About Us
Specializing in Medical Alarms/ Personal Distress
Distress Aid Medical Alarms was established in 2005 in Peterborough as one of the only alarm companies to specialize in Personal Distress / Medical Alarms. It is the only service we focus on allowing Distress Aid Medical Alarms to perfect our alarm systems so they meet the latest standards of the industry. While other companies may sell a variety of electronic security systems, Medical Alarms are not their top priority.
