Could Careline support you or a loved one?

We help around 7,000 customers to live independently in their own home, whether they’re an owner occupier or a tenant. We offer a 24-hour, 365-day a year community alarm service.

Careline can provide help to people of all ages, people with disabilities or long term illnesses, those experiencing domestic abuse, or even if you just want extra reassurance.

With just one press of a button, you can call for help from the comfort of your home. Our friendly operators will see the personal details you’ve shared with us and talk to you to find out what you need. This could be:

“Thank you for all your care and compassion looking after mum. We can’t thank you enough.”
Feedback from a family member of a Careline customer
“Thanks again for your kindness and concern regarding my dad, you yet again saved the day attending early morning yesterday. I know he can be stubborn but he led a very active life until ill health overtook. Today he sang your praises and described you as angels.”

How much does Careline cost?

We provide different levels of Careline service depending on your requirements.

Please note that Careline Levels 2 and 3 are only available to residents living in Bolton. We’d recommend checking if there are community alarm and/or Telecare providers in your area if you require a full service (not just monitoring/Level 1) outside of Bolton. Your local council may be able to provide guidance on your options.

Careline Level 1: 24/7 monitoring only

£17.08

per month

We install a Careline unit in your home and provide a pendant which you wear. A microphone in the unit means that our staff can hear you and you can hear them even if you can’t get to the Careline unit.
When you need help, press the alarm button on your pendant or unit. This will put you in touch with one of our Careline colleagues who will assess the situation and respond how they think best. The response could be sending a doctor, friend or relative. They can also contact the emergency services if needed.
Please note: you must have an agreed local keyholder and responder available 24/7 to choose this level of Careline service.

Careline Level 2: 24/7 monitoring and emergency response*

*Only available to Bolton residents.

£27.80

We install a Careline unit in your home and provide a pendant which you wear. A microphone in the unit means that our staff can hear you and you can hear them even if you can’t get to the Careline unit.
When you need help, press the alarm button on your pendant or unit. This will put you in touch with one of our Careline colleagues who will assess the situation and respond how they think best. The response could be sending a doctor, friend or relative, or or one of our mobile staff members. They can also contact the emergency services if needed.

Careline Level 3: as above (Level 2) and Telecare*

*Only available to Bolton residents.

If you have a social care assessment and are identified with specific health needs, you may be able to have additional equipment fitted to help you remain independent at home.
Each piece of Telecare equipment has a sensor that is remotely connected to the base unit and works by sending a radio wave signal. If a sensor detects a potential accident such as a fall or a bed sensor it alerts our Careline Team.
You can tap the button below to learn more about Careline Telecare equipment.

Could you benefit from our "I'm OK" service?*

*Only available to Bolton residents. Please get in touch for details on pricing.

We have a monitoring service known as "I'm OK". We can install a unit in your home and you simply press the green flashing button each day to let us know you're well.
If you don’t press the button, we will be alerted so that we can check up on you and get help if needed.
The "I'm OK" service is offered as an additional package and charge on top of our general Careline service at three levels of support (A, B, and C) to suit your needs. If you'd like to discuss your options, please get in touch.

The Careline wristband can help you feel safer when you're out and about, too:

Our Careline personal alert wristband gives you extra peace of mind when you’re on your own. It’s available to anyone of any age who wants to feel more secure while out and about.

If you ever feel unwell, have an accident, or simply need help, the wristband makes it easy for someone to assist you. It’s highly visible and includes the Careline telephone number and your unique customer ID so that one of our friendly team members will be able to help right away.

By quoting the ID number on your wristband, we can access the important details you’ve shared with us. This means we can:

The Careline wristband costs just £10 for registration and £10 per year for the service. These costs include registration and setup, the wristband itself, and an annual call to check that your details are correct.

For Careline customers experiencing domestic abuse – and in conjunction with other support services – we can supply a unit that doesn’t make a sound when dialled. We’ll also have notes on our system to ensure we’re able to respond to the situation accordingly.

Where a unit is installed for customers experiencing domestic abuse, we offer 24/7 monitoring only (Level 1). This means that our Careline team can’t attend to domestic abuse incidents in-person; however, they’ll respond by calling emergency services such as the police and will discreetly monitor and record the call for as long as necessary.

If you’re concerned for yourself or someone else, you can tap here for details on other local, regional, and national organisations that can provide support if you’re experiencing domestic abuse.

What is Careline Telecare equipment?

If you have a social care assessment and are identified with specific health needs you may be able to have additional equipment fitted to help you remain independent at home.

Each piece of Telecare equipment has a sensor that is remotely connected to the base unit and connects to your Careline unit. If a sensor detects a potential accident such as a fall or a bed sensor it alerts our Careline Team. Examples of Telecare equipment include:
