The Yale model costs about £70 and will call any numbers that you wish. http://www.quicksafe.co.uk/phone-panic-alarm.htm

However you can pay a monthly fee for a monitored system. Never heard of the fire brigade being involved! Why not telephone local council and/or benefits office and enquire if help is available in your area.

I believe AgeUK do one, and possibly the Sovereign Careline operates in her area.

all of the monitored ones have costs, which I think are pretty similar but with slightly varying services. But you need to work out what would work for your mum - we really need a monitored system which will call a local keyholder.

Can you contribute the cost?

Depends on what is offered.

Most of the 'private' ones just phone a relative, or an ambulance if it's an emergency.

Some of the 'council' ones have mobile workers who will attend, useful if there is no neighbour or relative who can respond promptly.
