Confidence that help is on hand should you need it
If you have a medical emergency or need assistance, pressing the button on your bpha Respond pendant will connect you to a trained operator.
Depending on the service you choose, they may contact a nominated family member or friend, send an Independent Living Housing Responder to your home, or call out the emergency services.
The bpha Respond alarm connects to your telephone line - installation is included with the service. Costs start at £3.50 per week. Find out more information about the service on page 20 of our Independent Living brochure.
bpha Respond customer, Tim: “My health condition means my mobility is very limited, so I use a wheelchair. I live on my own and enjoy my independence but the fact is, moving into and out of my wheelchair can be difficult. If my knee locks, I fall and can’t get up.
“If that happens, I press the alarm and someone answers straight away – I can rely on that. It gives me security and means I don’t need to worry - I’m much happier knowing that if something happens, it will be ok.”
