Personal alarms
So we are looking at a personal alarm. He doesn't want a pendant as they "label" him. Obviously I don't want to but one of those given his reaction to the phone.
I've read that there are various watch versions, with GPS, wireless, button which will send out a message to various phone numbers, two way voice contact etc etc.
The price for the different brands varies widely. Could owls provide information on their experiences with different ones so that I can make an informed choice?

Re: Personal alarms
Hi @Isteri 🙂
It sounds like you are looking into a Personal Emergency Response Device. This isn't something I have knowledge on I'm sorry, but I'm wondering if your GP or Carers Australia could help you find some answers?
@Shaz51 and @Former-Member do you know of anyone on the forums who might have relevant information on these devices, what's worked etc.?
Thank you 🙂

Re: Personal alarms
No personal experience with them other than my grandma had a pendant one 20years ago.
Watch type ones sound far less obvious.
Sorry I can't help you more than that, but if you look up three different surpliers, then call and ask which they would advise and why, you are likely to get some comprehensive feedback.
Perhaps call a nursing home that has independent living chalets as part of their complex and ask their liaison officer about them. They might have valuable feedback about what works best and why too.
