Safety and Wellbeing at Home

Community Alarms

The community alarm service provides peace of mind for people who feel at risk in their own homes and involves the use of a special alarm unit and pendant 

This service is a 24-hour, 365-day monitoring service which works via a special alarm unit connected to the telephone line. Pendants are provided that can be worn around the neck or around the wrist which are pressed by an individual when they need help. This connects the person to a call centre who can contact family, friends or emergency services to provide assistance. Please download the Community Alarm Factsheet for more information.
