Our ageing population

Our ageing society poses one of the UK’s greatest challenges. By 2026 the over 65s will account for almost 48% of the total number of households in the country[1]. More and more elderly people want to stay in their own homes and that’s where social emergency alarms and Telecare services can play a vital role.

Providing security and peace of mind is what we do. We understand that the service we provide is an essential part of allowing people to live their lives, knowing that support will always be there if they need it.

CarelineUK is a registered Alarm Response Centre and is the largest provider of emergency alarm monitoring services in the UK. We answer over one million calls a year, of which over 30,000 are 999 emergency-based and result in alerting the emergency services and ensuring that they have dealt with an incident. We have helped many organisations deliver telecare services to their end customers and the service can be branded in line with their needs and strategy.
