More about the service
This service is called technology enabled care. It includes:
- Lifeline units that detect if you fall and raise an alarm if you need emergency help.
- Gas leak, flood, power cut alerts sent to your emergency contacts and our monitoring service.
- Police-approved key safes so that trusted people can enter your home.
- Home security, to check if doors and windows are left open and protect against bogus callers.
- Reminders to take medicines, eat, drink and do other tasks.
This equipment is easy to install. We'll do this for you. You do not need a landline phone for it to work.
We'll help you to identify the best person for us to contact in an emergency.
