Description
For many older adults, and some individuals with injuries or disabilities, living independently at home is incredibly important – though it can come with its own set of risks. But with a Freedom Medical Alarm, potentially vulnerable individuals can rest easy knowing that emergency assistance is only a button press away, 24/7.
Freedom Medical Alarms’ home-based and go-anywhere medical alarm devices give people nationwide the freedom to live life their way, knowing that they have direct access to the 111 ambulance communication centre. Whether they’re looking to enhance safety at home or want the reassurance that help is at hand when out and about, Freedom Medical Alarms can make all the difference.
With fully funded options available for many, and no extra charge for an additional in-home pendant at the same address, Freedom Medical Alarms provides peace of mind and crucial assistance when it’s needed most.
Freedom Medical Alarms is a part of New Zealand Health Group.
