Having my personal alarm makes me feel more safe and secure, knowing that someone will be contacted in the event that I need help. Set up was relatively easy and support readily available.

Personal safety alarms are discreet devices designed to be worn by the user. In an emergency, such as a fall, sudden illness or confusion, the user presses the alarm button. The device immediately contacts a dedicated care team, who can assess the situation, speak to the user, and, if necessary, dispatch emergency services or notify a family member.
We always recommend that our users test their personal safety alarm when receiving it and regularly throughout the year to get used to using it. Our emergency response team are expecting users to test their devices and will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Our main goal is to ensure elderly people feel safer in their homes and when out and about, which is why our alarms come with all of the following benefits.
Falls are one of the most common risks for elderly individuals. Taking Care’s personal safety alarms can include fall detection technology, which senses when a fall has occurred.

This variety ensures that users can select a device that fits seamlessly into their lifestyle, increasing the likelihood of the alarm being worn at all times.
One of the biggest dangers to elderly people living independently is a slip or fall in the shower. Most of our personal safety alarms are designed to be waterproof, making them suitable for use in bathrooms, where slips and falls are common. This feature ensures protection in areas where help may be needed the most.
For users who are often on the go, GPS-enabled personal alarms provide added security. These devices allow the care team to locate the user in the event of an emergency, ensuring prompt assistance regardless of their location. GPS technology is especially beneficial for individuals who enjoy outdoor activities or live in remote areas.
Users have round-the-clock access to a dedicated help centre. In an emergency, trained operators are ready to respond immediately, offering guidance and contacting emergency services or family members as needed. This constant support provides a crucial safety net for those living alone or for anyone who enjoys having the freedom to leave the house on their own, safe in the knowledge that a caring, responsive team is there to support them.
