Taking Care Personal Alarms extends exclusive partnership with Age Co to support Age UK
Technology services provider Taking Care Personal Alarms has announced that Age Co has extended its existing exclusive relationship, a move that is testament to the company’s quality of service.
Through this partnership, Taking Care will continue to be the sole provider of personal alarms sold under the Age Co brand.
The Age Co Personal Alarm Service is designed to help older people live safely and independently in their own homes, with customers receiving 24/7 monitoring from Taking Care’s UK-based Emergency Resolution teams.
This partnership is particularly key considering the upcoming digital phone line switchover, with fears that some alarms currently on sale may become outdated in the near future.
By choosing an Age Co alarm from Taking Care consumers ensure they are buying alarms that are resilient and comply with government recommendations in the National Telecare Action Plan.
“We are incredibly proud that Age Co has extended our exclusive partnership,” said Steve Gates, MD at Taking Care. “It is a testament to the hard work of our team and the quality of the life-saving service we provide. We are deeply committed to helping people maintain their independence through the Age Co Personal Alarm.”
The Age Co Personal Alarm service provides peace of mind with a range of products, including alarms that work in the home and garden, as well as location-aware GPS alarms for when users are out and about.
“When a customer chooses an Age Co Personal Alarm, they are not only getting a top-tier service from a trusted provider, but they are also supporting the work of Age UK as our profits are given to the charity,” said Wendy Madelin, Director of Partnerships at Age Co.
“This partnership with Taking Care is a perfect alignment of our goals: providing high-quality solutions for later life while funding essential support for older people.”
With over 30 years of experience, Taking Care has supported over a quarter of a million people. The firm offers a range of personal alarms and 24/7 monitoring from its UK-based Emergency Resolution Centres.
Earlier this year Taking Care warned that thousands of older and vulnerable people could be unaware of how the digital switchover may affect their personal alarms.
