Careline365 supply personal alarms to those within the UK who are vulnerable or elderly.
We are acutely aware of the challenges faced by older people. As the years advance, health issues can mean that day to day tasks become more difficult. Sometimes this can mean giving up on the idea of living independently altogether. We believe that this doesn’t have to be the way.
Our mission is to help as many people as possible live safe and enjoyable later lives. That’s why we strive to offer our service for the best possible price. We also like to keep things simple. Technology need not be confusing or scary – it can have a huge positive impact on the lives of older people.

Jul 06,2024Don’t pay a year in advance because refunds on the remaining time are ‘apparently’ impossible. Get notifications by post because vulnerable people don’t check each automatic bank transaction and can end up paying for years without noticing. Don’t allow automatic payments because they’ll just keep on taking the money. If you get “a person I’m not allowed to name” on the customer service line, just hang up and try to get someone else or you’ll end up getting shirty. My in-laws had to engage a live-in carer and ended up putting their Careline pendants in a drawer where they stayed for years. (They didn’t work in some parts of the house anyway.) My mother-in-law came across the pendants last week and called Careline to cancel them. She thought she had cancelled them. I called Careline to check it had been cancelled correctly and to ask for a refund for the remaining six months. They had been taking the money each year for a year in advance without a written notification being sent to my in-laws. The third person I spoke to was apparently the right person but was the rude one, and unhelpful, and I ended up losing my cool and being rude back to her when she asked me for the nth time if I wanted to cancel. From then on it was downhill, I’m afraid.

Jul 05,2024Answering on behalf of my Mum - Careline setup was easy and straightforward, staff were very friendly, helpful and polite. We tested the system earlier than intended, Mum had a fall on Wednesday after we had set the system up on Monday. It worked well and Mum had paramedics there to help her within the hour - not the test we would have preferred, but thanks to all for the immediate response.

Jul 05,2024I chose careline after a lot of research It took a long time to fill in the on line form as I didn’t have all the information at hand that was needed The set up of the box was quick and easy and I have peace of mind that my mum will be safe wearing her pendant The voice coming from the box is loud and clear and can be heard from all the rooms in her bungalow

Jul 04,2024I spent a fair amount of time reviewing different products for my mother and settled on Careline365. Delivery was the next day, and everything was set up and working within hours, including a test call. I must say that the people they use on the other end of the call (through the device) have obviously been picked for their clear voice and calm manner, and although I didn't think of this when looking for a device, it really should be part of their marketing as hearing is not always the best at that age and having someone who speaks perfectly is a real plus point.

Jul 04,2024Very efficient from the moment of first call to the go-live of the system which although all done by post took 4 working days. And a price quoted on an out of date leaflet was honoured!

Jun 30,2024The Careline equipment arrived the next day. After filling in the contact details on line, the actual set-up was quite easy. Please talk through where you want to put the base unit first.

Jun 29,2024Our conversation with Jos was excellent from start to finish. He answered all our questions fully and was a pleasure to talk to. The installation process was very helpful and went smoothly. I feel that my Mother is now in safe hands. Thank you

Jun 27,2024Not satisfied at all with this product. We purchased with the fall detection and GPS specifically as our 91 year old mother had numerous falls. The website states: "Fall Detection Includes: The Careline GPS Pendant Fall Alarm contains a sensor that detects when you have fallen. After a fall, it will trigger an automatic call to our Emergency Care Team*, getting you help fast." THIS IS NOT CORRECT. Our mother fell and the alarm did not trigger, it was sheer luck someone called in to check on her about 30 minutes after her fall. The alarm had not triggered. When I called to find out why I was told it only triggers if the user does not move for 90 seconds... in other words if they are unconscious or worse. Our mom had fallen, was in pain and confused. She was not in a state to even think she had to press the pendant. This is not stated anywhere on the website and we purchased for this reason. If a user is confused, has dementia or badly injured enough not to press the pendant they are on their own! Very poor service.

Jun 27,2024We spoke with Jos he was very easy to speak with and could answer our many, many questions expertly. Having never purchased a disability alarm before Jos took his time to run through all the products to find the one that would suit us. With such an important purchase we were quickly put at ease as he ran through the different situations and how the alarm could not only benefit us but save a life. We are very happy thank you.
