A Personal Message from Maureen Cable, owner of Helpline
When I started Helpline 16 years ago, I was driven by a passion to protect our loved ones from unnecessary illness and death. As a former nurse, I have seen first-hand the vital importance of getting rapid help after a fall, or onset of a serious health problem. In hospitals, we call it ‘The First Golden Hour.’ If you or your relatives have a problem and get assistance in that first hour, their chances of returning to normal increase significantly.
I had no idea that 16 years later, we would be one of the UK’s leading providers of lifeline alarms, serving thousands of families across the country. We would love to help you and are here to answer any questions that you have.
Why are personal monitored
alarms so important?
Personal monitored alarms ensure you can stay connected and protected in your own home. Should you fall or become ill, a personal lifeline alarm can mean the difference between disability and recovery as Helpline’s founder and former nurse, Maureen Cable explains:

This is exactly why Maureen launched Helpline in 2007 — to ensure as many people as possible can get the help they need as quickly as possible.
Helpline is now the UK’s leading provider of personal lifeline alarms, serving thousands of families across the country.
