Careline: a personal safety system with free tailored support

Our Careline service provides more than a personal safety system and 24/7 monitoring service. We identify extra support solutions aimed at improving your safety, independence and overall well-being. 

When installing a Careline system at a property, our qualified assessor will ensure it functions in all areas, including outbuildings. In addition, they will identify any safety concerns and organise the installation of personal independence items, such as: 

  • bannister rails
  • raised toilet seats
  • chair raisers
  • grab rails

Financial, well-being and emotional support benefits

As your circumstances change, there could also be a number of additional free financial and emotional support benefits available, such as:

By discreetly discussing your living and financial needs, our experienced assessors can work with local support organisations, such as Citizens Advice Woking, Community Meals Service and Council Tax service, to provide a tailored safety and independence package.

Where there are concerns about your ability to cope independently, we can work with Surrey County Council’s adult social care to assess and arrange any necessary care services. 

Regular visits, every eight months, allow us to monitor significant changes, such as mobility decline or changes in household cleanliness, ensuring timely interventions. 

The overall effect of our service can significantly enhance quality of life, enabling safer mobility, financial stability, and 24/7 peace of mind with the Careline alarm.
