The holiday season is just around the corner and with Covid restrictions easing Australia-wide, many people are planning their first travel for the year. This may leave some people without their usual support network. If you or a loved one is worried about safety and well-being these holidays, here are 5 reasons a mobile personal alarm may be just the answer to your concerns.
1. Added safety when family and neighbours are away on holidays
At this time of year, you may not be able to rely on your usual support network of family, friends and neighbours as many people choose to travel away from home for the holidays.
If you feel uneasy about this and wish to maintain a safety net should the unexpected happen, a monitored personal alarm is a perfect solution. Whether it’s a medical emergency or you just need some reassurance, help is at hand with just the press of a button.
2. Peace of mind for you and your family
There’s no better gift than the gift of peace of mind. If you’re living alone, you no doubt have family or friends who worry about your wellbeing. Accidents and illnesses happen to all of us, so it’s important to have the ability to sound the alarm quickly and get the assistance you need. A monitored personal alarm allows you and your family to relax this holiday season with the knowledge that a fast emergency response is available if you need it.
3. Remain independent at home
Monitored personal alarms give you the confidence to continue living independently at home and to keep enjoying an active life in your community. Knowing that you can immediately access support when it’s needed alleviates one of the main concerns people have about living alone.
4. Get a guaranteed fast response every time
With services such as the Rosie monitored personal alarm, calls are answered by operators here in Australia. Once we identify what help is required, we arrange the right assistance – whether it be an ambulance, the police, fire service or a call to one of your contacts. The Rosie service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and we guarantee that your call will be answered within seconds, every time. You don’t need to worry about disturbing someone’s Christmas lunch or New Year’s Eve celebration – if you need help we’re always available.
5. Falls are automatically detected
Fall-related injuries increase during the holiday season as people festively decorate their homes, entertain more and undertake more home maintenance projects in preparation for guests.
Climbing a ladder to hang holiday lights or dust the ceiling fan, standing on a chair to decorate the Christmas tree or partaking in a few too many celebratory drinks can all result in serious fall injuries. Most common are fractures and head injuries, which can seriously impair your ability to call for help.
Of course, taking extreme care to prevent a fall is the best approach, but should an unexpected fall occur, a personal alarm with fall detection automatically alerts the monitoring operator who will call you within seconds to determine whether you need assistance.
