A defibrillator for elderly parents

Arrange it from wherever you are. We visit your parent to set it up, its daily check comes to us, and we get in touch with you if it needs attention, so there is nothing for either of you to keep on top of.

Arranging it for a parent

Looked after, even from a distance

When a parent lives a long drive away, you cannot check on everything yourself. A defibrillator in their home should never become one more thing for them to manage, or for you to chase. We look after it, so neither of you has to.

You can’t pop round to check on it

We keep an eye on it for you

The daily check of its battery, pads and electronics comes to us, not them. If a report goes missing, we follow it up ourselves.

You want to be told if it needs us

We contact you, them or both

If something needs attention, we get in touch with you, with your parent, or with both of you, whichever suits your family best.

They might not want another gadget

Nothing extra for them to do

We set it up in person and show them where it is and how it works. After that, there is no app, no test and nothing to remember.

Carers and visiting family drop in

Simple for whoever is nearby

It talks anyone through each step, so a carer, a neighbour or a visiting relative can follow it with no medical training at all.

Set-up, daily monitoring and pad replacement come with Complete Protection and rental. Buying outright? It is delivered to your door, without set-up or monitoring.

55 to 65%are aged 65 or over

People aged 65 or over account for most cardiac arrests outside hospital, and 70 to 80% happen at home, which is why a home defibrillator is a sensible precaution.

For you and for them

Support, not supervision

A home defibrillator is a precaution, set up properly and looked after by us. It asks nothing of your parent day to day, and it leaves the way they live exactly as it is.

What it is

  • A quiet presence in the home

    It sits within easy reach and stays out of the way. Most days nobody gives it a thought.

  • Easy to arrange from far off

    You can make the enquiry for them. We then arrange the set-up at a time that suits them.

  • Something to talk over first

    Unsure how your parent will feel about one? Ask us, and we can help you raise it gently.

What it is not

  • A way of checking up on them

    It reports only on its own battery, pads and electronics. It does not track your parent.

  • A replacement for their care

    Their GP appointments, any carers and any personal alarm all carry on exactly as before.

  • A comment on their wellbeing

    Having one is a sensible precaution, not a judgement about how well they are getting on.

And for your own home?
