Telecare
Peace of mind for you and your familyWhat does it do?
Telecare services use technology to help you live more independently at home. Telecare services are especially helpful for people with long-term conditions, as they can give you and your relatives’ peace of mind that you're safe in your own home and that your health is stable, without you having to make regular visits to your doctor’s surgery. They can also help you live independently in your own home for longer, so you can avoid a hospital stay or put off moving into a residential care home.
We supply a technology enable care service bespoke to meet your needs in your home, some of which can let a family member, friend, neighbour, know by phone when there's something wrong. These include:
Supplying a personal alarm, where you raise the alert by pressing a button that you keep on you at all times; it's usually on a small wristband or a pendant that you wear around your neck. Supplying motion sensors, which make accidents and falls less likely by automatically switching on your bathroom or hallway lights at night when you get out of bed.
Other sensors can raise the alarm that something is wrong. These include a pressure mat on your mattress that can tell if you've not made it back into bed or a sensor on a door that can tell if it's open or closed. Then if you have a fall, or you haven't got back into bed after going to the toilet in the night, or you've forgotten to close the outside
door, the sensor raises the alarm.
Our GP led monitoring service is on hand 24/7 to help whatever the problem, whenever it happens.

People who need support when dealing with environmental risks in the home such as fire or flood.
People with special needs such as learning difficulties.
People with cognitive difficulties such as failing memory.
Those who need links to other agencies.
