However………
Balanced perspective. May not be able to stop inevitable deterioration but can hopefully facilitate maximum safety and independence until alternative provision required.
Earlier the intervention more likely the longer term benefit. Proactive rather than reactive.
Links in with government thinking…..local services and preferred place of care etc

Debunking a few myths about referral process…..
Telecare provide a specialist service regarding product knowledge,local policies and implementing of referral. Co-ordinator will visit in complex cases.
Once in receipt of referral will be processed asap. Standard in place that from receipt to installation will not be longer than 7 working days.
The team are not the assessors ..YOU are. Therefore it is up to you to find first contacts and
ask question over funding. You know that individual better than the team. If these are omitted they only delay the process.
Emergency services cannot be listed as first point of contact.

Installation delegated to one of 4 control centres. They then take on the monitoring of case. Each centre has slightly differing criteria.
The cost is for the monitoring . The equipment is loaned free of charge from LCC. £1.50 maximum. Telecare pay monitoring centre flat fee for installation.
