We provide a service that enables people, especially older and more vulnerable individuals, to live independently in their own home. You never know when accidents or incidents will happen, that is their nature. We want you to remain independent at home but recognise you may require a little bit of extra security and peace of mind for yourself, your family and your carers.
As we get older, we’re many times more likely to have an accident. Failing eyesight, poorer balance and slower reactions – sadly, they all play their part, and when you live alone, even minor accidents can have major consequences.
Reach & Respond offers support and peace of mind to anyone, particularly to people who:

Live alone

Are elderly or vulnerable

Are caring for someone

Are at risk of falling or are less mobile

Are unwell

Are at risk of seizures

Have learning difficulties

Are living with dementia

Have recently come out of hospital

Have no regular visitors
How does it work?
Experience peace of mind with Reach & Respond’s innovative technology. Our discreet alarm unit, connected to your home, ensures 24/7 support. A lightweight pendant, worn around your neck or wrist, features a button for instant help in emergencies. Our 24/7 control centre responds to your call and dispatches assistance based on your needs. Even if you can’t speak, our team knows who you are and where you are. Telecare sensors automatically alert us to emergencies, providing a swift response.
Our Digital Lifeline alarm just plugs into an electrical wall socket and uses mobile SIM card technology to raise an emergency call. If an analogue Lifeline alarm is required, this will require a working connected BT telephone line and an electrical socket within 2 metres of each other.
