Telecare

The aim of the Highland Telecare Service is to provide vulnerable people with a means of summoning assistance when it is needed to help them live safely in their own home.

The Telecare Service provides:

• Reassurance for people living on their own
• Immediate response in an emergency
• Support for carers
• Enhanced fire safety
• Access to enhanced telecare solutions

It is available to those at risk because of age, disability or other factors.
You may benefit from using the Telecare Service if you:

• Live alone or are regularly left alone
• Face danger or risk because of restricted mobility or illness and need to call for assistance in an emergency
• Live in an isolated location
• Feel you could benefit from the added security offered by the telecare service for self protection, fire or other safety reasons
• Live with a person who could not cope in an emergency when left alone
