has anyone heard of or know about some form of community based unit that responds to non medical emergencys [falls ect] to vunerable members of the comunity rather than haveing to call 999?

Hi johnpa

We have discussed pendant alarms before which may help-

ataxia-uk.healthunlocked.co...

The last post in this discussion mentions a fall alarm. I have no experience of these myself but after putting 'falls alarm' into Google, there seems to be plenty on the market. It may be worth having a look yourself or contacting your OT if you have one or social services to see if they can help.

Best Wishes

I have "Lifeline" which is basically a "falls pendant alarm" where you press the button for help.You nominate the responders.
