MePACS home alarm on wrist

Monitored personal alarms
with reliable 24/7 emergency response

 

MePACS in-home personal alarms are designed to support people living independently at home, including :

  • Seniors who live alone and may have mobility limitations, are recovering from a medical procedure, or have other health conditions
  • People living with disability, including physical or cognitive disabilities, that may require occasional assistance in case of a fall or medical emergency.
  • People living with chronic conditions such as diabetes, epilepsy, heart disease, or respiratory conditions, and may need prompt support in case of a medical emergency.

The MePACS home alarm system is designed to use around your home and garden, and includes a small wearable device, and a base unit that is installed inside the home.

The alarm is very easy to use – just one button press and you are promptly connected to our 24/7 Australian-based response centre.

How the home alarm works

The MePACS monitoring centre is open 24/7, 365 days a year.

Our dedicated monitors are professionally trained to triage emergencies efficiently and with empathy and care. Alarm calls are answered within 2 minutes and we assess every situation to determine the most appropriate course of action – whether it’s calling a family member, neighbour or carer, or getting emergency services to help if needed.

Unlike self-monitored alarms, we can provide emergency services with all the relevant information about the incident and your condition, so that they can prioritise the call.

Nominated Personal Alarm Contacts

With MePACS, you can nominate up to 4 people who can be available to help in an emergency, or to check on your wellbeing.

Nominated contacts can be relatives, friends, trusted neighbours or carers. They must be able to get to your house within 30 minutes, and ideally have access to your house keys for easy access in an emergency.

You can purchase an external key safe to securely store spare house keys for emergencies.

Ron was at home alone having a midday rest when all of a sudden he was so badly overcome by pain that he couldn’t move.
