emergency calls

Where can i find out about wireless emergency alerting systems.

I have a relative with a heart condition who lives on her own. She needs to be able to press a button which will call an emergency number for help.

Look here: http://www.infospot.com/searchdirectory/shops/Medical%20Alert%20Systems.html

Lots of companies round UK offer these systems. Your local social services will also have details that they can pass on.

My mum has one of these - they give you a lot of peace of mind. As phl666 says, social services or often the local Council's website is a good place to start. They come under different headings such as 'community alarm' or 'promoting independence' so you may need to search a bit. We have to pay about �30 a month, but again I'm sure that varies greatly between areas. Good luck!

Sorry, I meant 'As nickmo says..............'

Careline or the equivilent through your local council Social Services. It will be a red pull cord and or a pendant to wear and the press/pull and are immediately in touch with someone and they can contact relatives/emergency services etc and even have keyholders if relatives are not available
