Not ready for a personal alarm?

Personal alarms are proven to help those at risk of a fall or medical emergency. Personal alarms aren’t for everyone though, which is why we’ve created Smart Wellness, an innovative smart home monitoring system that doesn’t require wearables.

Wellness uses an array of motion detectors and sensors to monitor activity in your loved one’s home. If a family member is inactive, or they forget to take their medicine or close the front door, a notification is sent to your smartphone so you are made aware instantly and can handle the situation.

If you or a loved one isn’t ready to wear a personal alarm but needs extra support to keep living independently at home for longer, check out SECOM’s Smart Wellness home monitoring system. It’s a great alternative to traditional telecare and more cost-effective than care homes, offering peace of mind for the whole family.

How our personal alarm service works

Wear your alarm

You can wear your device on a necklace or wristband. Keep it with you at all times, even in the bath or shower.

Press the button

If you feel unwell, suffer a fall or need help in an emergency, press the button on your pendant alarm.

SECOM Care app

Your emergency contacts will be notified right away. They can respond to your alarm or escalate it to us.

24-hour monitoring

If your emergency contacts aren’t available, we’ll step in right away. We’ll assess the situation and call the emergency services if you need them.

Who uses our personal alarm service?

SECOM CareTech supplies monitored personal alarms to older adults, people with disabilities and those who are frail, vulnerable or live alone.

Our alert systems allow elderly and disabled people to raise an alarm at the press of a button, letting friends and family or a dedicated response centre know they need help.

Before buying an alarm you may ask yourself, why don’t users simply use their phones? But the truth is, those who are at risk of a fall or becoming ill don’t always get to their phones in time. A telecare device means you or a loved one is always protected, even in the bath or shower.

Take a look at our range. We supply pendant alarms, fall alarms and GPS alarms.

Value for money

Panic alarms are a great alternative to more expensive care services. If you have a long-term health condition or disability, you may be entitled to VAT exemption, reducing the cost of your alarm by 20%.

Let us know when placing your order if you qualify for VAT relief or need help assessing your entitlement. We will explain the criteria over the phone and make sure you pay the lowest price.

Better care, faster

When you press the emergency button on your alarm, the device will send an alert to our ARC (Alarm Receiving Centre) and your close family and friends via the SECOM Care app.

If you require medical assistance, our response team will call for an ambulance and pass on your medical history to the paramedics so they are better prepared when they arrive.
