What is telecare?
• ‘Telecare is the remote or enhanced delivery of care services to people in their own home or a community setting by means of telecommunications and computerised services’ (Joint Improvement Team, 2011).
• Telecare can be defined simply as devices which enable a person to summon assistance (‘care’) remotely via technology (‘tele’).

Additional Telecare Devices
• Operate through basic alarm unit.
• Tend to be ‘risk specific’ – for example seizure sensors are used to alert carers in the event of a seizure and exit sensors are used to raise an alert when a person is exiting the property.

Points to consider when referring
• Telecare does not replace people as a support network is required for the equipment to be effective.
• Does the person have a landline telephone?
• Is someone able to answer and respond to alerts if required? For ‘extra’ or ‘peripheral’ telecare devices the service user
requires a family member to respond to and answer calls
• Ethical Issues

Examples of ‘Extra’ or ‘peripheral’ devices

Glasgow City Council’s Telecare Service
• Since late 1980s Glasgow City Council has supported a number of vulnerable people in their homes via telecare.
• 15,000 people have a basic telecare package or ‘community alarm’.
• 3,000 people have an ‘enhanced’ telecare package which consists of a movement sensor added to the ‘community alarm’ system.
• Generally, as with most other authorities, the main client group has been older people, but this will gradually change with the introduction of Self Directed Support and other initiatives such as ‘personalisation’.

Glasgow City Council’s Telecare Service Contd.
• In the last 2 years approximately 150 extra telecare devices have been installed to support people in their own homes.
• The expansion of the service has been limited to an extent due to other factors (e.g. modernisation programme involving 10,000 people).

Cordia’s Direct Response Service Centre.
• Cordia’s Direct Response Service Centre provides a 24 hour call handling and response service.
• Generally, the basic community alarm alerts are directed to Cordia’s call handling centre. A smaller number of supported living providers and family receive alerts from service users.
• The service answers and responds to a large number of emergency calls each month.
• In December 2010 the centre handled 52,777 emergency calls and made 780 home visits.

Referral Process
• Anyone can apply for the basic telecare system at present, including prospective service users, professionals and friends and family.
• At present Social Workers and OTs refer for ‘extra’ telecare devices.
• Prospective service users are unable to refer for ‘extra’ telecare devices themselves.
