Enabling people to remain independent and safe in their own home is important. In East Devon, people are able to stay in their homes longer, thanks to the telecare alarm service, Home Safeguard.

The service, which is run by East Devon District Council, allows users to live independently – safe in the knowledge that help will reach them quickly if needed – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

A lifelineModel railway enthusiast, Roger (pictured) says that Home Safeguard has thrown him the lifeline he needed.

“I signed up to Home Safeguard about a year ago and haven’t looked back. It’s allowed me and my wife to stay in our own home and continue with day-to-day activities that we all take for granted and I’m still able to indulge in my passion for model railways. However, we have the added assurance that if anything does happen to us, such as a fall, we can get help at the touch of a button.”

The alarm service is easy to install and use – all that’s needed is a telephone line and plug socket. Home Safe-guard provides a base unit with a pendant, clip-on or a wristband, which is worn by the user.

Then, if the user needs help all they have to do is press the button on the personal alarm or base unit. When the alarm is pressed a call is made to the monitoring centre. A trained operator will answer within seconds to find out what help is needed. If necessary, they will call someone to help or one of the emergency services. The operator will keep in contact with the caller until help comes.

“A Home Safeguard operator rings us on a daily basis

for under £5 a week Roger stays on track

to make sure we’re OK. I wear my alarm on my wrist and if ever I need help I just press the button,” added Roger.

Jill Elson, portfolio holder for sustainable homes and communities, said: ‘Home Safeguard gives peace of mind to those living by themselves and can give reassurance to relatives of loved ones living alone.

“It also assists us in keeping people in their own homes as opposed to hospital or residential settings, which is doubtless the preference of most residents.”

not just foR oldeR peopleHome Safeguard is not just for older people but for anyone who may be vulnerable because of their specific needs such as younger people with learning disabilities.

In addition to the pendant alarm service, Home Safe-guard offers a range of sensors that can assist people with all aspects of their life – for example, a pill dispenser that dispenses medication as and when it needs to be taken or a temperature sensor that can monitor if the property be-comes too cold. Monitoring of such equipment can help health professionals monitor ongoing health conditions.

AccRedited seRvice At A low costHome Safeguard has been running for over 25 years and is accredited by the Telecare Services Authority.

For as little as £4.44 per week (including VAT) our personal alarm service gives reassurance that help can reach you, or a loved one, quickly when needed.

However, we have the added assurance that if anything does happen to us, such as a fall, we can get help at the touch of a button.”

The alarm service is easy to install and use – all that’s needed is a telephone line and plug socket. Home Safe-guard provides a base unit with a pendant, clip-on or a wristband, which is worn by the user.

Then, if the user needs help all they have to do is press the button on the personal alarm or base unit. When the alarm is pressed a call is made to the monitoring centre. A trained operator will answer within seconds to find out what help is needed. If necessary, they will call someone to help or one of the emergency services. The operator will keep in contact with the caller until help comes.

“A Home Safeguard operator rings us on a daily basis

for under £5 a week Roger stays on track

to make sure we’re OK. I wear my alarm on my wrist and if ever I need help I just press the button,” added Roger.

Jill Elson, portfolio holder for sustainable homes and communities, said: ‘Home Safeguard gives peace of mind to those living by themselves and can give reassurance to relatives of loved ones living alone.

“It also assists us in keeping people in their own homes as opposed to hospital or residential settings, which is doubtless the preference of most residents.”

not just foR oldeR peopleHome Safeguard is not just for older people but for anyone who may be vulnerable because of their specific needs such as younger people with learning disabilities.

In addition to the pendant alarm service, Home Safe-guard offers a range of sensors that can assist people with all aspects of their life – for example, a pill dispenser that dispenses medication as and when it needs to be taken or a temperature sensor that can monitor if the property be-comes too cold. Monitoring of such equipment can help health professionals monitor ongoing health conditions.

AccRedited seRvice At A low costHome Safeguard has been running for over 25 years and is accredited by the Telecare Services Authority.

For as little as £4.44 per week (including VAT) our personal alarm service gives reassurance that help can reach you, or a loved one, quickly when needed.
