Very good service
Very good service, except when I set my pendant off by accident and you rang a next of kin, instead of ringing our home landline, where my wife was

We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear about your positive experience overall. We understand your concern regarding the accidental pendant activation and the contact protocol. We are reviewing our procedures to ensure we prioritize contacting the home landline in such situations.

Limitations of the system
The actual buying and setting up process was efficient and those guiding me were patient and helpful. However,after3 months when about to go on holiday I wanted reassurance on what I needed to do. I had read the booklet but feel there is no substitute for being able to speak with a customer servicer employee. I was only able to hear a recorded voice and unable to ask questions which could have helped ease my anxiety. I feel this is a great limitation of the system.

Taking care alarm for piece of mind
I ordered a take care alarm system on recommendation of my husband’s carer. It arrived within 24 hours . My son set it up for me and I now wear the alarm 24/7. I found the instructions easy to follow and have added a couple of more contacts if needed for emergencies

problems with my alarm watch
I was really pleased to receive my personal alarm watch. However, it is so thick that I ended up with with bruises all over my lower arm .Please is it possible to change it for one that hangs round my neck?

Antwort von Personal Alarms from Age UK Trading
Hi Shelagh,
Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear your current alarm watch is causing bruising. I have requested a member of the Customer Service team to contact you to discuss an alternative alarm.

Performance below expectations
While I cannot fault the customer service provided by Age UK and the response provided when my personal alarm is triggered, the actual equipment itself has unfortunately not performed terribly well. The first issue is that I live in a rural area with little to no mobile signal, so while the base unit (with dual SIM technology) can connect to the network the voice quality of conversations had via the base unit are often of poor quality, with the person at the other end struggling to hear, so not ideal. I purchased the extra fall detection feature but in the time I have been wearing the wrist band I have had about 8 falls ... and only one was detected. I am a woman in her eighties, only about 5ft 3in and quite light (just over 7 stone), so may be there just isn't enough inertia being generated. Either way, the wrist band cannot be relied upon to detect my falls. I also find that it is extremely easy to accidentally press the button in the centre of the wrist band, especially when washing and drying my hands. Not a problem in itself as it is easy to cancel a call ... but I then have to get to the base unit (which may be on another floor) and then explain (across a bad quality connection) that it is a false alarm. So that is why I have only given 3 stars ... I have been using the device for about 5 months and so far the performance is below expectations. If I thought another unit might perform better I would discontinue with this service, but I think they are all likely to suffer from the same issue, given my particular circumstances, so sticking with Age UK for now.

Peace of Mind
Alarm is always answered quickly so I feel secure wherever I am. Help has always been organised as soon as possible when needed. Follow-up calls aid confidence as do calls to named relatives. The pendant is easy to charge. In the past I have experienced failures of the chain, which is disconcerting, and it is not easy to acquire a new one.

There is no online user interface to update details
Nice compact system, which seems to work well. However, there is no online management or portal. You either have to fill in a long (7 page) "online" form or ring customer services every time you wish to change anything at all
