Supportive customer service

I had to have the fall alert removed as it was too sensitive but the company were helpful and supportive. The personal alarm gives me peace of mind in the house and garden in case I need help.

Personal alarm - a two - way process

My personal alarm is as requested ; and it turns out to be a very stylish wrist watch ! I received clear information about how the alarm process works . But unfortunately it arrived in a box which did not contain the equally important Key Safe . Which suggests that my personal circumstances - no family or keyholder friends - was not adequately understood/registered.

Help in an emergency

The answer from the call centre was very quick when I pressed the button on the pendant. The handler was efficient, and calm and her questions were to the point and searching. Whilst attempting to assess the situation, she was reassuring me. I felt that I had confident help and support. Thank you.

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.
