Home and Away: Why Dual Personal Alarms Offer the Best Protection for Independent Living
What if staying safe didn’t mean staying home?
For older Australians and New Zealanders, NDIS participants, and carers alike, personal alarms have become an essential part of maintaining independence. But here’s the catch: most alarms are designed for either the home or the outside world - not both. That means there’s often a gap in protection at exactly the wrong time.
Enter the Lifeline/Gem Bundle - a new pairing from Tunstall that combines the reliable in-home support of Lifeline Digital with the go-anywhere confidence of a mobile Tunstall Gem4 or Gem5 device. It’s an offer designed to keep you or your loved one covered, wherever life takes you.
Staying Independent Means Staying Mobile
In Australia, more than 80% of seniors say they want to stay in their own homes as they age. For many, that includes regular outings to shops, cafes, appointments, and social activities. Likewise, NDIS participants are encouraged to engage with their communities and maintain daily routines outside the home.
But here’s the thing: falls, confusion, or medical incidents don’t just happen indoors. And when they happen away from home, a standard in-home alarm won’t be any help. That’s where the need for a dual-alarm approach becomes clear.
Lifeline Digital: Trusted In-Home Support
Tunstall’s Lifeline Digital alarm is a staple in homes across Australia. It connects to a 24/7 monitoring centre at the press of a button—making it a reliable safety net for falls, health scares, or emergencies.
Paired with a waterproof pendant, Lifeline is especially useful during the night or in high-risk areas like the bathroom. It provides rapid response when seconds matter, without needing a mobile signal or GPS.
But once you step outside? You’re off the grid.
Gem4 and Gem5: Confidence to Go Anywhere
That’s why many people also opt for a Tunstall Gem4 or Gem5 device. These lightweight, wearable personal alarms come with:
GPS tracking, so the monitoring team can locate you in an emergency.
Automatic fall detection to trigger alerts even when you can’t.
Two-way voice communication via a built-in SIM card.
They’re ideal for people who want freedom and independence but don’t want to compromise on safety.
Why Having Both Matters
While some people feel safest with in-home support and others value mobile coverage, the reality is that many benefit from a solution that offers both. For those living active, independent lives, having continuous support at home and out in the community simply makes sense.
Think about it like this:
You’re home most evenings - Lifeline Digital is your safety net.
You head out regularly - the Tunstall Gem4/Gem5 has your back.
You (or your carer) want peace of mind 24/7 - a dual-alarm setup means no gaps.
Even better, both devices link to Tunstall’s professional monitoring team—so help is just the press of a button away, anytime, anywhere.
