Telecare assists and supports people living at home, allowing them to remain independent in the community. Telecare is the use of sensors which work alongside a community alarm and can provide a means of automatically signalling the required response to an emergency or crisis situation as it arises.

Telecare is not a new system as it has been available in the form of a community alarm service for a number of years.  While the community alarm relies on the user pressing the pendant to alert the call centre to an emergency, the Telecare sensors provide an automatic alert to the call centre.

Please note there is a charge for this service. For information and advice on the range of assistance available including alarm systems, door censors and GPS locator units, please contact the Community Alarms Team on: 0141 232 2316 or email them at: CAlarm.admin@west-dunbarton.gov.uk
