GET YOUR PERSONAL ALARM TODAYIt’s a disturbing fact that 1-in-3 people over 65 will have a fall this year[1].
Falls can have a long-term effect on confidence, impacting independence
and mobility.
A Taking Care Personal Alarm will help you remain independent by providing
a way to get help, day or night, in any emergency. Research has shown that
having a personal alarm reduces overall hospital admissions in older adults
by 50% and by 44% where admissions were due specifically to falls[2].
Not everyone has family or friends who live nearby and can respond in an emergency, or you may not want to rely on them.
A personal alarm can help anyone who wants to continue leading an independent and active life, not just the elderly or vulnerable.

^ Taking Care Anywhere, In-Home Classic + Fall Alarm and Mobile Personal Alarm include fall detection. The fall detection sensor uses an algorithm to recognise the difference between ‘hard’ falls and other movements. 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. If you fall and can press the emergency button then you should do so.”

Our customers rate us as ‘excellent’ on Trustpilot. Read what they have to say about the Taking Care Personal Alarm Service.
I had been shaken by the realisation that I needed help in leading a more secure life at home. The advice and support from Taking Care was invaluable and has given me the confidence to be brave and more relaxed with this new quality of life.
I am recommending them to all my nervous emerging-from-lockdown friends. Their patience and kindness have been exemplary. Thank you so much.
Mrs Hilary Sage
I can't recommend them enough. They have been great at providing my Mum with support when she needs it.
Staff always lovely and my Mum says they have lovely calming voices as she has pressed the buzzer a few times.
Kerry Mitchell
On the occasion when my father sadly fell and broke his hip during the night, I received the SOS call within moments from an operative who appeared genuinely concerned and interested in my Dad's welfare.
I highly recommend their service and consider the costs they charge to be very reasonable, considering the excellent service they provide and the reassurance it gives.
Tim D
A prompt, efficient and friendly service provided to our mother over the years. Very pleased to recommend.
