A lifeline (or telecare) alarm is a small device, worn on the body at all times, which comes with a base unit. It can be worn in the home and garden, and contains a clear emergency button for elderly people to press to call for help. This alarm requires a telephone line to function, and will send out alerts to our 24/7 monitoring centre.

Read here about our ‘No Landline’ alarms. We also have a range of ‘Family Monitored’ alarms if you would prefer your alarm to call family and friends directly, rather than a 24/7 monitoring centre.
