Equipment, home adaptations and assistive technology
Care Technology
Care Technology (CT, and sometimes referred to as ‘telecare’) is monitoring and alert equipment that can help you to remain independent in your home and in the community.
What you need and how to buy it
The quickest and easiest way to get the equipment and technology you need is to search the Safe and Well website to:
- request a catalogue or view their online shop
- find out where you can buy equipment and where you can try it out locally before you buy
- find out what options might suit you by completing a simple questionnaire
If you can’t find what you’re looking for, or you need further assistance you can contact Safe and Well.
A number of other online and high street retailers also sell this type of product or service. You can find some approved traders on the Age UK website to install your equipment.
Assistive technology
Assistive technology is electronic equipment that can support your safety and independence in your own home. Most district councils provide a chargeable community lifeline service. See: Lifelines, telecare and alarms
