Everyone is so polite whenever my alarm goes off. I'm still getting used to it. I find it hard to cancel it, but on this occasion the helpfull lady said to hold the button until it says Cancelled. Sorry I forgot the ladies name.

Excellent backup service and works really well
Needed a personal alarm following falls - reviewed market and this seemed good although fairly expensive.
Delighted with it though!The whole process is simple - with support if needed. The remote pendant is very sensitive - can go off if dropped for instance. Control staff very fast and very understanding. Worth every penny!

Have used my personal alarm twice in first year. Very fast response both times sympathetically dealt with.
My only concern is that I find it quite difficult to hear you talking but realise if I give an account of what has happened the situation is dealt with effectively.

Fortunately I have not needed to use it for an emergency, but being able to continue wearing it particularly whilst I shower, has meant I no longer need someone 'on stand by'.

Could be better in several ways.
I have had this service for 3 yrs now. The last time I tested my personal alarm was 12th Feb 26 (am overdue for the next test) and I wasn't impressed with the very delayed response I received. I had a new smart meter put in 5 days later and the electrician needed to let the Taking Care team that my electricity would be off for a while. He was not impressed by the waiting time either. I wear the watch type alarm but it only has one strap to hold the extra length of strap with holes, not needed, and it needs 2 to stop the strap catching on clothes.

Hi Bethany,
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent experiences with our service. I am sorry on your recent alert the call did take 2 minutes to connect to our emergency team, we aim to answer all calls within 30 seconds, which I am glad to see on other occasions they were.
We understand how crucial a prompt response is, and we are actively reviewing these incidents to identify areas for improvement in our response protocols. We also acknowledge your comments about the watch-style alarm strap and its design. Your insights are valuable as we continuously work to enhance our products and services.
Kind regards,
