Home monitoring and personal alarms
Home monitoring systems, like Careline Plus, provide much needed peace of mind for elderly and vulnerable people, as well as their families.
At the most basic level, service users are provided with a pendant alarm that can be triggered in the event of a fall or other emergency.
For more advanced requirements, where the service user is unable to operate the alarm, there is a range of intelligent devices that provide assistance with everyday activities.
These include:
fall sensors
wandering systems
GPS devices
bed, chair, and floor sensors
epilepsy sensors
Careline Plus
The CarelinePlus service gives added reassurance to relatives and friends who cannot always be around, because they know their loved ones can summon the help and support, they need. Members can access support and help whenever they need it by pressing a button.
Who can join
The CarelinePlus service is council-run and supports anyone 18 and over who may feel vulnerable, have a disability, or a long-term health condition.
You can join the service if you:
- are prone to falls
- live alone
- are housebound
- need added reassurance.
- have a disability
- are at risk of harassment, domestic violence, or bogus callers
How it works
The basic service consists of an alarm and a pendant that once pressed activates a call through to our 24-hour call monitoring centre. Once the operator receives a call, they confirm the help and support that is needed, and then contact our responding team.
We may also be able to help by providing additional sensors if you have a range of medical conditions such as:
- Dementia
- Diabetes
- Epilepsy
