Telecare refers to a range of equipment and associated services which support and enhance safety and independence at home. Telecare equipment mainly consists of basic community alarms and pendants various sensors which can automatically detect risks to the user.
The main benefits of Telecare are that it may be possible for you stay at home for longer rather than have to go into full-time residential care. It can also support formal and informal carers by giving them added peace of mind. For an information leaflet about ‘What is Telecare’, please see the information leaflet section.
The equipment can sense risks such as smoke, gas, carbon monoxide and falls and automatically calls for help through a dedicated control centre which operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For further information about the equipment and what it can do can be found please see ‘Telecare equipment factsheet’ that can be found in the information leaflet section.
