Everything to know about personal safety alarms
Personal safety alarms are devices that can be worn by the elderly or people with disabilities to help ensure their safety and well-being. These alarms can also be a valuable tool for those who live alone or have limited mobility, as they provide an easy way to call for help in case of an emergency. In this blog post, we’ll explore everything you need to know about personal safety alarms for the elderly or people with disabilities, including what they are, how to use them, their benefits, and their effectiveness.
What are Personal Safety Alarms and how are they used?
Personal safety alarms are wearable devices that allow the wearer to call for help in case of an emergency. These devices usually consist of a small, lightweight device that can be worn around the neck, wrist, or clipped onto clothing or a keyring. In case of an emergency, the wearer can press a button on the device which will send an alert to a carer or family member or in some instances a monitoring centre, where trained professionals can respond and provide assistance. Some personal alarms even have a falls detection function so that if the wearer falls over, the alarm will trigger automatically (without the wearer having to press the SOS button) and an alert will sent to a carer, family member or monitoring centre.
Benefits of Personal Safety Alarms
Personal safety alarms offer several benefits for the elderly or people with disabilities. Firstly, they provide peace of mind, knowing that help is just a button press away in case of an emergency. They also help to reduce the time between a fall and help arriving as a fall alert can be sent in real-time. In addition, some personal safety alarms such as the TEQ-Secure have live location tracking so that the user can be found quickly and easily.
Effectiveness of Personal Safety Alarms
Personal safety alarms can be highly effective in providing assistance in case of an emergency. However, it’s important to choose a device that is reliable and has a good track record of responding quickly and efficiently to alerts. It’s also important to ensure that the device is easy to use, lightweight and comfortable to wear, as the wearer may need to wear it for extended periods.
Personal safety alarms can be a valuable tool for the elderly or people with disabilities, providing peace of mind and easy access to help in case of an emergency. By choosing a reliable and easy-to-use device, wearers can enjoy the benefits of increased safety and independence, knowing that help is always close at hand.
