Telecare for Carers
"Telecare is a service which helps to protect and support people in their own homes. To the 1.75 million people who now rely on a telecare service in the UK, it offers peace of mind and the certainty that there is always someone to help them in times of difficulty day or night."
Information on telecare for yourself or for someone you care about, is available at the Telecare Services Association website.
