Hi folks,

One of my parents is currently in a wheelchair and is getting on so I'm looking into getting some sort of a home emergency distress alarm should anything happen.

What I'd be looking for is something with a trigger that's lightweight and unintrusive and could be carried on him at all times. If it could be linked to a 999 phonecall or even an automated text message to designated numbers would be fantastic.

Can anyone recommend any such systems??

Thanks,

Ciaran.

See http://www.assistireland.ie/eng/Information/Information_Sheets/Choosing_a_Personal_Alarm_System.html - there are lots of products listed on that site too.

PS 'constricted'??? I have a vision of them twisted and tied into their chair! Most wheelchair users don't talk about being 'confined' or 'bound' to a wheelchair. It's just something they use.
