We’re delighted to announce our new partnership with CareCo, one of the UK’s leading retailers of mobility and independent living equipment.
Together, we are strengthening support for older people and the family members who care for them by offering 24-hour monitored personal alarms through CareCo, alongside their trusted mobility products.
For over 30 years, Taking Care has helped older people live safely and confidently in their own homes. By working alongside CareCo, we’re making it easier for families to access both practical safety equipment and round-the-clock emergency support in one place.
A shared commitment to independence
Both Taking Care and CareCo are dedicated to helping people maintain their independence for as long as possible.
CareCo provides a wide range of products designed to make everyday life easier, from mobility scooters and stairlifts to bathroom safety and daily living aids. These practical solutions help reduce the risk of falls and make moving around the home safer and more comfortable.
Alongside these mobility solutions, CareCo's personal alarms, provided by Taking Care, ensure that help is always available at the touch of a button.
Together, we provide reassurance before, during and after life’s unexpected moments.
How do personal alarms support family carers?
Personal alarms for family carers provide reassurance when you cannot physically be there.
If an elderly parent, spouse or loved one presses their alarm, or if a fall detection alarm activates automatically, our UK-based Emergency Resolution Team responds immediately. One of our operators will:
- Speak directly to the alarm user through the base unit or pendant
- Assess the situation calmly and quickly
- Contact family, neighbours or emergency services as needed
- Stay on the line until help arrives
For family carers, this means your loved is never alone in an emergency. There is always a trained professional ready to act.
Personal alarms for every lifestyle
As part of this partnership, CareCo customers can access a range of Taking Care personal alarms, including:
Digital Personal Alarm
Provides protection in the home and garden, with no landline required.
Digital Fall Alarm
Includes automatic fall detection, offering added reassurance for those at higher risk of falls.
Taking Care Anywhere
Offers protection both at home and when out and about, using GPS technology to locate the wearer if help is needed.
Support that goes beyond equipment
While mobility aids play an important role in preventing accidents, we know that reassurance is just as important as prevention.
CareCo fall alarms and personal alarms are monitored by our fully trained, UK-based team 24-hours a day, 365 days a year.
For those who live alone, and the family members who support them, that level of protection can make all the difference.
Reassurance for carers and families too
We understand that personal alarms are often arranged by partners, sons, and daughters who want reassurance that someone will always be there.
Our partnership with CareCo makes it easier for families to find practical solutions in one place by helping them feel confident that their loved one is supported not just with mobility equipment, but with round-the-clock emergency assistance as well.
