I bought a lifeline because I have had a couple of falls. At the age of 86 and living on my own I thought it sensible to have some contact I could otherwise lay on the floor for six hours or so with no help. My two children keep in contact with me but they live a long way from me

Easy to order and fit.

Easy to order and fit, although a small addition to the instructions would be useful. After a call to the technical guys the problem was resolved. All it needed was a note to say that the unit needs time to find a suitable signal and all works OK. Patient and helpful staff when Mum accidentally pressed the help button and hopefully will not be repeated but good to know that it all works fine.

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, TAKING MONEY FOR NOTHING

My mother had Welbeing for four years and gave notice of her intention to leave in February, 2020 when she was moving to a new house, where I would live with her. She expected a follow up call to explain what was needed but none came.
She has now received a bill for March and April, being told that although they have a record of her call and intention to quit she has to pay it AND pay for the machinery. She paid £75.00 for this machinery on the initial set up and left it behind when she moved.
Really disappointed with lack of good customer service.

EVEN WHEN ILL THIS COMPANY WILL HOUND YOU

I am not going into too much detail as this company is very much aware of its short cummings with me but continues to hound me for a bill when the service has been non-exsisting. Today, after being left with no other choice the names WENDY BARBARA DARLING, STEPHEN LESLIE SMITH AND CAR-JOHAN ZETTERBERG BOUDRIE of WEALDEN AND EASTBOURNE LIFELINE LTD will find themselves named and shamed in the press and on the internet. You all deserve it so much.

TODAY, 01 APRIL 2020 I GET A REPLY FROM A PERSON WITH NO NAME STATING FINANCE HAD BEEN TRYING TO CONTACT ME FOR SOME TIME. ABSOLUTE LIE AS ONE OF YOUR UN HELPFUL PEOPLE CONTACTED ME ON MONDAY LAST USING THE USUAL THREATENING WORDS SO YOU DO HASVE MY PHONE NUMBER, BUT ALL TO LATE YOU NAMELESS INDIVIDUAL.

FURTHER DETAILS AS I RECEIVED A MESSAGE FROM CHARLENE SAUNDERS ASKING ME TO MAKE CONTACT WITH HER AND THIS I DID VIA EMAIL ONLY TO BE SENT AN EMAIL SAYING THE FINANCE COMPANY WILL CALL ME, THIS BEING THE DEPARTMENT THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. CALLED CHARLENE AND GOT NOWHERE FROM THE RUDE PERSON

I have been waiting over a week for someone to call me back having raised a complaint about the service provided to my mother.
They used to provide a good service, but sadly as the company has grown larger over the past few year the monthly fee has risen and the service provided has fallen.
Think carefully before using!!

Set up problems

As people buying this are disabled or vulnerable it should be just plug in and go but it took me a couple of days to get somebody to set it up for me as I could not do it with impaired vision and also mobility problems

Installation of Telecare System.

Installation of Telecare System.
We requested that a Telecare system be installed into my aunt's home as she wants to remain in her own home for as long as possible. Aaron Marshall was the engineer who fitted the system and we couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable and affable person to do the job. My aunt is difficult to deal with at the best of times and she often reserves her more direct comments for people who come to the house (to help her, ironically). Aaron dealt with her in a charming manner; explained the function of the equipment, answered her (skeptical) questions about how it works and generally chatted with her to put her at her ease. I would highly recommend Aaron as a skilled installer with a flair for customer liaison. Thanks very much.

Jim was extremely helpful and very pleasant. He installed the system efficiently and promptly and took the time to explain and demonstrate how it works in a way that put my mother at ease. He was charming and a pleasure to meet. It has given us all great assurance to know that should there be any need, our mother is being watched over.
