Wandering
Medication mismanagement
Fire
Flooding
Carbon monoxide
Gas leaks

The equipment is linked to a 24 hour monitoring centre, where a trained operator will manage an appropriate response as required.
Stand Alone Telecare Equipment can also be used within the home to alert an onsite carer or family member via a pager system.

Through using Telecare you will:
- Feel safer and more confident at home
- Ensure help is called quickly in the event of an emergency in the home or in the community
- Maintain independence with daily tasks like washing, bathing, cooking, cleaning, and gardening
- Give reassurance and peace of mind to your family or carer
- Reduce the likelihood of hospital admission
- Reduce the need for domiciliary care or going into a care home
