What are Hospital in the Home alarm systems?
Hospital in the Home alarm systems are falls prevention alarm systems and personal call solutions configured for home environments where carers need reliable alerts without installing a wired nurse call system. Safe-Life’s Hospital in the Home range uses long range transmitters and professional pagers so alerts can be received across the home.
These home care alarm systems are designed to be portable and expandable. Devices can be added over time and moved between rooms when care needs change.

- Repeaters can be used to improve coverage in larger homes or challenging layouts.
