Telecare

Telecare is a range of gadgets that are designed to prompt and assist you with your everyday activities. They can remind you to take your medication or to alert you if you have left your bathroom taps running, amongst other things. Some of this equipment can also alert our Community Alarm Service control room.

Telecare equipment includes: 

  • fall sensors to identify if you or your loved one has fallen 
  • wandering systems to identify if you or a loved one has wandered away from home 
  • bed, chair and floor sensors to identify if you or a loved one is moving about regularly at home, and where 
  • epilepsy sensors to identify if you or a loved one has had a fit
