Professionals and Carers

Telecare is being increasingly used by health care professionals and support workers

• to support service users after a stay in hospital
• to enable earlier discharge dates
• to promote greater self care and independence
• to increase safety and confidence
• to reduce the need for residential care

Telecare is also a valuable support for carers

Knowing that the people they are caring for still have support if they are not there, gives carers the opportunity to carry other daily activities such as shopping, cleaning or having valuable time to themselves.
