Assistive technology

Assistive technology is a term used to describe devices and sensors that are installed into someone's home to enable them to remain living there for as long as possible. It can also offer loved ones peace of mind knowing that help is often just the push of a button away.

Alarms and sensors can detect when you are at risk and may need assistance. Depending on the type of device, you can press a button, or the device will automatically alert your carer's pager or our monitoring centre, Careline, which operates 24 hours a day. Find out more about the Careline service.
