Personal Alarm Guide: What Is A Personal Alarm?

Personal Alarms


If you or someone you love is at risk of falling, lives alone or wants to feel more safe in general, a personal alarm can give you the peace of mind knowing that help is just a push of a button away. In this blog we discuss what is a personal alarm, the benefits of a personal alarm and who can benefit the most from using one. 

What Is A Personal Alarm?

A personal alarm is a small, portable device that contacts a loved one, carer or emergency services in the event of a fall or an emergency.

A personal pendant alarm can alert emergency services or loved ones if you experience a fall or need help. Pendant alarms are an effective way to improve safety for seniors, people with disabilities, and anyone who lives alone or has a history of falls. They can provide peace of mind for both the user and their family or carers, knowing that help is close at hand if needed.

5 Benefits Of A Personal Alarm

A personal alarm can provide a sense of security and peace of mind for people of all ages. For elders, people who live alone or those with disabilities, a personal alarm can be a valuable tool for maintaining independence and safety. Here are some of the benefits of having a personal alarm:

1. Personal alarms can help to reduce the risk of falls. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in four adults over the age of 65 falls each year.

2. Personal alarms can provide peace of mind in case of an emergency.

3. Personal alarms can help to keep loved ones safe and connected.

4. Personal alarms can give users a sense of independence and empowerment.

5. Personal alarms can be a valuable tool for caregivers and families. They can also help loved ones and caregivers know when someone has fallen or need help, so they can provide assistance if needed.

Who Can Benefit From Using A Personal Alarm?

Most people think that personal alarms are only for the elderly or infirm. However, this is not the case. There are a number of people who can benefit from the use of a personal alarm. Here are just a few:

Seniors:

Seniors can benefit from personal alarms in a number of ways. For instance, if you live alone, a personal alarm can provide reassurance that help is always nearby in case of an emergency. A personal alarm can give peace of mind to both seniors and their loved ones by ensuring that assistance is always close at hand. Additionally, some seniors suffer from conditions like Alzheimer’s or dementia, which can make it difficult to remember to call for help in an emergency.

People With Additional Needs:

People with additional needs often face unique safety challenges. For example, if you use a wheelchair, it may be difficult to reach a phone in an emergency. A personal alarm can provide an easy way to call for help, even if you can’t physically reach a phone. Additionally, many personal alarms now offer features like GPS tracking, which can be especially helpful for people with additional needs.

Parents of Young Children

Parents of young children know all too well the importance of being able to call for help quickly in an emergency. Whether your child has a medical condition that requires quick assistance or you simply want a way to reach emergency services if you can’t get to a phone, a personal alarm can be a lifesaver. Many personal alarms now offer features like two-way calling and GPS tracking, which can give parents even more peace of mind.

People Who Work Alone:

If you work alone, whether you’re a delivery driver, a store clerk, or a home healthcare worker, a personal alarm can provide an extra layer of safety. In the event of an attack or accident, a personal alarm can summon help quickly, even if you can’t reach a phone. Additionally, many personal alarms now offer features like GPS tracking, which can be helpful if you work in a remote location or are concerned about being attacked.

No matter your age or lifestyle, a personal alarm can be a valuable addition to your safety plan. Choose the right device for your needs and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing help is always close at hand.
