Senior Alert Scheme - Personal Monitored Alarm IRD 

Duhallow delivers the Seniors Alert Scheme in Cork and Kerry. It enables older persons (65yrs+) to continue to live securely in their homes by providing them with a personal monitored alarm and pendant. The alarm is supplied and installed free of charge along with one year of monitoring. However, if there is no suitable landline available and a mobile signal is used to connect the equipment to the monitoring providers, a fee will be charged annually for the SIM credit. To apply, contact Julie or Colm on 029-60633 & press 3 for personal alarm queries.
