Within the Civic Centre on the ground floor we have  a smart area where we can demonstrate and provide free specialist advice on Telecare that could help you or your family carry out simple everyday tasks safely, independently and with confidence.

	KeySafe™ A KeySafe™ is fitted to your home and a key safely stored inside, the details of its location and the code are held securely at the Response Centre. A KeySafe™ is used in the event of an emergency, the code and location of the KeySafe™ will be only given to an authorised person, enabling them to access your property and provide you with immediate care and assistance. KeySafe™ not only reduces the time taken to enter your home in an emergency, it also avoids having to utilise the Police to force entry, which can be expensive. We no longer supply refurbished keysafes.
	Watch This watch has been developed to help encourage telecare users to wear their personal triggers throughout the day. By combining an alarm button with a high quality watch, users are more likely to wear it and as a result will be provided with additional protection as their ability to raise an alarm is increased. The Swiss designed watch is waterproof to IP67 standard (protection from brief submergence in water). It also incorporates an LED to provide the user with visual reassurance that the alarm button has been pressed.
	PERSONAL HEALTH & WELL-BEING
	Bed/Chair Occupancy Sensor A bed or chair occupancy sensor provides an early warning alert that you have left your bed or chair and have not returned within a preset time period.
	Enuresis Sensor Placed between the mattress and sheet, this sensor provides immediate warning on detection of moisture, allowing effective action to be taken. This means that the carer does not have to continually make physical checks and the client does not have to lie there uncomfortable.
	Epilepsy Sensor This state of the art sensor monitors the user's vital signs including heart rate and breathing patterns to detect a range of epileptic seizures. If a seizure occurs the sensor will trigger a call to MASCOT who will contact your carer, friend or family.

	Fall Detector A Fall Sensor detects if you have had a serious fall and automatically sends an alarm call to the Response Centre. It is a popular addition to the Telecare alarm unit as it has so many uses for all sorts of personal circumstances.
	Medication Dispenser Provides an effective solution to support medication compliance by automatically dispensing medication and providing audible and visual alerts to the user each time medication should be taken. If the user fails to access the medication, an alert is raised to the monitoring centre or designated carer.
	Pressure Mat Monitors movement in a specific area, for example to monitor if someone has got of bed or left the house.
	Property Exit Sensor As 40% of people with dementia are prone to walking about, this sensor specifically monitors for people leaving a building at unusual times of day or night. It can also detect if a main exit door has been left open and can be linked to external lighting to provide added protection.
	ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
	Carbon Monoxide Detector (wireless) Warns of dangerous CO levels which otherwise could go undetected, providing unrivalled levels of accuracy and reliability.

	Flood Detector A Flood Detector provides an early warning by alerting the Response Centre if there is a possible flood in your home. It can be placed by the bath, shower or sink for constant peace of mind.

	Smoke Detector A smoke detector provides additional protection by raising an automatic alarm call to the Response Centre if smoke is detected in your home. It’s simple and quick to install as no wiring is necessary.
	Heat Detector The wireless Heat Detector provides additional protection against the risk of fires in rooms where smoke detectors are unsuitable e.g. kitchen.

Temperature Extremes Sensor This sensor is designed to provide early warning of potentially hazardous temperatures. It detects three specific temperature situations; high, low and rapid rate of rise in temperature, for example if the cooker has been left on.
