Hello Everyone

Seeking recommendations of alarm, worn on wrist preferably, that picks up if I fall both within home and away from home and would alert a Call Centre as well as have contacts of family members to alert. Thank you for help with this. I already have box outside my home which emergency services know code to.

    Hi @jane52, sorry that you haven't had a response to this. I just wanted to check in to see how you were doing. Did you manage to find an alarm to suit you? In case you're still looking, Which have a comparison of some personal alarm services that you might find useful: https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/assistive-technology/article/how-to-buy-the-best-personal-alarm-aiDEp0U1Tdr2

    Hope you managed to get something in place ☺️

    Sorry to hear that @jane52! I'm afraid I don't know too much about this area myself but I saw from the Which page that local authorities sometimes help with lifeline alarms, so that might be worth some research too. You could try contacting your council's adult social care department to see if they offer anything similar.

    I hope some of our members will see your post and offer some of their own experiences. Hope you get something sorted soon ☺️
