  • 24/7 emergency response monitoring service to escalate to emergency services and notify contacts.

Description

The Care@Home Basic is a great cost-effective and easy-to-use personal alarm solution. It’s best suited to seniors living alone or in a separate room from their partner or caretaker, so that they have access to emergency response services when no one is immediately around to help.

In the case of an emergency, our response centre can be notified by pressing the emergency button either on the unit, or on the pendant, or from a falls activation. One of our team members will communicate through the base unit to assess the situation, and call an ambulance to your home if necessary.
