Safety alarm
A way to ask for help, when it matters.
Doricare describes a safety alarm service for asking for immediate help when an unexpected need arises, such as a risk of falling or significant anxiety.
What support can involve
- A discussion about situations in which a safety alarm may be useful.
- Information about the published 24/7 alarm-help service.
- Confirmation of equipment, activation and the response arrangements.
- Discussion of availability, costs and any limitations before choosing the service.
The 24/7 description applies to the safety alarm service. It is not a promise of round-the-clock medical care, a guaranteed arrival time or a replacement for emergency services.
A few useful answers
Does the alarm mean medical care is available 24/7?
No. The published 24/7 description concerns requesting help through the safety alarm. Ask Doricare to explain exactly who responds and how.
How do I find out whether it is suitable?
Contact the team to discuss the person’s circumstances, the equipment and current service arrangements. Do not rely on this enquiry form for urgent help.
