A Brighter Blue Monday
The Monday blues takes on a whole new meaning today as this year, January 16 has been titled Blue Monday – the more depressing day of the year.
What is Careline?
The Careline alarm is designed to help older, frail or disabled people remain in their own homes, with the knowledge that they always have somebody to help them in an emergency.
The Careline service includes an alarm base unit, which plugs into the telephone line, and a comfortable pendant which goes around the wrist or neck. All attachments are included in the Careline package.
The Careline alarm can easily be installed and tested by the user. Once the test is complete, the user will be connected to our 24-hour care team.
In an emergency, the alarm user simply presses the red button on their pendant and the monitoring team will respond. The situation is assessed over the base unit's loudspeaker and help if found in the form of emergency contacts and, if needed, the emergency services.
The Careline Alarm Package
Careline Base Unit
Alarm users in Barnsley will receive the Lifeline Vi Alarm Base Unit. This device is simply plugged into the telephone socket and the mains power. The telephone itself is connected to the back of the unit, using an adaptor provided. Once connected, users complete a test call with the monitoring team. The base unit has a loudspeaker, which is used by the monitoring team to speak with the alarm user. The alarm user can respond via a built-in microphone. There is also a red help button on the base unit.
Red Pendant Button
Alongside the base unit, alarm users in Barnsley will also receive the discreet pendant button. This device can be worn around the wrist or neck; both attachments are included inside the box. The clever little device is waterproof, which means the alarm user can still wear it whilst they're in the bath or shower. A range of up to 100 metres means that alarm users can still call for help outside in the garden. If the alarm user needs help, day or night, they simply press the red button.
Vibby Fall Detector
Potential Careline users can also upgrade to our Fall Detector package. This special pendant, known as The Vibby, is worn around the neck. The Vibby can automatically detect when the wearer has suffered from a fall in their home. The pendant will send an alert message through to the monitoring centre, without anything being pressed. Confirmation that an alert has been raised will be given by an LED light and vibration. Much like the standard pendant, the Vibby is discreet and stylish. It can also be worn in the bath or shower as it is waterproof. If the alarm user feels unwell or is concerned at home, they can still press the help button on their pendant - as they would with the standard pendant.

Careline FAQs
Our aim is to reassure and give confidence to our users
By choosing a fall detector pendant, you benefit from automatic alerts after a fall. This means you won’t need to press the button if you fall and can’t get up.
The fall detector pendant is programmed to sense when you have fallen. If you do not move within twenty seconds after a fall, the alarm will send an automatic alert to our monitoring centre, and a member of our team will answer your alert and arrange help on your behalf.
Find out more by calling our team on 0808 304 4336.
If you choose one of ourout of home alarm plans, you will benefit from GPS tracking. When your alarm is activated, the GPS feature will provide our monitoring team with your location, allowing them to send the help you need direct to your location.
All pendants are IP67 rated, meaning they are water resistant for up to thirty minutes in one metre of water. This means you can safely continue to wear your pendant in the shower. However, we do not recommend wearing your pendant in the bath, as exposure to soapy water may damage the waterproof seal.
The alarm base unit is not waterproof and should not be exposed to water.
We are committed to helping you feel confident and reassured. That means knowing you can rely on your personal alarm. If you experience any problems with your personal alarm base unit or pendant, call our team on 0808 304 4336 and our team will arrange a replacement.
All orders are dispatched with free next day delivery if ordered before 5pm. This means your personal alarm could be with you within 24 hours of placing your order.
