Alarm necklaces for elderly people

A personal alarm necklace is a simple, comfortable way to stay safe at home and on the go, with help always within reach at the press of a button.

Designed to be worn as a pendant, it stays with you throughout the day without getting in the way. This provides reassurance for people living independently and peace of mind for family and friends.

Many of our alarm necklaces are water-resistant, meaning they can be worn in the shower or bathroom, where slips and falls are more likely to happen.

  • Best for: If you want a simple, easy-to-reach alarm worn around the neck
  • Not ideal for: Those who prefer a watch-style alarm or want a more discreet option

What is an alarm necklace?

An alarm necklace is a wearable personal alarm designed to be worn around the neck like a pendant.

It allows the wearer to call for help at the press of a button, connecting them to our Emergency Resolution Team who can arrange support if needed.

Because it is always worn, it is always within reach, unlike a mobile phone, which can easily be left in another room.

Peace of mind with a personal alarm necklace

It’s natural to feel concerned about a loved one living alone, particularly if they have experienced a fall or are becoming more vulnerable.

An alarm necklace provides a simple way to stay connected to help at all times. Because it is worn continuously, it cannot be forgotten when moving around the home, making it more reliable than a phone in an emergency.

For the wearer, it offers confidence to continue daily routines and stay active. For family members, it provides reassurance that support is always close by.

Our alarm necklaces are designed to be worn at all times, including in the bathroom or shower, where a mobile phone is often out of reach. This means that if a fall or emergency happens, help is always available at the press of a button.

We offer options for use both at home and out and about. GPS-enabled alarms allow the wearer’s location to be shared with the Emergency Resolution Team, so help can be arranged wherever it is needed.

A personal alarm necklace can help people continue living independently with confidence, knowing support is always available. Features such as fall detection can also raise an alert automatically if a fall is detected.

What features should you look for in an alarm necklace?

Choosing the right alarm necklace depends on your lifestyle and level of support needed. Key features to consider include:

Long battery life

A longer battery life means the alarm is always ready when needed, with minimal charging required.

Water resistance

Water-resistant designs allow the alarm to be worn in the bath or shower, where many accidents can happen.

Automatic fall detection

Some alarm necklaces can detect a fall and raise an alert automatically, even if the button is not pressed.

GPS location tracking

GPS-enabled alarms allow the wearer’s location to be shared with the Emergency Resolution Team, providing reassurance when out and about.

Flexible wearing options

While designed as a necklace, many alarms can also be worn on the wrist or attached to clothing, offering flexibility to suit different preferences.
