Telecare helps improve confidence, minimise risks and also provide peace of mind to carers and families. The most well known Telecare equipment is the pendant alarm, but there are many other sensors that you can add on, including fall detectors, bed sensors and smoke detectors. The extensive range of different types means that the telecare you have can be tailored to meet your specific needs and wishes.
