Emergency alerts

Be told straight away if a parent describes an emergency

A parent living alone may mention a fall or chest pain to a caller before they tell family. Hassist listens for exactly that on every call and acts within minutes.

Short answerWhen an elderly parent describes something like a fall, chest pain or trouble breathing on a Hassist call, the family dashboard shows a red emergency alert, the Hassist team is alerted, and Hassist phones the family, then the local contact if nobody answers.

Key facts

What happens, in order

The call is marked urgent. The Hassist team gets an instant alert. Hassist then phones your primary contact, then your second contact, and only if nobody answers, your local support contact. Each step appears on your dashboard.

A local contact matters

Someone who can physically reach your parent is the part software cannot replace. Add a neighbour or relative nearby as your local contact.

No false reassurance

The dashboard shows only what really happened: who was called, who answered, and who is next. It never claims a call that was not placed.

Not an emergency service

Hassist is not an ambulance or emergency-response service. In danger, call 112 first.

Frequently asked questions

Does Hassist call an ambulance?

No. Hassist alerts its team and your contacts. Anyone in danger should call 112.

What if the parent says “no chest pain”?

A denial is not treated as an emergency; only the parent describing the problem is.

How long does the alert show?

The red alert shows on your dashboard for 24 hours after the call.
