Home Safety

A few small changes around the home — a light in the hallway at night, an easier doorbell — can make daily life feel that bit calmer.

Popular types of home safety

Motion-sensor night lights

Plug-in or stick-on lights that come on automatically in the hallway at night.

Loud doorbells and flashing alerts

Easier to hear, with visual flash for noisy rooms.

Key safes

Wall-mounted box for a spare key — useful for carers and family members.

Personal alarms

Pendant or wristband alarms that can call for help with one press.
