Taking Care GO

Select your subscription plan and package options.

If you, or the person you are ordering for, have a condition that requires medication or are registered disabled you may not have to pay VAT on your order. Before you complete your order, you will be asked for some details of the person using the alarm so Taking Care can provide the best possible response in an emergency. Subscription includes rental of the personal alarm equipment.

Taking Care GO is not recommended if you spend most of your time at home because mobile reception may be limited indoors due to mobile blackspots. Taking Care Anywhere is suggested as an alternative and includes the GO pendant with a base unit for the best possible coverage at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to pay VAT?

92% of customers do not need to pay VAT on their orders. This also includes the installation cost if you choose this option. If you, or the person who you are purchasing the alarm service for, have a condition that requires regular medication such as arthritis, diabetes, or high blood pressure, or are registered disabled, you may be able to qualify for VAT exemption.

Check the VAT exemption guide for advice.

Unlike personal alarms, key safes are not eligible for VAT exemption under the current UK government rules. If you order a key safe with your personal alarm, you will always pay VAT on this part of your order.

Can I wear Taking Care GO pendant if I have a pacemaker?

If you have a pacemaker then you cannot wear the pendant and fall detection will need to be turned off. This is because a mobile device should not be placed near a pacemaker.

If you have a pacemaker, tell Taking Care when you place your order by telephone or select the pacemaker option when ordering online. Taking Care will turn off the fall detection feature. You should attach the GO pendant to the supplied split ring, which can be attached to a belt clip or keys, so it is not worn around the neck. The GO pendant must be kept at a minimum distance of 15cm from your pacemaker at all times. If you have any questions or concerns, Taking Care is happy to help. Call Taking Care on 0800 085 8032, Monday to Friday 9am - 6pm, to speak to an advisor.

What network does Taking Care GO use?

The Taking Care GO pendant connects to the strongest available 3G or 4G network.

The 3G network is being gradually phased out over the coming years, with the Government requiring that all 3G networks are switched off by 2033. While the mobile network operators are making changes at different times, you don’t need to worry as your Go pendant is set to "roam" to find the strongest signal that is available for you at that time. There is therefore no immediate issue and we expect 3G networks will continue to operate successfully for many years to come..

What does the set-up cost include?

The set-up cost includes setting up your account with Taking Care and registering you as a customer. The GO pendant will work out of the box and no installation is required.

Does Taking Care GO detect all falls?

The GO pendant has a sensor that 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.

What happens after I have placed my order?

Once you have submitted your order online, you will be taken to a page in order to complete a Direct Debit instruction form. In case you are not able to complete this straight away, a link to the form will also be sent within your order confirmation email.

Your order confirmation email will also include a link to an online account setup form. Please complete and submit this form so that Taking Care have the following details available in case an emergency alarm call is made:

Medical details – so Taking Care can arrange the most appropriate help in an emergency, please provide details of any medical conditions.

Emergency contacts – so Taking Care know who to contact in an emergency, please provide the names, addresses and phone numbers of family, friends or neighbours. Taking Care will also ask if your contacts are keyholders that can access your home in an emergency.

Key safe – if you have a key safe, let Taking Care know the code and location so they can get help to you in an emergency.

If you place your order before 1pm Monday - Friday then your order will be shipped as next working day delivery to postcodes in England and Wales only. For other areas, delivery time will be 48 hours instead. 

If you provide a mobile number, Taking Care will send you an SMS message to let you know your personal alarm is on its way. 

What do I need to use Taking Care GO?

Everything you need is provided with your order and you will also receive an easy-to-follow user guide.

Taking Care will also ask you for some emergency contact numbers who they can contact for you if you need help. If you already have a key safe they will ask for the code and location so if necessary this information can be passed onto the emergency services.

Taking Care wants to be able to arrange the best help for you in an emergency so they will also ask if you have any medical conditions. 

What if I change my mind after ordering?

You have the right to cancel within 30 days of purchase and Taking Care will refund your order once the equipment is returned. 

How do I set up the Direct Debit subscription?

The subscription is paid by Direct Debit and for convenience Taking Care recommends you set this up when you order online. If ordering by telephone then the Direct Debit Instruction will be set up over the phone with you by Taking Care's sales advisors. Your Direct Debit will be confirmed in writing by Taking Care no later than 10 working days before the first collection.

When you place your order online, you will have two payment options to choose from. You can choose to pay the set up cost as part of your first Direct Debit payment, in which case you will need to complete the Direct Debit Instruction shown when you have completed your order.

Or you may prefer to pay the one-off set up cost and first subscription payment by debit or credit card and set up the Direct Debit later. Some customers prefer this option if someone else is paying for the subscription. For example, customers may order the personal alarm service for family members who wish to pay the subscription themselves.

Your order confirmation email will include a link to the Direct Debit Instruction in case someone else needs to set it up or you wish to do it later. If you have any problems setting up the Direct Debit, please call the Taking Care Customer Services team on 0800 085 8032, 9am – 5pm Monday to Friday or email enquiries@ppptakingcare.co.uk.

How do I provide you with the details of my emergency contacts?

If you order online or by telephone and provide an email address, you will receive an order confirmation email with a link to an online account setup form. If you do not have an email address, you can complete and return the form included in your welcome pack with your personal alarm.

Please complete either form so that Taking Care has the following details available in case an emergency alarm call is made:

Emergency contacts – so Taking Care knows whom to contact in an emergency, please provide the names, addresses and phone numbers of family, friends or neighbours. Taking Care will also ask if your contacts have keys to access your home in an emergency.

Medical details – so Taking Care can arrange the most appropriate help in an emergency, please provide details of any medical conditions.

Key safe – if you have a key safe, let Taking Care know the code and location so they can get help to you in an emergency.

If you prefer, you can provide this information by calling Taking Care's Customer Services on 0800 023 4301, Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm.

Can I choose when my order is delivered?

You can nominate a day for your delivery or pay an additional £4.99 for Saturday delivery. Please call Sales on 0800 085 8032 to arrange. 

Who do I tell if my details change?

If you change your address, telephone number or there are changes to your medical conditions or key holders' contact information, please call 0800 085 8032 straight away. Taking Care rely on this information being correct so they can arrange assistance for you if you need it. 

Do I own the personal alarm?

You do not own the personal alarm equipment, it is rented to you for the duration of your subscription. When you no longer need the service Taking Care will provide you with a freepost Royal Mail return collection bag.
