Community Alarm / Red Button

I have just acquired an alarm that can be activated in the case of a fall or other emergency. My father used to have one and it was used in emergencies. I feel that if you live alone or even occasionally alone when your carer is out it gives you reassurance that you can get help if needed.

Just an option.

  • Hello Ysta and thank you for posting.

    A community alarm or red button can certainly offer a lot of reassurance, especially for people who live alone or who may be on their own at times when a carer is out. It is helpful to hear that you have seen it used effectively before and that it gave peace of mind in real situations.

    Posts like yours can be really useful for others who may be thinking about practical ways to feel safer and more supported at home, so thank you for taking the time to mention it.

    Best wishes,
