Moray Lifeline and Telecare

The equipment monitors aspects of the home environment and can detect if there is a change in things such as temperature, a gas leak, fire, flooding or even if the user has a fall.  The equipment will automatically make a call to an Alarm Monitoring Centre to provide an emergency response 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The following items are just some examples of equipment:

*Community alarm

*Fall detector

*Bed leaving sensor

*Epilepsy sensor

*Enuresis (bed wetting) sensor

*Flood detector

*Magiplug (a safety plug)

*Property exit sensors and/or “Wandering” alert

*Smoke detector

*Extreme heat/cold detector

Many items of telecare are linked to a community alarm, which is a base unit connected to the user’s home telephone line.  When the base unit receives signals from a personal alarm (pendant) or other sensors in the house, it sends an alarm call to the alarm monitoring centre..
