The customer service agent Denys…

The customer service agent Denys Oleksiienko was very helpful setting this up and explaining all of the options available which put my mind at rest about caring for my mum who has had a couple of falls recently. I think their package is excellently priced and gives real value for money. The unit is super easy to set up and comes with comprehensive instructions.

Spoke to a lovely lady Amy Woollett regarding a pendant alert system for my Mum.
Right from the start of the conversation Amy was polite, clear to understand, so helpful, listened to all my questions and answered fully.
Very straightforward and delivery of item was fast tracked to enable my mum to come out of hospital, knowing she could call for help, should a problem arise.
I would definitely recommend this company.
Fantastic service and to have Amy so caring, talking me through everything was brilliant

I was very impressed with Clive Tong in Customer Services when I rang with a query regarding returning my recently purchased Abby Personal Alarm. In fact I have never come across such a helpful and efficient person in any Customer Service position before. He knew exactly what was required and dealt with it immediately. He even rang me back a few minutes later to confirm everything had been effected as promised. Careium is lucky to have an employee such as Clive Tong.

Great Customer Service A+++

Great product, Service and customer care team.

Service like this is what gives you confidence in referring your friends and family to a business, If there was ever a need i would come back to Careium due to the help that we received today from Denys Oleksiienko.

He was kind, direct and helped us with a problem where other companies have made things drag. Denys Couldn't do enough for us and did it efficiently, thank you.

Companies usually cant do enough when onboarding new customers but Careium cared from start to finish.

I dealt with Sophie Farrant today who was very professional and considerate throughout the call. Very efficient and very clear with her explanations. Nothing was too much for her and since I have booked things the after service has been excellent as well.

Not only great for the elderly

Not only great for the elderly, but for the disabled too. After breaking my back I needed a way of contacting help when I have falls (they happen frequently). This system is perfect. It's on hand 24/7 meaning my family get to relax a bit and I get to stay in my own home independently. Very highly recommended.

Excellent advice

I called yesterday to enquire about the ABBY service that Careium offer on line. I was a little concerned as I wanted to switch from Careline to Careium after reading an article from Switch.
Clive Tong was very helpful and explained how I could switch over after my current term ends in June with Careline. He explained the ABBY system, cost and that as I’m diabetic the cost would be VAT exempt. That was news to me. He also immediately set up a basic account for me with a date for a follow up call to finalise the set up and switch over. I’m very impressed with the way my initial enquiry was handled.

Fell and was quickly helped to get on my feet

I fell and was unable to get up. I had to hit the button attached to my wrist and pray help would soon arrive. It did and Sadie Younas arrived and soon got me on my feet and took care of me. I'm very grateful Sadie!! Thank you!

Situation solved thanks to Yvonne Szigeti

Quickly spoke to a person who was immediately able to resolve my situation. The easiest company I have dealt with all day on the same topic of having to close an account following a bereavement. Exactly what you need when times are tough.

Help for the computer helpless

I initially spoke with DENYS, who connected me with Clive Tong, with whom I discussed the service provided and how I could get the emergency service.
I could not send back the ABBY onboarding form, nor send in my photo. Clive took my info over the phone and is arranging for a completed form to be sent to me for signature.
Without the help of Denys and Clive, I would not have been able to sign on for the emergency assistance.
