How Telecare operates
- Telecare is a remote monitoring service that is tailored to your individual needs
- A wide range of sensors and detectors designed to improve safety in the home is available
- Sensors link to a monitoring centre through a lifeline unit, connected by a conventional phone socket and power point
- The monitoring centre answers the call alerts
- Trained operators make contact with you and give the appropriate response - this could be reassurance, a call to a family member or friend, a community response team or the emergency services
Who would benefit from the service?
- Older or disabled people
- Individuals who have been discharged from hospital and require additional support and assistance at home
- People at risk of domestic violence, racial harassment, repeat victimisation or distraction burglary
- Those living in high crime areas
- People of any age living alone
