Lifeline, monitors and alarms

We can provide sensors and detectors including Lifeline and key safes to help people continue to live safely and independently in their own home.

More about the service

This service is called telecare. It includes:

Lifeline units linked to a variety of sensors and detectors which will alert you, a family member or carer, or our monitoring service, of an incident like a fall, gas leak, flood, power cut and much more. Lifeline can also be used to raise an alarm if you need emergency help.
key safes so that trusted people can enter your home. These safes have been approved by the police.
home security, to check if doors and windows have been left open and protect against bogus callers.
reminders to take medicines, eat and drink regularly and other tasks.
