The Personal Alarm Service provides clients with a personal alarm pendant that can activate a call if the person needs medical assistance. Red Cross has a number of different alarm programs, each of which has different eligibility criteria and costs.  Your information will be used to determine which program you may be eligible for and you will then be advised of the costs involved.  

There are no contracts involved with having a personal alarm, however when the alarm is no longer needed it can be cancelled and as soon as the alarm is returned to Red Cross the payments will stop. For more information about personal alarms please contact our program coordinator on the number provided.
