I have been delighted with the service you provide with the alarm. There is always a person who answers the alarm. I did have to use it after a fall, and my neighbours were with me in no time, and the emergency services arrived ten minutes later.
I have knocked off a star because of the design of the wrist alarm which comes undone unless I use a rubber band to hold the strap in place.

Please feel free to call our Customer Service team on 0800 0121321 if you require the wrist strap to be replaced.

Reliable help when needed

I have had a fall when I broke my hip when I was in the garden. The paramedics were sent to me. When I fell at home I had a quick response and key holder was soon with me. I rate this as good help.

The response is always quick. Fortunately I've not needed help
Yet but have triggered a few false alarms. The responder has always been polite and understanding. It's very reassuring to know someone is always there to help if needed.

As I have not ordered a personal alarm recently, not for the last 3 years your email was a complete an utter waste of time. When asking how this came about I was passed from Age UK Trading to Take Care who then tried to pass me back to Age UK Trading. Obviously neither organisation had any idea what had gone wrong and were unsure where to obtain an answer. Best to just put the phone down. But here we are again for the second time of asking. Can someone sort it out?.

It would be useful if on page 16 of the user guide you made it clear that the alarm unit is a sealed item . Mine had the red light flashing every 4 seconds which apparently means the battery is getting low. I couldn’t speak to anyone as is was the weekend, so I sent an email. A couple of hours later a lady called and explained it all to me. So now I’ll get a phone call to receive a new unit . It would be helpful to be able read this in the booklet.
