My Department is responsible for the Seniors Alert Scheme which encourages community support for vulnerable older people in our communities through the provision of personal monitored alarms to enable them to live securely in their homes with confidence, independence and peace of mind. Funding is available under the Scheme towards the purchase, by a registered community-based organisation, of a personal alarm or pendant.
The following table provides the approved participants in the scheme for the years in question.
Year | Approved Participants |
---|---|
2021 | 14,255 |
2022 | 15,577 |
2023 to end of September | 12,753 |
