St John Medical Alarms:

For older people, people with a disability, or those living alone, the concern is who will come when help is required? With a St John Medical Alarm, that worry is taken away with a 24 hour, 7 day a week service that responds instantly to any call for help. 

St John Medical Alarms are small, lightweight devices that connect wirelessly to a unit. In the event of an emergency, the alarm (worn as a pendant or clip on) activates an emergency call to St John. Within minutes, our operators can direct a relative, friend, neighbour or even the emergency services to your home. All St John Medical Alarms come with falls detector technology as standard  and are designed to detect and summon help automatically if the wearer has experienced an unrestricted fall. 

St John Medical Alarms are available throughout Queensland. Please contact our friendly staff for more information on this product and information on pricing.
