Independence at home is very important, especially as we get older.
At one press of a button, Care Connect knows who you are, where you live and will make sure the right help is sent to you.
Here’s what Care Connect customer Ken has to say about the service:
“My wife and I use Care Connect often, as she has been falling quite a lot lately. I couldn’t be without them because they arrive very quickly. If it wasn’t for Care Connect my wife and I might be in hospital as we have nobody else. They help us tremendously, they are excellent”.
Telecare and additional features can be incorporated into your support package, at a small charge such as:
• reassurance calls
• weekly visits
• additional or lost pendants
• monitored smoke detectors
• fall detectors
• epilepsy sensors
• door and exit sensors
Rest assured, Care Connect will have an option to help.
How much it costs
From as little as £5.38 per week + VAT, you and your family could have peace of mind and the reassurance Care Connect provides. There is a one-o connection charge of £33.99 this will be advised at installation. There can be additional charge of £3.17 per week +VAT if a SIM card needs to be installed in the alarm unit.
