service work?

The alarm consists of a small unit connected to your telephone socket and a small pendant worn either on a necklace or wristband. The unit connects through your phone to allow you to call for help quickly and easily.

When you press the alarm it calls a trained team of advisors.

The team operates 24hrs a day, 365 days per year. They will always answer your call and take the most appropriate action, calling emergency services and /or your nominated family or friends on your behalf.

There is a one off installation charge of £25.00 which includes a demonstration of how to use your pendant and alarm unit.

The ongoing rental charge is as little as £3.50 a week including a free annual equipment check.
