My South Cambs:
The Community Lifeline Service provides a pendant alarm in your home, which when pressed contacts a response centre so that help can be raised.
Help is available at the press of a button, whenever you need it, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
You can apply online for the Community lifeline service by completing our online application form.
The response centre operators are trained to assess your situation and can arrange for a key holder contact to call, next of kin or the emergency services.
The service gives you and your family peace of mind, that you're safe in your home and knowing that help is available.
A community lifeline is a valuable source of help for people of any age, whether you have a disability, are an older person enabling you to stay in your own home, people living alone or anyone who has a special need.

This will allow any person responding in an emergency situation to gain access.
