Telecare and Lifeline

                                                                                                       Ashford Telecare Sales 01233 642095

Ashford Telecare  is a computerised alert system that provides independent living and safe working.

 

Anyone can benefit from Telecare technology not just people who are elderly, infirm or vulnerable.

 

Telecare improves lives by allowing people to live independently in their own homes with the reassurance that help is at hand at the touch of a button 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

How does it work?

Users are issued with a Lifeline unit which plugs into a power socket and a telephone point. By pressing a simple button on the Lifeline unit or sensors which you can wear on a pendant or a wrist-strap an alarm signal is sent through the telephone line to Ashford Borough Council’s 24-hour Monitoring Centre, where trained staff are ready to help.

 

They can contact family, friends, care or medical agencies and a range of emergency response services according to procedures requested by the client.

What do you get?

The basic package consists of a Lifeline unit and emergency sensor on a pendant .

 

We can also provide a range of  other sensors and alarms  including:

  • Smoke detectors
  • Bogus caller alarm
  • Intruder alarm
  • Flood detector
  • Carbon Monoxide detectors

Lone Workers

Telecare also offers a  Lone Worker system which offers security for employees working alone in vulnerable situations and peace-of-mind to employers and works through the user's mobile telephone to activate an emergency call if workers fail to check in at set times.

 

This service is also perfect for youngsters out and about , in fact anyone, any where, any time.
