Prone to falls? Help is at hand.

Our fall alarm for the elderly is designed to detect and alert a 24/7 monitoring centre in the event of an elderly person falling. The aim of these alarms is to prevent the elderly from being stranded or injured for extended periods of time after a fall, which could result in serious health complications.

If you are susceptible to falling, this plan is ideal for you.

When you suffer a fall and you’re wearing our fall alarm, help is always at hand because your alarm can contact our monitoring team automatically.

Fall alarms are becoming increasingly important for the elderly population, as falls are one of the leading causes of injury and hospitalisation in this demographic. These alarms are designed to detect falls and immediately alert caregivers or emergency responders, allowing for quick and effective medical intervention. With a fall alarm in place, you can continue to live independently without having to worry about the consequences of a fall.

Fall alarms for the elderly are particularly important for those who are at a higher risk of falls, such as those with mobility or balance issues, vision problems, or certain medical conditions. By providing an immediate alert in the event of a fall, these alarms can help reduce the risk of serious injury or complications that may result from delayed medical attention.

Did you know?

  • Falling is the most common cause of hospital admissions for over 65s; 1 in 3 people fall each year
  • If you are over 80, there is a 50% chance you will fall this year
  • If you have already suffered a fall, you are very likely to experience another fall again

For at home and in the garden.

Fall alarms for the elderly can be reliable for use at home and in the garden, but their effectiveness depends on several factors.

Worn comfortably around your wrist or on a lanyard; the fall sensor has a range of up to 200m*, making it ideal for larger-than-average homes and gardens.

If you’ve chosen to wear it on the wrist, the Vibby should be worn on your non-dominant hand (the opposite hand to the one you write with). If you’ve chosen to wear it around the neck, please be advised that it must be worn over clothing.

* This is the maximum distance you can be from the base unit while your fall sensor can still raise the alert when activated.

“Mother in law who is 92 had a couple of falls in her flat. Looked at reviews and decided on Telecare24 Fall plan, it came next working day and was very easy to set up. Did the test, the alarm was loud and clear. My mother in law said she felt a lot safer having the fall alarm on her wrist.”

Frequently asked questions.

Here are some of the most common questions about our fall alarm.

Fall alarms are devices that can detect when an individual has fallen and alert others for assistance.

Anyone who is at risk of falling, such as older adults, people with balance or mobility issues, or individuals recovering from surgery or injury, may benefit from having our fall alarm plan.

You can wear your Vibby fall sensor either on the wrist or around the neck depending on your preference during purchasing.

If you’ve chosen to wear it on the wrist, the Vibby should be worn on your non-dominant hand (the opposite hand to the one you write with).

If you’ve chosen to wear it around the neck, please be advised that it must be worn over clothing.

When you activate your pendant alarm, we’ll speak to you through the loudspeaker and microphone on the base unit. (You can’t use the pendant to talk to us!)

If we cannot communicate with you via the base unit, we will call your landline phone to ensure everything is okay. If there is no response, we will call keyholders or – if the situation requires – the emergency services.

If you have trouble hearing us when we speak to you through your alarm, we’ll call one of your emergency contacts to check that you are okay.

No. The device is not designed to trigger if it’s thrown on the floor or dropped.

When you trigger your alarm, your base unit will dial through to our control centre using an 0844* number. We will not charge you when this happens.

Please note, however, that your telephone service provider may charge you for these calls. Please check your phone providers tariff or visit OFCOM for further details.

*0844 telephone numbers are recommended by Ofcom for contacting organisations such as Telecare24.

You’ll need access to either a master telephone socket (if you still have a traditional ‘analogue’ service) or a broadband router (if you now have a digital home phone service). If you don’t have either one, our GPS plan may be suitable.

You can always speak to our team to discuss your needs.

If the fall 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.

Yes. The fall alarm is waterproof with an IP67 rating, which means you can comfortably wear your alarm whenever you take a bath or shower.

You must connect the base unit equipment to a power outlet. If the power goes out, your careline unit will still function because it has a battery backup that will keep it running for approximately 48 hours.

Keep in mind that if there is a power cut and the battery backup in the base unit has run out, the wearable alarm will not do anything when activated.

The Vibby fall sensor has an excellent battery, which will last for approximately 18-24 months (dependent on use) and has a great reputation for reliability.

  • In the event of a power cut, the ‘Novo’ base unit is features a 48 hour battery backup. Keep in mind that if there is a power cut and the battery backup in the base unit has run out, the wearable alarm will not do anything when activated.
  • If you have a digital home telephone service and your base unit is connected directly to your broadband router, your alarm will only work if the broadband router is still powered on. Learn more about the Digital Switchover.
