How our service works

Our small, lightweight personal alarm can be worn on the wrist or as a pendant. It connects Mum or Dad to our team in seconds, if a fall is detected, or if they press the button.

1

Your loved one needs help

Pressing the button lets us know something has happened.​ If it’s a hard fall, we will be notified automatically.

2

We answer in seconds

Calm, supportive, and genuinely caring, our fully trained team talks through the device to understand what’s wrong, and how we can help.

3

We arrange help fast

We’ll call the emergency services if they’re needed and get in touch with your emergency contacts, such as family or friends, in the order you’ve chosen.

Personal alarms for the elderly, designed around real life

A personal alarm lets your Mum or Dad call for help at the press of a button, wherever they are at home, and with our GPS alarms, when they’re out too. Every Careline365 alarm is also a fall alarm for elderly parents: a built-in sensor recognises sudden, hard falls and alerts our Care Team automatically.

Our team is UK-based, with most from 999 and care backgrounds. They talk through the alarm to find out what's wrong, then arrange help and let your emergency contacts, such as family or friends, know. Choose a wearable button with a home hub, a GPS pendant alarm worn around the neck, or an alarm watch.

Got a question? We've answered the ones we hear most often below. If you can't find what you're looking for, our team is always happy to help.

A personal alarm is a small wearable device that allows you to call for help at the press of a button. It’s designed for older adults or anyone who may need support in an emergency, whether at home or out and about.

When activated, the alarm connects you to a trained response team through Careline365’s EverNear service, so someone can speak with you and arrange help straight away.

When a personal alarm is pressed, or if fall detection is triggered automatically, it sends an alert through to a 24/7 monitoring team.

Within seconds, a trained responder will speak to you through the device to understand what’s happened and decide what help is needed.  Find out more about how fall detection works here.

A personal alarm is for anyone who wants to feel safer and more supported, especially older adults, people living alone, or those with health conditions or mobility concerns. It’s ideal for people who want to continue living independently at home, with the reassurance that help is always available at the press of a button.

It also gives families peace of mind that their loved one can quickly connect to a trained response team in an emergency.

When the alarm is pressed, you are connected to a trained responder within seconds through Careline365’s EverNear service. They will speak with you to understand what’s happened and stay on the line while arranging the appropriate help.

This may include contacting a family member, caregiver, or emergency services, depending on the situation. If the alarm is pressed accidentally, that’s no problem. The team will simply check that you’re safe before ending the call.

EverNear is Careline365’s personal alarm service, providing 24/7 monitoring and emergency response support. When a personal alarm is activated, EverNear connects you to a trained team who can speak with you, assess the situation, and arrange help quickly.

It's designed to connect you to help when it matters most, whether you're at home or out and about.

The alarm device is £99, a one-off payment. EverNear monitoring is from £27.50 per month. Paying annually saves £102.

Your alarm is there to be used, whether that's in an emergency, an accidental press, or your regular monthly test call.

This typical usage is well below our Fair Usage threshold, so most members will never be affected by this.

If we notice unusually high usage on your account, we may get in touch to check that everything is okay and make sure you have the right level of support in place.

In rare cases where usage is exceptionally high over a sustained period, charges may apply under our Fair Usage Policy. 

If you'd like to see the full policy, just get in touch and we'll send it over.

A mobile phone is great for everyday contact, but it isn't designed for emergencies the way a personal alarm is. If you fall or feel unwell, you may not be able to reach your phone and dial for help. A personal alarm is worn on you at all times, and one press of a button connects you straight to our Care Team, who will make sure you get the help you need.

We believe it’s safest and best for every member to receive a brand new wearable alarm, not a previously worn or used one, with its battery life at its best. The one-off fee covers the cost of your new wearable alarm.

A pendant alarm is worn around the neck. Our GPS Alarm Pendant works at home and out and about, wherever there's mobile signal. The Personal Alarm Watch is worn on the wrist and also tracks steps and heart rate. 

If your parent mostly stays at home, the Home Alarm Button & Hub needs no charging. All three have fall detection.

Yes. When you join, you tell us who your emergency contacts are. If the alarm is pressed or a fall is detected, our Care Team speaks to the wearer first. Then they contact your emergency contacts, such as family or friends, or the emergency services, depending on what’s needed.

Our Personal Alarm Watch is built to work as part of your Careline365 service. If you end your service, the watch and its features will no longer be usable.
