What is a personal alarm service?
A personal alarm service is a device or service created to provide assistance and emergency support to individuals, typically the elderly or those with disabilities, who may be at risk of accidents or medical emergencies while living independently. Personal alarms are especially valuable for those who want to maintain their independence but need a way to get help quickly in case of an emergency.
How does a personal alarm work?
When in the house or outdoors, your loved one can raise an alarm for help at the touch of a button and speak to our expert team 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Press the button
The user presses a button on the personal alarm pendant or base unit if they are in distress, have a fall, feel unwell or need assistance.
Speak to our staff
Our staff will speak to the user via the base unit or pendant. If our team cannot get in touch, they will summon help.
Help is on the way
Help will arrive from a nominated key holder (relative, friend or neighbour) or, if necessary, the emergency services.

Brilliant & quick service
I have been with Careium for many years now & have nothing but praise for their service. I have had to use my alarm a few times & each time they have responded very quickly & got help for me. l have just received a new alarm for wearing around my neck & the postman put it through my letter box as l pulled it through it must have pushed the alarm. The next minute they were ringing me to ask if l was OK. Brilliant service.

A Big Thank You to Careium
I really appreciate all the help and support Careium give us, my Mum lives on her own at the age of 88 and knowing the devices installed/maintained by Careium gives my wife and I piece of mind.
