Judith, 74, lives alone in a charming miner’s cottage on a 5.5-acre block in the beautiful Yarra Valley. One ordinary day, while hanging out her washing, Judith had a serious fall, breaking her arm and dislocating her shoulder.

“I purchased the MePACS mobile alarm because I needed to feel safe and secure in the community,” Judith explains.

Instant help when it mattered most

When Judith pressed her MePACS alarm, the response team acted immediately.

“MePACS response staff were wonderful. They responded instantly, which calmed me down. They were kind and clear with their instructions. They called the ambulance and kept me updated on how far away it was. I was in hospital for six days and have continued to receive care since returning home.”

Judith firmly believes her MePACS mobile alarm saved her life.

“If I hadn’t had the MePACS alarm, it could have been up to 36 hours before someone found me.”

Freedom and peace of mind

Today, Judith feels confident to get out and about, knowing her MePACS alarm is always with her.

“I don’t always need to stay home. Wherever I go, I have the safety of my MePACS alarm. My family also feels reassured, especially after the incredible response I received that day.”

Judith’s recommendation

“I would certainly recommend MePACS to others. I always say—you need a MePACS mobile alarm.”
