How does it work?
Telecare offers a range of wireless sensors around the home that are designed to help older and vulnerable people live safely, securely and independently in their homes.
The sensors activate an alarm via your telephone line when you have a problem in the home or there is a threat to your safety. The Control Centre monitors your alarm 24 hours a day. When the alarm is triggered, an operator will talk to you over a speaker unit until help arrives.
