We offer different kinds of equipment depending on your needs, and will tailor them to suit you.

Our basic telecare package is a unit with a button that can be worn as a pendant or on a wrist strap. Pressing the button will call the response centre and you can to speak to them through the unit.

If you need a little more support at home or you're unable to press a button, we have a range of telecare equipment that may help.
