Have your alarm and key safe set up and tested for you
Add Taking Care's professional installation service to your package if you would like someone to set up your Classic Personal Alarm for you. We do not currently offer an installation service for our in-home digital personal alarms as these only need to be plugged into a power socket.
Taking Care will arrange a time with you for a professional installer to set up your personal alarm, check it works correctly and register it with our monitoring service. They will show you how it works and answer any questions you may have.
You can choose a time when friends or family can be with you if you like, so the installer can answer any questions they may have too.
If you order a key safe, they'll fit this for you too, at no extra cost. Please have a spare house key ready to store in your key safe.
The installation and demonstration can take about an hour.
Openreach have announced that by 2025 all analogue phone lines will be replaced with digital ones. To ensure personal alarm customers are supported during and after the switchover, Taking Care have tested the full Age Co Personal Alarm product range in Openreach's laboratory with the leading telephone providers' networks including BT, Sky, TalkTalk and others.
"Digital Alarms" are future proof and do not rely on a telephone landline. They will not be affected by the switchover to digital phone lines. All calls and data are included in the subscription.
"Landline Alarms" connect to a traditional telephone landline but have been tested in Openreach's laboratory with the leading telephone providers' digital networks to ensure maximum longevity. However, you may need to pay an upgrade fee if your telephone provider makes a change in the future that affects your alarm. For more information, you can speak with the Taking Care Sales team by calling 0800 085 7371. Lines are open Monday – Friday, 8am - 6pm.
You can find out more about the digital switchover in Taking Care's Resources and Advice hub or on the Openreach website.

Many customers do not need to pay VAT on their personal alarms or the installation service.
This is because the alarms are categorised as VAT exempt by the UK government if you, or the person you are buying the alarm for, have a condition that requires regular medication or are registered disabled.
