Disruption to payments - Tuesday 22 April

Due to essential maintenance, we’ll be unable to take payments online or at our contact centre on Tuesday 22nd April from 9am. We hope to be back up and running as soon as possible.

Lifeline

You can buy the Lifeline alarm service from us to help you to stay safe at home.  You wear a pendant with an alert button, then if you need help (perhaps because you've fallen or feel unwell) you just press the button and we will be able to speak to you and send help at any time of the day or night.

We will set up a small community alarm box somewhere handy in your house.  It will be plugged into the mains power, and some types of alarm box need to be plugged into a phone line.  We will also give you a small pendant which you can wear on a cord around your neck, or on a wrist strap.

After speaking to you, the Lifeline team can: 

  • phone a relative or friend 
  • sending one of our emergency responders to check on you or to help you get up if you've fallen
  • call an ambulance if you want one, or other emergency services 
  • givie you general information and advice 

The service costs £19.50 per month (64p per day) in Stoke-on-Trent, or £25.75 (85p per day) outside Stoke-on-Trent.  For this, you receive the base unit, alarm button, and 24/7 support from the control centre plus free support from our emergency response service.

For an extra 19p per day, you can also have a second pendant - this is useful for couples.

If you would like the Lifeline service, please contact us on 01782 23 4545 to arrange a demonstration and installation.
