Our Emergency Resolution Team is one of the major reasons why our range of personal alarms offer true peace of mind to many older and vulnerable people and their loved ones.
We don't just respond, we resolve.
We understand how important our monitoring service is in an emergency and answer alarm calls quicker than many other providers, and faster than 999 calls*.
Unlike some other personal alarm providers who might just answer your emergency calls, we're committed to resolving them.
We'll get help for you in an emergency and keep in touch until the emergency is resolved.
At the heart of everything we do is supporting adults to remain independent for longer and offering peace of mind to those who love them most.
We strongly believe that this can't be done effectively by simply answering calls and pushing buttons but doing everything we can to ensure that our customers and loved ones feel confident and safe using our monitored services.
When you join our service, we ask you to share with us any relevant medical information so we can provide the best service in an emergency.
We're committed to supporting your independence. We offer preventative and home monitoring solutions that continue to support you as your needs change.
Our customers benefit from free delivery with lifetime warranty and repair on rented alarms. Unlike some personal alarm providers, there are no hidden charges or extra expenses.

They are able to view any pertinent medical information or notes on the customer's account so they can arrange the right help or response in as short a space of time as possible. It might be that the alarm wearer simply needs to speak to someone, or they need medical assistance or a family member to be alerted - our team gets it sorted.
The alarms and technology in our monitored personal alarm systems are an essential part of our service, but we see our Emergency Resolution Centres as a real priority too. This is because it's our Emergency Resolution staff that expertly deal with the alerts and calls from our elderly or vulnerable customers in a calm, reassuring and professional manner.

The staff in our Emergency Resolution Centres are trained to handle situations such as falls, medical emergencies, fires, dementia-related incidents, and intruders - they notify the nominated loved ones or the emergency services as required.
