Christie P.
Vibrating Alarm Watch
Easy to use, solid vibration, thank you
I have had vibrating watches before; this watch is the best I had purchased yet!

Heather G.
Doorbell
Fantastic works a treat the flashing light is great - now my mum can know if someone's at the door - it can also change to chime as well. So pleased to have purchased

Tony D.
Wireless Caregiver Pager
This is the second one we have bought. A very effective pager that has very good wireless coverage. We use it for paging from the house to the garage and other locations on a quite large property and it works through multiple walls without failure. Reasonably priced also. Overall, very good value.

Tui E.
Caregiver Pager
As my mother's carer, I purchased the pendant & alarm combination about 15mths ago which has been fantastic & paid for itself more than once. Recently my mother had some health issues and I decided to add the SOS call button watch as it would be easier for her to activate. It just takes away some of the worry and I know she feels more secure. I have no hesitation in recommending Eldertech which I have already done so. Priced well & great communication.
Thankyou.

Jeff H.
Hearing Aid Batteries
Thank you. The cost of these in retailers is exploitative to elderly or anyone in need of basic human needs like hearing. Thank you for making it affordable for those on fixed incomes. I get these for my mum who isn’t in a position to pay what chemists and hearing specialists charge.

Brian S.
GPS Smart Tracker
I purchased this tracker for my 96-year-old uncle who was starting to get lost on his walk around town.
this tracker enabled him to live at home, and we were able to check his location and collect him if he got lost.
The battery life was excellent, and the GPS location was accurate.
Anthony was very helpful and knowledgeable about the tracker, easy to talk to.
Highly recommend this tracker.
Good value and peace of mind.

In-Home Caregiver Pagers & Alerting Systems

At Eldertech, the comprehensive range of Caregiver Pagers & Alerting Systems is thoughtfully engineered to give New Zealand families and home carers efficient communication and maximum peace of mind. These systems remove the stress of constant monitoring, allowing carers to move freely around the home or garden while remaining instantly connected to their care recipient.
Unlike traditional medical alarms that call external emergency services, Eldertech systems focus on localised, in-home care call loops. They rely on robust, open-air Radio Frequency (RF) ranges of up to 150–240+ metres (500 to 800+ feet), meaning they function entirely without internet dependency.

1. Traditional Call Button & Pendant Systems

Designed for immediate assistance, these kits feature wearable transmitters paired with a highly portable receiver that clips directly onto a carer’s belt or slides into a pocket.
• Wireless Caregiver Pager with 2 Pendants ($120.00 NZD): A lightweight battery-powered setup featuring vibration, 5 adjustable ringtones, and bright flashing LED light alerts—perfect for hard-of-hearing couples looking after one another. The two included call pendants feature an IP55 waterproof rating.
• Rechargeable Caregiver Pager Kit ($130.00 NZD): Offers the exact same reliable dual-pendant coverage but eliminates the hassle of constant battery swaps with a sleek, internal rechargeable receiver hub.
• Wireless Pager with SOS Call Button Watch ($89.00 NZD): Ideal for seniors who find neck pendants cumbersome or misplace them easily. The emergency call button is securely worn right on the wrist like a traditional wristwatch.

2. Dementia Support: Wandering & Fall Prevention

When a loved one lives with dementia or high fall risks, active monitoring tools provide critical safety support by tracking movement before an accident occurs.
• Wireless Pager with Motion Sensor Alert ($89.00 NZD): Can be positioned next to a bed or inside a doorway. It sends a silent chime/vibration alert to the carer's pocket pager the moment it detects a senior getting out of bed or attempting to exit a room unsupervised.
• Wireless Pager with Pressure Sensor Mat ($249.00 NZD): A heavy-duty floor mat placed at the bedside or a threshold. It triggers an instant alert to the pager receiver the second weight or a footstep is pressed down onto the mat.

3. Remote Monitoring & Specialized Alerting

For more complex care environments, Eldertech integrates smartphone capabilities and severe sensory loss solutions.
• Multifunctional Smartphone App Connected Pager ($179.00 NZD): Using a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection, this unit pairs directly with the Smart Life App. If the waterproof SOS button is pushed, it rings locally and pushes an immediate notification to the carer's smartphone, regardless of whether they are down the street or at the supermarket.
• Deaf Alert Home Pillow Alarm ($799.00 NZD): Engineered specifically for profound hearing loss or night-time care, this system links up to a powerful vibrating pad tucked beneath a pillow to wake a sleeping carer instantly during an emergency.

Modular, Scalable, and Tailored for NZ Homes

A core benefit of Eldertech’s Caregiver Systems is their complete cross-compatibility. If your care needs evolve over time, you do not need to buy an entirely new kit. You can seamlessly expand your existing system by adding individual components like standalone Extra Receivers ($40.00 NZD), SOS Watches ($49.00 NZD), or Door/Window Transmitters directly into your current setup.
