Free alarms and sensors
Working in partnership with Suffolk County Council, Flagship
Assist & Assure has launched a new service aimed at helping
elderly and vulnerable people remain in their own homes and provide
peace of mind to family members and carers.
Those eligible for the free service can benefit from a wide
range of assistive technology including fall detectors, smoke
alarms, carbon monoxide and flood detectors, bed occupancy sensors,
epilepsy sensors, pull cords and bogus caller buttons, all linked
to Assist & Assure's 24 hour control centre.
The service is funded through the Government’s Preventative
Technology Grant, and aims to help 260 residents in the Suffolk
Coastal area. There is no cost to the individual receiving the
service.
