Personal Alarms for the Elderly
Here at SECOM, we offer a selection of wearables to give individuals and loved ones the peace of mind that should anything happen, help is just the push of a button away.
Peace of mind for families
Thousands of families across the UK have benefited from knowing there’s 24-hour monitoring in place should a loved one experience a medical emergency or a fall. Users can choose between a pendant, brooch or wrist strap depending on their preferences and easily send a signal to emergency contacts or the SECOM monitoring team.
SECOM Care App
Linking a personal alarm to a loved one’s smartphone couldn’t be easier with the SECOM Care App. When the alarm is triggered, an alert is sent to the devices of pre-registered emergency contacts, allowing them to handle the situation and decide on appropriate next steps.
If for any reason the emergency contacts are unavailable, SECOM’s monitoring centre will step in immediately. Trained personnel will assess the situation and contact the emergency services if that’s the appropriate action to take.
Futureproof care technology
Our personal alarms use built-in SIM cards to connect them to our monitoring centre. This means they don’t rely on landlines or the internet. As the UK prepares for traditional landlines to be switched off, you can rest assured there’ll be no need to update your personal alarm solution.

Selection of personal alarms available
Selecting the right personal alarm for an individual’s needs and circumstances is vital and we’re here to talk you through the options. As well as deciding on where to wear a device – on a pendant, on the wrist or via a brooch – it’s worth scrutinising the functionality that will be required.
While the all-important emergency button to call for help is a feature common on all personal alarms, there are other elements to consider too. Fall detectors ensure nobody ends up lying on the floor for long periods of time and GPS technology can help track an individual who may venture beyond their home or garden.
Care Hub
Care Hub comes with a waterproof wearable and is designed to monitor an individual in their own home. The base unit has a built-in microphone and speaker so the user can talk directly to a member of our monitoring team.

Care Hub Plus
Care Hub Plus offers the additional peace of mind that comes from being equipped with fall detection technology. A ten-second pre-alarm sequence allows the wearer to cancel the alert if they haven’t experienced a fall. The device then glows to reassure the individual that help is on its way.

Care Go comes complete with built-in location tracking and a hands-free speakerphone. It enables individuals to venture beyond their front door, safe in the knowledge they are covered while outside of the house should they need any assistance.
