Emergency alarms and safety equipment

There are various types of equipment that can help you live more  independently and safely in your own home.

• The Care Ring emergency alarm call service allows you to continue to live independently in your own home with the knowledge that help is at hand if needed.
  
  
• Safety equipment - known as Telecare, such as movement sensors and medication reminders, can be especially helpful for anyone who suffers from cognitive difficulties or confusion. Follow the link to read more about Telecare  and the different types of equipment available.
