Service Description
| Freedom Medical Alarms provide both In-Home and Roaming alarms to help keep New Zealanders living independently for as long as possible. There are two alarms to choose from, giving you options to choose the right alarm for your lifestyle. Our representatives will visit you at home to talk about the alarm options and provide a free demonstration. Our alarms are manufactured right here in New Zealand by a Kiwi-owned company and are easy to use, whilst still using the very latest technology. In-Home Alarm: Feel safe and comfortable around your home and garden with our In-Home SEVEN base unit and accompanying wrist or neck pendant. Roaming Alarm: Live your life with no limits with our GO Pendant. The GO Pendant uses GPS technology and cellular coverage to keep you connected no matter where in the country you go (product requires cellular coverage). Both In-Home & Roaming Alarms: Enjoy the best of both worlds by using our GO Pendant when you’re out and about, and the added support of our In-Home Seven alarm at home. The In-Home alarm consists of a base unit and wearable pendant. The base unit plugs into mains power and automatically connects to the cellular network to send alarm signals. When the pendant or base unit is activated, it sends signals directly through to the 111 Ambulance Communication Centre. The 111 Ambulance Communication Centre phones the alarm base unit back and speaks to you through a two-way speaker. If you are unable to reply or they cannot hear you, an ambulance is still arranged and will be dispatched to you as soon as possible. |

Meeting the needs of older people
| Being directly connected to emergency triage specialists means our clients receive the right help in the right timeframe. Clients’ crucial information such as medical history, address, and key details, are stored securely and immediately available to the emergency communications staff at the time of the alarm activation. Paramedics can quickly gain access to clients’ homes and provide help with all the relevant information and no unnecessary delays. This means a faster response, better tailored to your needs. Emergency Ambulance charges resulting from the use of a Freedom Medical Alarm are covered by us as part of our service. A secure keysafe is provided at no extra charge with every alarm installation, which enables the quick access needed for paramedics in an emergency. Freedom Medical Alarms is part of the New Zealand Health Group, New Zealand’s largest provider of healthcare, disability and wellbeing support in the home and community. We can connect you to the right home and community healthcare specialists to provide the extra support you need. |
