How HelpAlert works
We pride ourselves on being the only monitored alarm service run as a family business. We’re small enough to care but large enough to cope with the needs of your loved ones when it comes to providing a 5-star pendant or watch alarm.
Our 24/7 UK based careline control room is registered and audited by the Quality Care Commission. We are the only private alarm service to be rated in this way which reflects our passion and commitment to our alarm users.
1. Watch or Pendant alarm is pressed
The device will connect to our UK-based control room and the user will be personally greeted by our friendly care team. The user will be able to speak and hear directly through their GPS device or through their home lifeline base-unit.
2. Automatic Falls Detector
We offer a fall detector add on to allow automatic connection to our control room in the event of a fall. This means help will be arranged even if the user hasn’t been able to press the button (this could be due to shock, confusion or unconsciousness)
3. Family and neighbours alerted
Our control room will get in touch with family, friends and neighbours listed on the user’s account to keep them updated with any incidents which may occur. The contacts may be asked to attend to help. If this isn’t possible we will arrange other means of help.
4. Falls Team or Ambulance
If listed contacts can’t attend we may dispatch a local falls team. If the alarm call is more serious and an ambulance is required, this will be arranged quickly whilst keeping the user calm at all times and notifying family and friends at every stage of the emergency.

We cover services all over the United Kingdom. Our medical alarm system operates using a multi-SIM card, which means it can connect to different networks like EE, O2, and Vodafone, ensuring you have a reliable connection wherever you are. It’s like having multiple phone lines in one device, so even if one network isn’t working well, another one might be, keeping you connected in case of emergency.
Monitored in the UK
A personal alarm is only as good as the 24/7 control room that backs it up. HelpAlert has a highly reliable control center located in the UK. When you need help our highly trained team answer the phone within seconds.
Our team will stay on the phone with you to make sure you’re safe while they organise the best way to help you.
