Telecare

We all want to be independent and remain in our own homes for as long as possible without having to rely on family and friends to allow us to do so. Well now you can. Telecare is a service which Cestria Care provides by using special equipment that can recognise when there is a problem or emergency situation in your home. The equipment is linked by telephone to the community alarm service which automatically alerts the control room that there is a problem and the appropriate course of action is taken.

Telecare can be used to help:-

People at risk of falls
People at risk of hypothermia
People with early onset dementia who may wander at inappropriate times
People who are becoming forgetful and leave their cooker rings or taps on
People at risk of night seizures
People who forget to take their medication

If you would like to see how using telecare equipment has changed the lives of some of our tenants, click here to read our Cestria Life stories.
