Mums can call for help
AGE Concern Doncaster has come up with an unusual Mother's Day gift idea for mums who are unsteady on their feet
A personal alarm system, Aid Call, provides 24-hour reassurance to older people that they are not alone and can gain instant help should they have a fall or accident in their home or garden.
"Retaining independence in older age is vital to many people and being able to continue living in their own home plays a big part," said Derek Broughton from Age Concern Doncaster.
"Aid Call is quite literally the gift of independence; you can't always be there but Aid Call can."
One touch of the button on an Aid Call personal alarm connects the distressed person to a dedicated response centre.
It is staffed by trained operators round-the-clock.
To find out more call Age Concern Doncaster on 01302 811174.
