Family members can be anxious about leaving you alone in your home and worry about you falling while they are out. A mobile emergency community alarm may be supplied and reassure them and you that in the event of a fall, someone will attend to you quickly. Some more sophisticated alarms are available which can alert a family member in another room should you get out of bed at night.

Your local social work services department can provide you with information about which services are available in your area.
