For many families, summer is a time to enjoy well-earned holidays, days out with the children, and making memories together. But if you’re also caring for an older parent, relative, friend or neighbour, the school holidays and holiday season can bring an added worry: who will be there if they need support while you’re away or busy with other responsibilities?
Whether you're travelling abroad, taking a UK break, juggling childcare and work during the six-week school holiday, or simply spending more time away from home, it’s natural to consider how your loved one is coping.
That's where we can help.
Support that gives everyone peace of mind
Delta Direct is designed to help people stay safe, independent and connected, while providing reassurance to family members and carers. With a range of flexible support options, you can choose the level of help that best suits your loved one’s needs.
Delta Alert: help at the touch of a button
If your loved one lives independently but could benefit from extra reassurance, Delta Alert provides a personal alarm and 24/7 monitoring service.
At the press of a button, they can connect directly to our dedicated team, who will assess the situation and arrange the appropriate support. Help is available 24 hours-a-day, 365 days-a-year, including weekends, bank holidays and even Christmas Day.
For families heading away on holiday, that’s one less thing to worry about.
Delta Active: confidence at home and on the go
Summer often means spending more time outdoors, visiting friends, enjoying the garden, or taking day trips.
Delta Active is a mobile personal alarm with GPS location technology and automatic fall detection, providing support both at home and when out and about. If help is needed, users can speak directly through the device to the Delta team, offering added confidence and independence wherever they are.
Delta Support: a friendly voice when you're away
Sometimes, reassurance comes from knowing that someone is checking in regularly.
With Delta Support, our trained team can carry out regular wellbeing calls to see how someone is doing, provide a friendly chat, and identify any concerns or support needs they may have. These calls can be particularly valuable if family members are away on holiday, working longer hours during the summer, or balancing caring responsibilities with childcare commitments.
It's a simple way to stay connected and ensure someone is keeping an eye on your loved one’s wellbeing while you’re busy elsewhere.
Delta Respond: in-person help when it matters most
For added reassurance, Delta Respond provides access to round-the-clock in-person assistance following a fall or other emergency.
Rather than relying solely on family, friends, or neighbours, trained responders can attend and provide practical help when it's needed most. This can be especially reassuring if you're away from home and unable to get there quickly yourself.
Make the most of summer
Caring for a loved one doesn't stop when school breaks up or when holiday season arrives. However, support from Delta Wellbeing can help ease the pressure, allowing you to enjoy family time, take a well-deserved break, or manage competing responsibilities with greater confidence.
Whether you're planning a summer holiday, spending time with the children during the school holidays, or simply want reassurance that someone is there should your loved one need help, Delta Direct offers support that fits around your life.
