The Yare Care Alarm itself is a special unit which is linked to the client’s telephone line and will automatically dial the 24hr control centre when the pendant is pressed. The pendant can either be a neck worn or wrist worn. All you need is a working modern telephone point with an electric power point on the same wall.
The information which you have provided is held on our computer and will automatically link to your call providing us with your name, address, nominated contact details, medical details and any other important information. This will enable us to deal with your call in a more efficient matter.
