The Senior Alert Scheme is available to people 65 and over, they get a free personal alarm or pendant. The alarm can be worn as a pendant or around the wrist like a watch. When pressed it connects wirelessly to a base unit, usually attached to a landline phone. The base unit sends a call to the monitoring centre . The equipment is free and the 1st year of monitoring is free. The only exception is where there is no suitable landline a mobile signal is used to connect to the equipment. In this case a small fee may be required to cover the mobile SIM rental cost. Its purpose is to enable older people to continue to live securely in their homes with confidence, independence and peace of mind with a personal monitored alarm. Kilmore Drumsnatt Community Alert can apply on your behalf, contact Tom 0877503967 or Celine 0879008426
