Platinum Care, WA’s newest private aged care agency, is proud to announce the formation of an alliance with PANDAH Connect, an award-winning, Australian-owned provider of personal alert systems.

PANDAH (the acronym for Personal Alert Night & Day At Home), is an innovative product which sends SMS messages directly to carers’ mobile phones whenever help is required. A 2-way wireless device, it is also able to monitor the user’s well-being several times a day. The PANDAH eliminates the need for costly call centres, doesn’t require a doctor’s referral, will advise if power is lot to the home, and the system itself is fully portable from home to home.

The product was recently awarded INNOVIC’s People’s Choice – 2006 Next Big Thing AwardTM, with INNOVIC’s CEO, Joss Evans declaring it “a worthy winner.”

David Stallard, Director of Platinum Care believes this partnership “will give people the opportunity to have all the safety & security of a staffed retirement home, in the comfort of their own home. People can relax knowing that help is just a button press away.”

Platinum Care’s affiliation with PANDAH Connect, WA’s Retail Distributor, provides users of the PANDAH product with direct access to Platinum Care’s extensive network of care providers, delivering emergency response care within half an hour of an alert being received, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This partnership will bring peace of mind and support to the increasing number of people who choose to remain in their homes but have no family network or friends to respond to a call for help, as well as those whose families can rest easier knowing their loved one is in good hands.
