Telecare is the use of discreet equipment that can help tell someone if there is an emergency or if you are having difficulties in your home.
As well as peace of mind for you, your family, and your carers, Telecare may give you more freedom to live independently in your own home. It could even get you home more quickly after a hospital stay.
Telecare can be used in a variety of ways, it can:
- detect risks such as smoke, floods and gas leaks
- call for help if you fall
- remind you to take your pills at the correct time
- notify someone if you leave your home and would have difficulty finding your way back
Crucially someone will know when something might be wrong and can get help for you.
