The process of purchase and installation was rapid and the staff were enthusiastic and well informed. I love that it's all made in the UK.

Overpromised. Poor communication

Overpromised on what it delivers. Never came back with the information they promised to find out and come back. Then stopped replying until refund request

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry the service was not suitable in this case.

At this time, our service is only available to English speaking users, as we must be confident a customer can fully communicate in an emergency situation. Due to the language barrier, we did not feel it would be safe to activate the service.

We appreciate this may have been frustrating and apologise for the communication issues. As soon as it became clear the service was not suitable, we arranged a full refund quickly and without hesitation.

This is also why we offer a 60 day money back guarantee and free trial periods, so customers can be confident the service is right for them.

We wish you and your family all the very best.

Kind regards,

Steven

Excellent product

Excellent product. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Emergency response team most understanding. Watch can even be worn in the shower where I have had falls in the past. Good to have re-assurance 24hours each day. Urged by family and O T from local authority to have a personal alarm, so pleased that they did and that after much research I chose HelpAlert.

Hi David,

Thank you so much for your kind review. It really means a lot to us.

I’m so pleased to hear the watch is giving you reassurance, especially in places like the shower where it’s so important to feel safe. Your comments about the team are lovely to hear too and I’ll make sure they are shared.

We’re really glad you chose HelpAlert after doing your research and that it’s working well for you.

Warm wishes,

Would highly recommend

I did a lot of research on the best fall alarm for my Nan, I liked the fact this isn’t run through the phone line so if the phone goes down then my Nan can still get access to help if she falls, also she can go outside it’s not just confined to the property which is great! The device came really quickly after ordering, which was also super easy, the setup is simple and the test call gives you piece of mind so would highly recommend.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. It sounds like you really did your homework, which is exactly what we would hope for when choosing something like this.

We’re so pleased your Nan can use it both at home and when she’s out. That flexibility makes a big difference. It’s also great to hear everything arrived quickly and was easy to set up.

Thank you again for recommending us, it really does mean a lot.

Warm wishes,

After spending time to research the…

After spending time to research the providers on the market all offering similar support packages I turned to customer reviews and the one who stood out to me and my family was HelpAlert and I’m happy to say we are very happy with their support looking after our elderly mother. We have had a few false alarms due to our mothers fidgeting but the response time is very quick and the operator is always sympathetic.

It’s great to hear that you and your family feel confident with the support in place for your mother. False alarms can happen, but it’s reassuring to know the team has been quick to respond and supportive each time.

We’re very grateful you chose us after your research and we’re pleased we’ve been able to support you.

Customer service has been excellent

Customer service has been excellent, both friendly, responsive and helpful. I ordered the wrist watch as I didn't want the stigma of the pendant around my neck. The reason for only 4 stars is to do with the watch. I ordered the skin coloured fabric strap for softness. The strap has worked well but can stain under certain circumstances and the magnetic buckle can dig into my wrist if I am careless. The heart and pedometer options work but tapping their display icons can produce erratic results as the icons are often unresponsive. I don't feel comfortable wearing the watch in the shower or in bed. I leave it beside the bed in the event of an emergency.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We’re really pleased to hear you’ve had a positive experience with the team and found the support friendly and helpful.

We also really appreciate your honest feedback about the watch. The points you’ve raised around the strap, the buckle, and the responsiveness of the screen are very helpful for us to review.

The watch is designed to be worn day and night, including in the shower, so that help is always within reach. That said, it’s important that it feels comfortable for you. We’d be very happy to look at alternative strap options or help improve the fit so it feels better to wear.

Please feel free to contact us at careteam@helpalert24.co.uk
and we’ll be happy to help you directly.

Thank you again for your feedback, it really helps us improve.

Warm wishes,

First class alarm - impressive

First class alarm. We purchased an annual alarm package for our mum & she finds it very easy to use. I was particularly impressed when we did an initial test call & an operator answered within seconds & asked my mum (by her name) if she could help & if everything was okay?). My mum has dropped it twice, testing out the falls alert on the alarm lol, but was able to cancel it quickly by pressing the button .

Great service.

The easy to use website made choosing the right product for my elderly mother very quick and straightforward. We also got the chance to trial the pendant before making the final purchase which was a great help. The pendant arrived very promptly and it was very easy to start using it immediately. My mother was quite nervous initially but after doing the test run, and speaking to a very friendly and helpful lady, we are delighted with the confidence it gives her to go about her day to day life.

HelpAlert personal medical assistance alarm

I knew I needed to get an alarm after I took ill and no-one was around to help me. I settled upon HelpAlert as they offered everything I knew I needed, plus they have “Which” approval. Though I have not needed to call HelpAlert since I’ve received my alarm, I’ve occasionally pressed the alarm button in error and there has always been a quick and friendly response with no criticism for my calling in error, and I am confident that should I need someone to come, they will absolutely be here for me.

Excellent service

Ordered a Personal Alarm Watch for my mum. During testing and setup we had some questions for the HelpAlert Team, which they answered in a friendly and efficient manner.

The whole process gave us real confidence that in the alarm watch and the support around it.
