AN alarm system could be the perfect Christmas gift for elderly relatives.

Age Concern’s Aid Call alarm system is proving to be a popular gift for older relatives in Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

“For families thinking ahead, the Aid Call alarm would make an ideal Christmas gift,” said Iain Ledgerwood from Age Concern Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

“Aid Call provides real assurance to families that those using the alarm feel secure to go about their normal lives.

"At this time of year, that message really hits home,” he added.

One touch of the button on an Aid Call personal alarm connects the distressed person to a dedicated response centre, which is staffed by professionally trained operators 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
