Community Alarm
Your Questions
What is the Community Alarm service?
The community alarm service provides peace of mind for people who feel at risk in their own homes. It is a 24 hour 365 day monitoring service which works via a special alarm unit connected to the telephone line.
Who is eligible for the community alarm service?
Following an assessment of need (which will take account of your health and social circumstances), we will decide whether or not to provide a community alarm service. We can provide an alarm if you: have an illness, are frail or have a disability which limits your ability to live at home alone; have been in hospital and need some extra support when you come home, perhaps temporarily; and have someone caring for you who needs extra support. If we feel the community alarm could help you to stay at home, we will provide the service and then regularly review your needs.
