Staying independent at home - Lifeline and Assisted Living
Cornwall Lifeline and Assisted Living is following the guidelines provided by the Government, Public Health England (PHE) and the NHS. As we move forward over the following days and weeks we will update this information as appropriate.
Lifeline existing customers - Our team are fully operational and remain committed to doing our very best to help you through this difficult time. We are continuing to provide our normal 24 / 7 response to your alarm calls and this will not change. We may need to ask you additional questions regarding your circumstances which will enable us to get you the appropriate help you need, and these questions may be about your risk of Covid-19 and any symptoms you may have.
New Customers - We need to prioritise our resources and this means that we will provide a priority installation service to the referrals we receive from the NHS and Adult Social Care. We will contact our customers that are affected by this decision and contact will be prioritised by date order of your request. If you are ordering an alarm privately we strongly recommend that you use our on-line tool and / or select the self-installation option.
Visiting you at home - Whether we are servicing existing alarm equipment or installing an alarm for new customers we will ask you whether you or anyone in your home have Covid-19 symptoms. When we visit your home we will ask you to leave the room we are working in, our staff will be using Personal Protective Equipment such as disposable gloves, aprons, and masks to protect both you and themselves from the virus. Thank you for your patience.

How Technology Enabled Care can help Falls

We charge a one-off fee of £42.57 (excluding VAT) to visit you at home and carry out an assessment and installation of your Lifeline equipment. VAT exemption normally applies to telecare products.
Many of our customers decide to take our easy self-installation option. Fitting a Lifeline yourself is usually quick and easy and is especially recommended during the Covid-19 outbreak.
How to install a Lifeline
Our low weekly charge includes the cost of 24 / 7 alarm call monitoring, 365 days a year, and any repairs or maintenance required to your Lifeline equipment.
The Lifeline and pendant is supplied at £14.98 a month (excluding VAT)
We also offer an installation service for Police Approved KeySafes for £93.98. This item is not VAT exempt and this price includes supply, fitting by our technician, and VAT.
Many of our clients add extra equipment to their Lifeline, or select from one of our popular packages. Please refer to the price list for more information.
We now also offer Mobile Out-of-Home Solutions so you can have the reassurance of knowing help is at hand whenever you need it.
Our new OwnFone Mobile Device is available for £21.67 (per month, excluding VAT) or choose the Footprint with Location Technology for £28.17 (per month, excluding VAT)
