Pendant Alarms for the Elderly
Pendant alarm devices are worn like jewellery around the neck or like a watch around the wrist and allow the wearer to call for help with the touch of a button. Some devices can automatically place calls after a heavy fall to our monitoring staff. Our pendant alarms for the elderly can help in an emergency.
At Telecare24, we want to ensure you are as safe as possible, so the wearable pendant that you get with our Fall Alarm plan is wrist-worn only. A wrist-worn pendant alarm that has built-in fall detection is more accurate and accessible than a neck-worn fall pendant in an emergency.
What is special about pendant alarms?
A pendant alarm for the elderly is designed specifically to meet the needs of older people who have limited mobility and may need assistance in emergencies.
Pendant alarms for the elderly are wearable devices that can be worn as a pendant or watch, allowing the wearer to keep the device with them at all times. This allows them to quickly call for help without having to search for a phone or shout loud enough for a neighbour to hear.
Pendant Alarms for the Elderly - How do they work?
A pendant alarm for the elderly works by allowing the wearer to quickly and easily call for help in case of an emergency. The device is typically worn as a pendant and contains a button that can be pressed to initiate a call for help or place calls automatically to our monitoring centre during the fall.
Not everyone can use a mobile phone. An elderly person may have difficulty due to shaking hands, sight problems, or forgetfulness. They might also be unable to locate it or use it during a sudden illness or fall.
A pendant alarm can give you, or your loved one back their independence. They will have the confidence to get out into the garden or get out to visit friends.

Pendant Alarms for the Elderly FAQs.
A pendant alarm is a wearable personal alarm device that can be worn around the neck like jewellery or like a watch around the wrist*. When a fall occurs, you can get immediate help with a simple press of a button.
At Telecare24, we want to ensure you are as safe as possible, so the wearable pendant that you get with our Fall Alarm plan is wrist-worn only. A wrist-worn pendant alarm that has built-in fall detection is more accurate and accessible than a neck-worn fall pendant in an emergency.
Within 5 seconds*, our highly-trained care team will begin speaking to you. Then we’ll get you the most appropriate help.
* Based on using our Digital Pendant and Fall Alarm plans when connected using an ethernet cable.
We have different variations of pendant alarms. On our pendant alarm and fall alarm plans, the wearable device connects with a base unit. The base unit stays at home, and is connected to a 24/7 monitoring service via either your landline telephone or using advanced mobile technology.
Telecare24’s fall alarm plan is a type of an alarm that also has built-in fall detection, meaning it can activate automatically if it detects a fall. We also have a standard pendant alarm plan – this does not have a fall detection feature and needs to be manually activated during an emergency by pressing the panic button on either the wearable device or the base unit.
We also have a GPS pendant alarm. This is an ‘away-from-home’ pendant alarm which depends on mobile network signal and can be freely used outside the home, anywhere in the UK where there is a mobile signal.
Pendant alarms come with a built-in speakerphone, enabling direct two-way communication between the wearer and the careline service responder.
If the person cannot speak, the monitoring centre agent will assume it is an emergency and contact emergency services or their key holders immediately.
The range of the pendant alarm varies depending on the specific device.
Most ‘at-home’ pendant alarms have a range of up to 200 metres from the base unit, which should be sufficient for use in and around the home.
Some pendant alarms such as the GPS alarm from Telecare24 do not have a base unit. Instead, they have built-in GPS technology that lets our team know where you are, making it ideal for somebody who goes out and about most of the time.
Some pendant alarms are waterproof or water-resistant, but it is important to check the specifications of the particular device.
Telecare24 provides waterproof pendant alarms which are suitable to wear in the shower or bath.
The battery life of Telecare24’s of the wearable pendant device is 18-24 months, depending on use.
The base unit that comes paired with the pendant is mains powered.
In the event of a power cut, the base unit has a 48 hour battery backup.
If the pendant alarm is accidentally activated, the monitoring centre will contact the individual to ensure that everything is okay. If they cannot reach anyone, they may contact emergency services as a precaution.
Our team is trained to respond to any and every call for help, even those that are made by accident. You should not worry about calling for help accidentally.
At Telecare24, we don’t mind accidental calls because it lets us know that your device is working properly should you ever really need us.
The cost of a pendant alarm varies depending on the specific device and the features included. Compare our prices for more details.
The pendant alarm you get with our pendant alarm plan comes with a strap or wrist loop that can be worn around the neck or wrist, as desired.
Pendant alarms are recommended for older people who live alone, have limited mobility or have a medical condition that poses a fall or emergency risk.
They can also be beneficial for people with cognitive impairments or disabilities.
