A gift for the elderly
We understand that as the years go by, our health can provide many challenges through deterioration in older age. But that doesn’t mean that we are all ready to give up our independence for a move to a residential home, and we shouldn’t have to be! With technology like our Careline alarms there is now another option available to us and our family members.
If you have a loved one who is able to be independent, but could use peace of mind when home alone, our personal alarms are the perfect gift an elderly relative.

Who is a Careline for?
