Home emergencies such as fire, gas leaks or flooding can be especially dangerous for people living with dementia, learning disabilities, or physical impairments. Standard alarms are often missed or misunderstood, increasing risk and adding to carer stress and anxiety.

Possum’s linked emergency detectors connect alerts across the home and to carers or monitoring services, ensuring help can be raised quickly. This reduces risks, supports independent living, and provides peace of mind for families and professional carers.
