INS LifeGuard
At INS LifeGuard, we are all about helping people stay safe and independent. That’s why we offer a range of in-home and mobile personal alarms for the elderly.
Whether you're worried about a loved one living alone, or you're looking for a way to increase your own safety, a personal alarm from INS LifeGuard can give you the reassurance you need, knowing that help is always available if needed. Be it a fall or an emergency, our personal alarms for the elderly can immediately put you in touch with our monitoring centre or your emergency contacts.
Our response centre is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by the most qualified nurses to guarantee immediate access to emergency support whenever you need them. Having a nurse on call is an important distinction, we know of no other business that offers a personal alarm service of this calibre.
INS LifeGuard personal alarms and nurse call systems allow seniors to live more independent and active lives, knowing that aid is available at the touch of a button, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Step 1
In the event of an emergency, press the button on your personal alarm system. We can also supply a Fall Sensor that automatically triggers an alarm when a fall is detected.
Step 2
An alarm is sent to a nurse in our emergency response centre, who has access to your personal details and medical history. The nurse will call out to you over a two-way speaker on your emergency unit. You need not be near the unit to be heard.
Step 3
The nurse will assess the situation and send whatever help is required – whether that be your emergency contacts (family member, neighbour, or friend), or emergency services.
Step 4
If the nurse is unable to make voice contact, an ambulance will be dispatched to your location. No matter what the situation, rest assured help is on the way.
Our in-home personal alarms for the elderly include emergency response by healthcare professionals 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, a free health information and chat line, and even a free TeleHealth service if monitored by family or caregivers. Optional services, like professional TeleHealth service, virtual nurse or GP consultations, home automation, activity and safety monitoring, and many others, can be added.

A personal alarm is a device that can be used by an individual to summon help in the event of an emergency. Personal alarms, also known as “panic buttons” or “emergency buttons,” provide peace of mind, particularly for elderly people who live alone but still value their independence. These devices empower seniors to live life on their own terms while ensuring help is just a button press away when needed.
There are two types of personal alarms at INS LifeGuard: on-the-go and in-home. On-the-go personal alarms for the elderly are portable and can be taken with you wherever you go. Equipped with exceptional features and functionalities such as 24/7 monitoring and fall detection, these personal alarm systems are especially advantageous for individuals living alone and wish to maintain their independence while staying safe and worry-free.
On the other hand, our in-home personal alarm systems are designed to be installed in your home to give you peace of mind while you’re there. Whether you're feeling lonely or simply need someone to talk with, an INS Nurse is available day or night for you to call and have a conversation with. You can also reach out to INS LifeGuard anytime for information or support.
The best personal alarms are those that are easily activated in an emergency and those that come with an array of features. INS LifeGuard’s personal alarms are designed to be easy to use and offer a range of features that help enhance the safety of the elderly.
Some of the features that our personal alarms offer include:
INS LifeGuard's personal alarm for seniors works by providing a wearable device that seniors can activate in case of emergency. To use our personal alarm:
* INS LifeGuard has no control over the local environmental factors that may affect network coverage and voice quality. Even if we cannot communicate with you via the personal alarm system, rest assured that we have received the signal and will dispatch assistance.
Free Nurse Chat and Health Info Line
If you are feeling lonely and need someone to talk to at any hour of the day or night, an INS Nurse is available for you to call. Our chat line is designed for the lonely or socially isolated who may need reassurance or just someone to talk with. In addition, you can contact INS LifeGuard at any time for information or assistance. On request, our nurses can communicate with your GP or other primary care providers.
Welfare Checks
We conduct welfare checks after hospital discharge and at the request of caregivers and families. These welfare checks benefit anyone vulnerable and living alone, including people with disabilities, seniors, and individuals working in remote areas without supervision. Furthermore, these welfare check services guarantee that our support extends beyond emergencies, providing ongoing peace of mind and assistance when you need them the most.
