Who it's for

An elderly personal alarm for people who want to feel safe at home

Whether you need a personal alarm for elderly relatives or a care alarm for elderly parents, our at-home system supports independent living for older, vulnerable and disabled people.

Older adults living independently

Stay in your own home with confidence, knowing help is always one button-press away, day or night.

Families worried about Mum or Dad

Around a third of people over 65 fall each year. An alarm for elderly parents gives your whole family the reassurance that someone is always there.

Recovering from a fall or hospital stay

Coming home after a fall or illness can feel daunting. A personal alarm pendant bridges the gap between clinical care and confident independence.

People with long-term conditions

From mobility challenges to ongoing health needs, a care alarm gives you and your carers a safety net that's always on.

I received the equipment a couple of days after I had asked for it. The setting up of it was easily done and tested all around my house and garden. Both times that I have pressed the pendant button to test, I was answered very quickly. This has made me feel safe.

Digital switchover

Is your current alarm ready for the digital switchover?

The UK's traditional analogue phone network is being replaced by digital services. If your current alarm relies on an analogue landline, it may need upgrading.

Red Button's at-home alarm does not need a landline and works using the mobile network. It is ready now and will continue to work after the switchover.

No landline needed. You are already covered.
