The SureSafe Family Monitored Personal Alarm is a simple pendant or wrist-worn alarm that is not connected to a 24/7 monitoring service. Instead, if the SOS button is pressed, the alarm will call up to 3 nominated friends or family members until the call is answered. When answered they are able to talk to the wearer through the base unit to understand what’s wrong. The alarm is fully waterproof so it can be worn in the shower and bath, where falls are most common. Because it is family monitored there are no ongoing monthly fees. It even has automatic fall detection that sets the alarm off if there has been a fall.
