Carelink Testimonials
"The Carelink alarm is the lifeline we need to give my family peace of mind. Everyone feels much better now I have one set up. It was very easy to arrange as well and worked a charm."
Mrs Kelly, Plymouth
"My friend recommended that I get one of these alarms as I'm getting on a bit now. He was very right, a couple weeks later I fell but the alarm worked and they got me help very quickly."
Mr Brown, Exeter
"I love my parents dearly and the thought of either of them not being able to get help if they are home alone really worried me. I got a Carelink alarm and it put those worries to rest. Worth every penny!"
Mrs Campbell, Southampton

Carelink Alarm Unit
The Carelink personal alarm unit is what connects you to us. It's a powerful device but it's very simple to use.
The Carelink personal alarm unit plugs into the mains power as well as your phone line. The alarm unit has an extra telephone socket on it as well, so you can keep using your landline exactly as normal.
In addition, the alarm has a back-up battery which provides up to 40 hours of power in the event of a power cut. It will also give audio warnings if the power fails or the telephone line goes down. When the power goes out, we will be notified and will give you a call to check everything is OK.
Carelink Pendant
The Carelink pendant is what you'll use to activate your alarm when you need help and can't get to your phone.
We've all heard that 'good things come in small packages'. This is certainly true when it comes to the small but powerful Carelink pendant button.
With a range of up to 100 metres and a water-resistant design, you can feel safe throughout your entire home, in the garden, and even when bathing. The pendant comes with two wearing attachments for you to choose from. It also has a seven-year battery life. If the battery starts running low, we'll send out a free replacement pendant for you automatically.
How to use your Carelink Alarm
Using a Carelink personal alarm couldn't be simpler. Once the alarm unit is set up, you just need to decide how you'd like to wear it: around your neck as a pendant or on your wrist like a watch.
If you have had a fall and need help getting up, or you feel unwell and need assistance, simply push your button.
Within seconds, you will be connected to our 24/7 Care Team. They will ask how they can help and may ask a few questions about how you are feeling so they can get you the help you need. They will then call your nominated emergency contacts and/or the emergency services if needed.
If you ever press your button by accident, please don't worry. False alarms happen from time to time, so there's no need to panic. Just stay on the line and let our Care Team know that everything is alright. They'll be glad to know that nothing is wrong. What's more, lots of our alarm users find it reassuring to know that everything is in perfect working order.
We hope this has answered your questions about the Carelink personal alarm service.
If you would like to know anything else about our alarms or the other products we offer, then please feel free to get in touch.

Now that summer is here, we are set to face increased temperatures. One of the main hazards to our health at this time of year is dehydration. This is true regardless of age, though the elderly may be at increased risk. Staying safe in summer isn’t just a matter of keeping cool; you should also make sure you are drinking enough. Here are the warning signs of dehydration, as well as methods to keep your fluids up. Dehydration Warning Signs Often, summer heat can be uncomfortable. We sweat more and may end up feeling tired. However, sometimes this discomfort crosses into danger. Sweating reduces the amount of fluid in our bodies, which is necessary for many biological processes. And the tiredness we feel may be a result of poor hydration. Common Signs When you are dehydrated, your body will start to crave water. Unfortunately, in later life our thirst reflex tends to become weaker. This means we may not be drinking as much as we need. Fortunately, increased thirst is not the only sign of dehydration. You may also notice: Serious Signs If you ignore the common signs of dehydration, they could progress into more severe symptoms. These symptoms could Read More
