You can purchase alarm systems specifically designed for older and vulnerable members of the community of Hertfordshire.

These panic alarms or pendant alarms often include wearable pendants or wristbands with a button that can be pressed in case of an emergency. When the button is pressed, it triggers a call for help to a monitoring centre, such as Herts Careline. Our alarms provide peace of mind and quick assistance for people who want to live independently in their own homes for longer.

Pendant alarms, also known as personal alarms or emergency call systems, are available in Hertfordshire for anyone who needs them. Herts Careline is a the option of choice from Hertfordshire County Council who make hundreds of referrals to us every year. These devices allow users to alert for help – 24/7 - in case of an emergency by pressing a button on a wearable pendant. The call operator will take the call and arrange the right help quickly, alerting family, friends and the emergency services as necessary. Find out more.
