New Seniors Alert Scheme

The Seniors Alert Scheme (SAS) encourages community support for vulnerable older people through the provision of personal monitored alarms to enable older persons, of limited means, to continue to live securely in their homes with confidence, independence and peace of mind.

If your community group has regular engagement with older people you may be interested in getting involved in the scheme. Interested community groups must register with Pobal who manages the programme on behalf of the Irish Government. More information about the scheme can be found at this link
