Pendant alarms

There are a number of different pendant alarm schemes depending on where you live and the level of support that you would like. Some sheltered housing schemes or retirement flats already have them built-in to the system.

Pendant alarms commonly used on the Isle of Wight include Wightcare and Age UK.
