Telcare services
Telecare provides support and reassurance from outside of your
home, using the help of technology.
A wide range of alarms and sensors are available, designed to
assist you in managing the risks of living in your own home, such
as falling over or fire hazards. The technology aims to help you
remain as independent as possible.
Telecare has been piloted in Kent for the last two years and
during that time the service has been successfully installed into
the following areas:
- Ashford
- Dover
- Gravesham
- Maidstone
- Swale
- Tonbridge and Malling
Telecare has received strong support from central government and is
now a part of the Whole System Demonstrator project, funded by the
Department of Health to demonstrate the effectiveness of Advanced
Assistive Technology in Health and Social Care.
