Most of our customers do not pay VAT on their personal alarm. You may be eligible for VAT exemption if you, or the person you’re
buying for:

• - Have a condition requiring regular - medication
• - Are chronically sick
• - Are registered disabled

If unsure, you can check our VAT exemption requirements when placing your order online or by phone.

The set-up cost includes setting up your account and registering you as a customer. You will need to setup the personal alarm yourself. Clear, easy-to-follow instructions are provided with your personal alarm, although you may need to bend down to reach the power socket for the alarm unit.

• If your personal alarm develops a fault or stops working at any time whilst you are a customer, we will either repair or replace the equipment for you.
• If the pendant battery needs replacing, we'll change that too, free of charge.

• Yes. We don’t charge for delivery and we include next working day delivery for orders received by 1pm, Monday – Friday to all postcodes in England and Wales.

No, the personal alarm equipment is rented from us for the duration of your contract, with the exception of the Personal Alarm Watch and Dementia Tracker which are owned. 

If your personal alarm develops a fault, we’ll repair or replace it for free. When you no longer need the service, we’ll arrange a free return via an Evri ParcelShop or courier collection.

• - If you ever need emergency help but can’t unlock the door, a key safe can ensure paramedics can reach you quickly without causing damage to your home.
• - We recommend installing a secure key safe outside your home and sharing the code with us. In an emergency, we will provide the code to the emergency services so they can enter safely and assist you as quickly as possible.
• - Having a key safe gives you and your loved ones extra peace of mind, knowing help can always get to you when needed.
• - You add a key safe to your personal alarm package when you order.

No, new Taking Care personal alarms won’t be affected.

• The UK is switching from analogue landlines to digital ones. This means traditional copper phone lines will be switched off by 31st January 2027.
• You’ll still be able to have a home phone, but it will connect through a digital hub (usually your broadband router). Your phone provider will contact you before anything changes and tell you what to do.

Why your Taking Care alarm is safe: our personal alarms use the mobile network - not your landline - so they keep working as normal.

The Digital Personal Alarm, Digital Fall Alarm and Taking Care Anywhere use pre-fitted multi-network SIMs to connect to the strongest available signal. Many customers find their personal alarm will work, even in areas with weaker coverage.

If you are concerned about the mobile signal where you live, please call freephone 0800 085 8048 for advice. Lines are open Monday – Friday, 9am – 6pm.

• Our Digital Fall Alarm and Taking Care Anywhere have accelerometers and gyroscopes within the wearable device.
• These sensors react to the motion and impact of the fall in real-time. When a sudden and rapid movement, followed by a lack of activity (immobility), is detected, the alarm interprets it as a potential fall.
• The sensors are calibrated to distinguish between normal movements (e.g. sitting or bending down) and actual falls, reducing the chances of false alarms.

• The fall alarm sensor may not detect every fall as it is designed to detect hard, unobstructed falls. If you are able to do so, you must ensure that you press the emergency button each time that you fall.
• The fall alarm sensor uses an algorithm to recognise the difference between ‘hard’ falls and other movements so like many similar devices on the market, it cannot guarantee to detect all falls because it is dependent on where it is worn and the amount of shock or impact from the fall.
