If you’re considering a personal alarm or technology-enabled care service for the first time, you may have lots of questions.
What happens when you press the alarm? Who answers? Is it only for older people? And how do you know which equipment you need?
Here are some of the basics.
What is Provide Carecall247?
Provide Carecall247 uses technology and 24/7 monitoring to help people feel safer and more confident while living independently.
Depending on where you live and your individual needs, this could include personal alarms, fall detectors, GPS devices and other technology designed to provide additional reassurance.
Who is Provide Carecall247 for?
There isn't one particular type of person who can benefit from technology-enabled care.
It may be helpful for someone who:
- Lives alone
- Has experienced falls
- Has reduced mobility
- Wants extra reassurance at home
- Has family members who worry when they aren't nearby
- Wants to remain independent for longer
The aim is to provide the right level of support without unnecessarily restricting someone's independence.
What happens if I need help?
When an alarm connected to our monitoring service is activated, it is received by our monitoring team.
Our trained operators can speak to the person, understand what has happened and determine the appropriate next step.
Depending on the circumstances and the service available in your area, this could include contacting a family member or carer, coordinating a local response or arranging emergency assistance where required.
What equipment is available?
Different people need different levels of support.
That's why there are a range of options available, from personal alarms and fall detectors to GPS-enabled devices and additional sensors.
Our team can help you understand the options available and which may be suitable for your circumstances.
