Personal Alarms
We believe in making life as easy and as independent for as many people as we can. Our personal alarms can help to make life easier and give peace of mind to families and loved ones. Although the services are provided by North Devon Homes (NDH) you do not need to live in one of our homes to take our alarm services but you can benefit from our charity status and low prices while knowing your payments are reinvested back into housing in North Devon.
Whether you are worried about falling, or wish to let someone know if you’re taken ill or simply want the reassurance that you can summon help when things don’t quite go right, we can install an emergency response alarm unit with a remote trigger button that will give you 24 hour access to friendly trained staff.
If you need advice or reassurance, a visit from a family member or medical attention, we can provide the appropriate assistance quickly and efficiently.
All for a low weekly cost with no installation charges or upfront costs.
All you need to get an alarm is a working phone line and an electric socket that will need to remain switched on. The alarm has a backup battery in the event of a power cut to allow for 40 hours of standby operation.
The remote trigger (which can come as a watch or pendant) can be worn in the bath or shower as it’s water resistant and stretches up to 50m from the base unit in your home meaning you have full peace of mind whatever activity you carry out within your home or garden.
As well as the basic alarm and remote trigger we can provide a variety of specialist telecare equipment designed to make your life easier. We also supply and fit key safes for your home to add peace of mind around losing your keys and access to your home. You do need the alarm service above to be able to take advantage of these options.
Example one:
A falls pendant that will alert the control centre in the event of a fall.
Example two:
A smoke alarm lined to the control centre to provide peace of mind that help will be called in the event of smoke being detected.
Example three:
A pill dispenser that dispenses pills at a pre-set time to help people manage complex medication administration.
We can supply and fit products from our partner Tunstall - their full range of products can be seen here.
Key safes can be fitted. They offer a four-digit combination to hold standard house keys.We routinely supply MasterLock key safes but can also provide “Secure by Design” accredited safes e.g. Supra C500.
