Kill Action Group is a registered provider for the Senior Alert Scheme, which provides a personal monitored alarm for those aged 65 and over, living alone or with another person who meets the eligibility criteria and residing within the area.
The alarm can be worn as a pendant or on the wrist like a watch, and when pressed a call is sent to a 24-hour monitoring centre.
The equipment is free. However, there is a fee for monitoring the alarm.
A landline, mobile phone or broadband connection is required to install and connect the alarm.
