Mr A, aged 73 from Kent was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s and early onset of Parkinson’s related dementia. The onset of these conditions has meant that his wife aged 55, is now his permanent carer. In an effort to help keep her husband independent at home she ordered a personal pendant alarm from Careline24.

Role of Careline24

Mrs A decided to order a personal pendant alarm from the Careline24 website ”I did a lot of research online and found Careline24 to be one of the best value available”. She added “Careline24’s options of offering to pay monthly or upfront for the year gave me extra flexibility.” After returning the completed application form, Mrs A received her alarm within 24 hours. “After sending our form off I received the alarm for my husband really quickly. Installing the alarm was really quite simple, I just had to plug it into my phone line and power socket and it was ready to use, I couldn’t have asked for a better service” said Mrs A.

Outcome

Mr A now has a Careline24 pendant alarm that he wears round his neck when his wife is not at home. “Sometimes I need to pop out to run errands so having a Careline24 personal alarm means I can leave my husband for a short time safe in the knowledge that if he needs emergency assistance all he has to do is press his red button and the Careline staff will be there to help. “Mr A has found the pendant very lightweight which made it easier to move around their home whilst wearing it. He felt the bright red cover that came with the pendant help him easily identify the pendant when at home. “Having the Careline24 alarm gives us both the independence we need” said Mrs A.
