What we can offer
content
The Pendant Alarm Service (also known as careline or lifeline) is the most popular personal alarm service for telecare users. The pendant alarm, when activated in an emergency, alerts a member of our 24/7 monitoring team. This puts you in contact with one of our trained operators, who will help you by assessing the situation and taking appropriate action; such as contacting a family member, or emergency services.

We provide a monitoring service that operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
If a personal alarm or associated sensor is activated, a call is immediately made to our 24-hour Monitoring Centre where it is answered by a trained operator.
Direct link to emergency services:
Whatever the emergency, i.e a fall; a house fire; a flood; an intruder; a medical emergency we contact the emergency services quickly on your behalf.

When you receive the pendant alarm service, you are in safe hands and you can reach us at the press of a button 24/7.
We can also provide additional support such as a sensor to detect smoke, a flood, gas, carbon monoxide or extremes in temperature in your home.
These sensors can automatically alert us, as well as yourself. For peace of mind, a sensor can detect if someone gets out of bed or a chair or has left the house when it might not be safe for them to do so alone.
This is particularly useful if someone is suffering from memory loss. There are many other useful ‘alerts’ for example, detecting a fall, epilepsy, managing medicines or bogus caller/panic buttons.

We also offer outgoing daily welfare calls to check on your wellbeing, remind you to take medication or offer peace of mind to carers and family.
If you fail to answer the call then the operator will follow set protocols to arrange help.
This service is a way of providing reassurance to you and your family on a daily basis.
There are a variety of different services for you to choose from and all complement our emergency monitoring services.

When your business closes for the day, weekend, bank holiday, training days or in the event of business continuity we take over all calls from your service users to ensure whatever their needs they have someone to contact 24/7.
We then triage the call to determine the required level of support or advice the caller requires.

If you or any of your employees work alone we can monitor their safety through the day or night in work they are attending through phone calls and GPS technology.

We can remotely link to many car park barriers to speak to customers and deal with issues with drivers accessing or leaving your car park, including opening the barrier which avoids your business having to have someone present on site.
