Emergency mobile communication

23rd Jun 2010

Q. Judy
I was wondering if there is a product that can be worn by a pensioner in & out of home for emergency calling.
My father is 85 and lives alone and there are no relatives living in a close proximity. All family live in another state.

A. There is a system called VitalCall, that is operated by Chubb. They provide a simple to use mobile device that can be activated by pressing a large button. Once connected to a member of staff, who can access previously supplied information, they will arrange for the necessary emergency service to attend. For more information, call 1300 360 808 or visit their website by clicking the link below.
