What is Telecare?

Telecare is a service that helps to support and enhance the opportunity for people to continue to live in their own home and/or maintain an independent lifestyle with the appropriate level of carer support.

More than 90% of people say they want to live independently in their own homes for as long as they possibly can. For today’s telecare users, they can be assured of total peace of mind, knowing that help is always available, 24hrs a day, 7 days a week.

Telecare is customisable to most individual’s situations. Here are just a few examples of some groups of people who have benefited from the implementation of a telecare package:

• Those who are vulnerable or at risk
• Those with disabilities
• Those with learning difficulties
• Those who live alone
• Those with sensory impairment
• Those with limited mobility
• Those who are frail
• Those who are at risk of falling
• Those who can’t get to a telephone if they need assistance
