A information meeting on the new Seniors Alert Scheme is taking place in Co. Kildare.
Changes to the programme mean that people over the age of 65 no longer need to be living alone to qualify for the free personal monitored alarm
Over 60,000 people have received the personalised alarm pendant from the Government under the Seniors Alert Scheme since 2010
The scheme is administered by community groups, and those in Kildare are invited to attend the seminar in
Lawlor's Hotel, Naas, on Thursday.
