Home Safety

Telecare offer a range of sensors for the home that monitor activity and safety. This section has information on the safety sensors that can be placed around the home. These sensors can support a person to remain at home independently by identifying a safety concern and alerting the monitoring centre through the base unit.
Simply having a smoke detector or a temperature sensor can give family and carers’ peace of mind that they will be immediately notified if there is a fire or if the temperature has dropped that may cause hypothermia.
