I fell yesterday and spent 5 hours on the floor until someone came by to pick me up to my feet.

Can anyone recommend an emergency alert system?

    Hello @germaine29

    I'm so sorry about your fall! I hope you are doing better now? I have popped your post into our aids, adaptations and equipment section of the forum, in the hopes someone can suggest ideas quick and that doesn't happen again. 

    Hope you are taking care.

    @germaine29 Oh no, I'm just checking in to see how you are doing today? If you're comfortable answering, was there a particular reason for the fall and the delay in being helped? If you feel that additional support at home would be useful, then do let us know.

    Here's the Which guide to buying a personal alarm which also contains information about help you might be able to receive from your local council.

    Please let us know how you get on, and wishing you all the best.

    I hope you are feeling a bit better after your fall today @germaine29? I can see Cher has linked Which's guide, which should be useful for you.

    If we can help with anything else, please ask :)
