How the Telecare Service can support you. 

  • Our Alarm Service gives peace of mind to users and carers alike.
  • We assess your needs to determine the most suitable equipment for you and your environment.
  • We provide you with a base unit that we install within the home and give you a pendant which you can wear around your neck or on your wrist.
  • Our team will demonstrate the alarm working at installation and check the pendant range within your home and garden.
  • Other sensors include fall detector, smoke detector, door or bed sensor
  • Should you have a fall or require assistance just press the pendant and your call will be directed to our very own Alarm Centre based in Macmerry.
  • Our friendly operators are experienced in answering alarm calls and they can get you the right help that you need.

We charge a small fee for our service which is £5.00 a week.
