Testimonials

Hear from our clients

The MePACS staff are lovely, they answer quickly, and I have confidence in the service – I feel that I can rely on them to get me emergency help should I need it.

Joan

MePACS saved my life actually. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for MePACS because nobody would have come to check on me. It’s an excellent service.

Shirley

I was looking for professional, caring and reliable support and I chose MePACS because the service met my exceptionally high standard requirements.

Doreen

It doesn’t matter what age you are, MePACS is a lifesaver. If you’ve got a medical condition, disability or you’re prone to falls, it is essential to have a personal alarm for your safety.

Elizabeth

I am so impressed with the MePACS service. I always have my Home Alarm around my neck, and I wear it in the shower too. When I go out, then I switch it for the MePACS Mobile Alarm and I can even take that on holiday with me.

Yvonne

MePACS has restored my confidence to go out by myself. If you’re a senior who lives alone like me, I would certainly recommend a MePACS alarm. It is essential for us.

Anne

MePACS is excellent. The most important thing to me is that I feel secure with it – I’m not a nuisance to anyone around the place, I just push a little button and MePACS will answer in what feels like no time.

Helen

“MePACS has got, without a doubt, the politest and nicest people. They never seem to be busy, even though you know they are, they’re terrific. I’d give up all my other possessions before I gave up my MePACS alarm.

Robyn

I feel safe and supported to keep living independently with MePACS. They give me peace of mind because I know I can rely on them to answer when I press the pendant for help. The response team are there 24/7, and they have my medical details on file so they’re aware of what emergency assistance I may require.

Home Alarm FAQs

The Home Alarm is designed to work within your home and garden.The base unit has a range of approximately 50-70 metres; however, the actual range will depend on the size and layout of your home and property.

During the installation process, the base unit should be positioned in a central location to optimise the range. We will test the alarm inside and outside your home with you, so that you know the range of the base unit.

For coverage further away from your home, we recommend the MePACS Mobile Alarm, available as a bundle with the MePACS Home Alarm, or the Solo Connect personal alarm watch. Both these devices allow you to connect to our monitoring team anytime, anywhere in Australia with 4G coverage.

The MePACS Home Alarm pendant is completely waterproof (IP67 rated). You can wear it in the shower, bath or swimming pool.

We strongly recommend wearing it in the shower because slippery surfaces can sometimes lead to falls.
