My Dad had one through our local council it was really cheap just like pence a week and worked wonderfully he rarely had to use it but I think it was every week they did a test to make sure it was working ok A wonderful invention x

Hi I am a newbie so bear with me. My partner may have dementia but still having tests. As he falls a lot I thought of a personal alarm so I would not be worried when I have to go out. My problem is do I go for the ones that you pay a monthly or annual fee or the ones that you just buy the unit, but not sure how they work. Any advice would be helpful so thanks in advance.
