Do you have an elderly relative who wishes to remain in their own home but could do with a little assistance? If you’ve been looking for a simple solution that could give them the independence they crave and peace of mind they deserve, telecare might just be the solution.
It’s a worry to know that a relative is suffering from dementia. They may have strongly stated their desire to retain their independence, but you, as the responsible relative, are obviously concerned that they can live safely despite their condition. However, there could be assistive technology which could help.
Safety can become an increasing concern as you get older. However, there are a number of things you can do to stay safe and maintain your independence without having to compromise on quality of life.
Panic alarms are the ideal solution for those at risk of falls or who live alone. They offer reassurance and peace of mind both to the user and to their friends and relatives, who know that in the event of a problem the alarm can be raised.
Telecare is just one of the many items of home technology that can help elderly or vulnerable people who live alone to remain in their own homes safely for much longer.
At least 14% of the general population identify as having limited mobility, usually due to a lifelong disability, a medical problem such as stroke or injury, failing eyesight or simply the process of ageing. For people with mobility issues, having a telecare alarm can provide a lifeline in times of need as well as providing crucial reassurance and a sense of security.
More and more people are using technology to help run their lives. Smartphones and watches get us up in the morning, tell us when our appointments are and even count the number of steps we take in a day. Although you can be forgiven for thinking wearable technology such as FitBits is being aimed at and developed for the young, there is another application which is helping the elderly and infirm to stay safe and healthy.
