Telecare in Slough
Are you a Slough carer, friend or relative of someone who is elderly or vulnerable? If so, Telecare may be able to give you the piece of mind you need for your loved ones.
Using new technology, Slough Telecare can help people maintain their independence and remain in their own homes by using wireless sensors to send a message to Careline in the event of an emergency.
This is achieved through a combination of a 24 hour telephone link to Careline and the state-of-the-art technology of telecare.
Its friendly, highly skilled staff offers an instant response to a call and will stay on the line until help arrives. Last year, staff responded to more than 700 emergency calls.
It is quick and easy to install and uses the latest technology so there are no unsightly wires.
Commissioner for Slough social care and social and economic inclusion, Cllr Derek Cryer, said: “Telecare is a wonderful way in which the elderly or vulnerable can lead their lives in their own homes.
“It’s a fantastic service and many users rely heavily on it to give them peace of mind.”
Kate Saunders, assertiveness technology development officer for Slough Borough Council, added: “Telecare includes practical support, such as automatically switching on lights if someone gets out of bed at night or a reminder to take medication that makes living at home easier.
“Telecare is about giving people the peace of mind to live in their own home for as long as possible knowing that help is at hand.”
