The fall alarm sensor uses an algorithm to recognise the difference between ‘hard’ falls and other movements. Like many similar devices on the market, it cannot guarantee to detect all falls because it is dependent on where it is worn and the amount of shock or impact from the fall. If you fall and are able to press the emergency button then you should do so.
Yes, the fall alarm will work up to 75m / 246ft from the alarm base unit. As part of the set up, you will be asked to test the range from different locations by a Taking Care advisor so you are confident of getting help around the home.
You can cancel any false alerts by covering the sensor. Taking Care will always contact you to make sure you are OK if they receive an alert.
The fall alarm pendant has a long two year battery life, depending on use. It performs a daily self-test and has a low battery reporting function so Taking Care will know if the battery needs replacing. Taking Care will replace the battery free of charge.
Yes, the pendant is water resistant up to 1 metre for 30 minutes. You can wear the fall alarm in the bath and shower, which is where slips are common.
If you would like someone to set up your fall alarm then Taking Care are of course happy to do this. Add the installation service to your package for an extra £99 (£118.80 including VAT). You can do this when you order online or by telephone. Taking Care will call you within 1 working day of receiving your order to arrange a convenient date and time.
One of the friendly Taking Care installation team will visit your home and set everything up. They will bring everything with them so you won't receive a delivery in the post. If you have purchased a key safe, they will fit that too at no extra charge. The Taking Care Installer will test your fall alarm and show you how it works.
Yes! Delivery is free of charge and includes next working day delivery for orders received by 1pm, Monday – Friday to postcodes in England and Wales. For areas of the UK that Taking Care are unable to deliver to within 24 hours, there is a 48-hour delivery instead.
