Taking Care is a leading provider of technology-enabled care products and services.
Headquartered in Exeter and founded in 1985, Taking Care provides personal alarms, smart home monitoring products and associated monitoring and emergency call response services for elderly people to enable them to live safely and independently in their own homes.
Taking Care supports over 150,000 end customers across the UK and has excellent customer ratings.
The business has demonstrated impressive and consistent growth, with revenue increasing 87% between 2020 and 2024.
The UK telecare market is expected to continue to grow strongly, driven by an ageing population, more independent living in later life and greater use of accessible digital technology.
In December 2025, LDC backed Taking Care’s existing team, led by CEO Steve Gates, in a management buyout from AXA Health. LDC will support the business as it expands its services to support more people to live independently at home, and in targeting complementary acquisitions that broaden its range of products and services.
