Our service is there for anyone who feels a need for the security, safety or increased independence it can bring, either for them or their family.

Although many of our current users are elderly, some of whom live alone, the service is available for anyone over 18 who lives inside the Sheffield boundary.

We already support thousands of people across the city. Many people have the service for the security it brings, knowing that if something does happen they’ll have someone they can contact straight away, to provide the help and support they need.

The City Wide Care Alarms service, including installation, monitoring, our support worker response and maintenance, is just £4.93 per week.

The battery only operated unit is £5.45 and the service using a mobile phone signal is £5.50 per week, with customers expected to supply their own sim card.

Please contact us for additional alarm prices as these vary. Any alarm calls made will use your phone line, therefore there will be the additional cost of the phone call each time that alarm is used.
