Thank you Careium for your care & help

Thank you Careium for your care & support recently when my husband had a fall in the garden and alerted you with his alarm bracelet. You in turn alerted me in my home. You took care of everything, alerting our children and ringing the Ambulance. My husband was taken to hospital as having a Pacemaker fitted recently his fall had dislodged it. Many thanks also to Mohammed Ali, whom I rang this morning 20 Oct, to inform him of my husbands operation to put things right, he was very helpful and kind.

Excellent service from Angela at Careium…

I received a call from Angela Robinson of Careium Customer Service on Wednesday to tell me that my Mother's emergency call unit was sending low battery warnings to them. She said that she would arrange for a replacement unit to be sent out to my mother on Thursday for delivery Friday so that I could replace the old unit at the weekend.
The new unit arrived promptly and was installed & tested without fuss.
Excellent service, thank you.

Wonderful company

Wonderful company! Your advisers are beyond fault. They are so friendly, understanding and without doubt some of the nicest, kindest people. I keep leaning on my wrist button by mistake but every time they understand and say as long as I’m ok. 10 out of 10 for all of you.

Customer Service

I spoke to Mohammed Ali in Customer Service as my parents had completed the contract and billing forms but had not received their equipment. He could not have been more pleasant and helpful and arranged for the equipment to be sent that day. It was easy to set up and is now up and running. Thank you!

Brilliant at taking someones money, but for what, and after being informed of my father-in-laws passing back in June, and several times since, why are you still sending bills, are you really that desperate for money....

Excellent customer service from Mohammed

Lovely adviser in customer support Mohammed Ali who was both informative and especially helpful. There was some confusion about whether an installation had booked previously and he sorted this out with patience and politeness. Installation now taking place on the date I requested. Lovely man - also kept his promises - emailed me and he got the finance department to ring me immediately. Thank you. It was very reassuring as I was setting up vital equipment installation for my 92 year old father.

So very helpful

When I rang to enquire about a personal alarm for Mum Amy Woolett was so helpful. I had no idea what I was looking for and Amy made it a very straight forward and simple decision such is her impressive knowledge.

Thank you Amy

Unimpressed

I ordered an outdoor personal alarm, after a call to a helpful customer sales representative, on 12 August. Eleven days later I cancelled the service, having received no follow-up from Careium about my personal details nor received the alarm. Having cancelled within the 14-day cancellation period I expected a refund within the 14-calendar-day period required by UK consumer law. When it did not arrive I complained to Careium, requesting an immediate refund and received one a couple of days later. As an elderly consumer, I fall within the vulnerable group that Careium caters for, and consider myself lucky to have experienced slack service at an early stage rather than later with more serious consequences.

Thank you for your review, sometimes we get it wrong but in order for me to look into this and where we went wrong, I have requested more information from you via Trustpilot. - Dave Williams - Customer Experience Manager

Again thank you for your review, having looked into the complaint we have found that there was an issue in the web ordering system that didn't present the order to the customer service team to process. We are sorry that this automated process failed and that your order was not processed through to our customer services team. You were in your rights to cancel and for the payment to be refunded within 14 days and I apologise that this took longer than expected. The finance team and customer services were working together to find the technical issue. This has now been resolved for future web ordering customers. We are sorry that you experienced this and it stopped you becoming a valued customer.

I needed help with my mum's key safe…

I needed help with my mum's key safe for changing the code as the tool to do so had been lost from inside the safe. What made the experience great was the help of two particular staff members, Jon Laker and Sophie Farrant. Sophie who answered my call got in touch with the technician immediately and Jon, the technician, went out of his way to help me and I know that this added time to his day - so kind. Both of them were lovely to communicate with, empathetic and understanding as well as helpful - offering options and listening to my issue really carefully - thanks Sophie and Jon, I couldn't ask for more!

Fitting of Key safe & Falls alarm

Jordan McKie fitted a key safe, a wrist band falls alarm and speaker at my Mum's house (Mrs Patricia Williams) on Thursday 14th August. She was so overwhelmed by his politeness and how kind he was towards her. I phoned my Mum from Dawlish to make sure everything was OK and Jordan answered the phone. He explained everything to me over the phone and then helped my Mum from her chair to the phone so that she could talk to me. He was such a true gentleman and a genuine human being. Top Bloke! 👏 🌟 Patricia & Annette
