Telecare 

Telecare devices are used as part of the Telecare system. There are various companies providing Telecare in Ireland. They charge a fee for providing a base unit and sensors and a monthly monitoring fee. 
Telecare sensors are placed around the home depending on each individuals needs. When a sensor is triggered it sends a signal to the base unit (which is connected to a landline or is SIM dependent) which in turn goes to the monitoring centre or a carer. The monitoring centre will then follow the procedure agreed with the family. One well known telecare item is the falls alert/pendant provided through the Senior Alert Scheme, wearers press the red button either worn around their wrist or neck to call for help.
