City Wide Care Alarms (CWCA)

​​​

City Wide Care Alarms is run by Sheffield City Council. It is an invaluable service for many people. They have a selection of alarms which you can buy, for a weekly fee, which includes the cost of linking the alarm to the CWCA service for assistance when needed.

​

There is a wide variety of alarms available. The most common is an alarm carried or worn round the neck, with a button to press if a user has a fall or other problem. This raises an alert to CWCA and they can then contact a family member or whoever has been agreed to be the main point of contact.

​

CWCA also have bed sensors, which raises an alarm if someone gets out of bed in the middle of the night. This will alert a carer that some assistance might be needed or that there is a risk of having a fall. They also have extreme temperature sensors, that raises an alert if a cooker or heater is left on by mistake.
