Personal emergency alarms and monitors
For more information, visit the Parkinson’s UK website (last updated October 2020).
Carrying a personal alarm is useful if you experience falls. It also gives your partner or other family members peace of mind if they are concerned about you when you are alone.
You may be able to get a personal alarm or monitor from your local council or from a charity, such as Age UK. If you think you would benefit from an alarm or monitor, speak to your GP or Parkinson’s nurse.
