The fall alarm pendant from Home Help is designed with daily activities and user safety in mind. While it isn’t entirely waterproof, it is water-resistant, making it suitable for most day-to-day situations. This means that while it’s not advisable to submerge the fall alarm pendant in water, it can be confidently used in environments like the bathroom. Being splash-proof, the fall alarm pendant can withstand accidental splashes or brief contact with water. It’s essential to ensure that it isn’t exposed to prolonged water contact. Our commitment is to offer a reliable and durable product, and with its water-resistant feature, the pendant provides both safety and flexibility in various settings.

The fall detector pendant from Home Help is designed with cutting-edge technology to ensure the utmost safety and flexibility for its users. Unlike traditional devices with limited connectivity ranges, our pendant boasts a limitless range. Its functionality is primarily based on a 2G connection, which means it operates effectively wherever there’s a 2G signal. To further enhance its reliability, the fall detector pendant utilises a multi-network SIM. This ensures that the device consistently picks up the strongest available signal, no matter where you are. The extensive range and advanced connectivity features guarantee that you remain protected and connected, regardless of your location.

It’s understandable that accidental triggers can happen with devices as sensitive as a fall detector. If the digital fall detector alarm is activated unintentionally, all you need to do is promptly inform the centre that it was a mistake. Our dedicated team at the centre will acknowledge the false alert and ensure that unnecessary actions are not taken. If accidental activations become a recurrent issue, we can adjust the sensitivity of the fall detector to better match your specific needs and reduce the chances of unintended alerts. Our main objective is to ensure the safety of our users while providing a seamless experience, so we’re always ready to adapt and fine-tune based on individual feedback.

The fall detector alarm from Home Help is meticulously designed to recognize and respond to a majority of falls, especially those that pose significant risks. It uses advanced technology to detect abrupt changes in movement or orientation that typically occur during a fall. However, it’s important to note that like all technology, it may not capture every single type of fall. Some minor falls or very gentle slips might not trigger the fall detector alarm. We’ve designed it this way to reduce false alarms while still ensuring the safety of the wearer. It’s always recommended to manually activate the alarm if a fall occurs and you require assistance, especially in cases where you feel the fall might not have been detected.

Battery reliability is a fundamental aspect of our emergency fall alarm at Home Help, as we prioritise continuous safety and peace of mind for our users. If the battery starts to deplete, a blue light signal on the device will flash rapidly to alert the user. This warning light begins its rapid flashing when the battery level drops to 20% or less. The emergency fall alarm Is designed this way to provide ample time for the user to charge the device or take necessary precautions before the battery runs out entirely. We always recommend regularly checking the device and keeping an eye out for this blue light signal to ensure that the emergency fall alarm is always ready and active when you need it most.

The safety and well-being of our users are of paramount importance to us at Home Help. In the event of an emergency fall, if the alarm is activated and we don’t receive a vocal response from you, we take it very seriously. If you’re unresponsive after the alarm is triggered, our protocol is to immediately contact the emergency services to ensure timely assistance is dispatched to your location. Our system is designed to act swiftly and decisively in these critical situations, ensuring that even if you can’t communicate, you’re not left without help. Always remember, our priority is to be there for you when you need us the most.

Upon recognising the situation, we will immediately notify your next of kin or any listed key holders you’ve provided to us. They can then take the necessary steps to ensure emergency services can access your residence and provide the required assistance. Our system is structured to work efficiently in these scenarios, ensuring that even in challenging situations, you’re never alone, and help is always on the way.
