Retirement Schemes

Telecare for Retirement Developments

Telecare24 Commercial is our specialist department dedicated to the provision of telecare solutions for retirement properties. We provide expert advice in assisting the following organisations to  select appropriate telecare equipment and monitoring solutions for their residents.

• Property Management Companies
• Right to Manage Companies
• Resident Associations
• Almshouse Charities
• Social Housing Groups

Careline Alarms for Multiple Residents

If you manage a retirement scheme with multiple apartments we can provide each resident with their own careline alarm and access to our 24/7 monitoring service. We currently provide this service to sites across the UK. These include Almshouse Charities, small retirement developments along with large multi-apartment schemes with up to 100 residents.

If you would like us to quote for providing telecare alarms to your residents then please contact us with a brief description of the retirement scheme and the number of alarms required. We can then provide you with a tailor made quotation.

Monitoring for Developments with a Hard Wired Telecare System

Many retirement properties have a hard wired telecare system that was installed when the property was built. These systems connect dedicated speech modules, pull cords, door entry systems and smoke detectors in each property to a monitoring control centre.

Telecare24 can provide a low cost “monitoring only” service where we can simply reprogram your existing system to connect residents to our state of the art 24/7 control centre. Our team of engineers can take care of any re programming ensuring the changeover is carried out with no disruption to service. If your monitoring contract is due for renewal, why not contact us for a bespoke quote.

Telecare for Right to Manage Properties

The introduction of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act in 2002 enabled residents to set up their own right to manage company (RTM) in order to control the management of their retirement development. This allows residents to select the providers of their core services, including the provider of telecare alarm systems and 24/7 monitoring.

Telecare24 can help RTM organisations who manage retirement homes and developments by providing a detailed report on existing equipment and services, outlining how they can be improved and cost savings can be made.

We guide RTMs through the process of selecting and installing new systems, highlighting alternative solutions available and helping manage the project through to completion. We also offer a comprehensive maintenance service across the UK for all telecare equipment.

Retirement Developments and the Digital Switchover

The UK telephone network is switching to digital. This will have an impact on all UK households and businesses, including retirement properties and developments that have a careline or telecare system installed.

Learn more about the digital switchover, how it affects retirement homes, and what you need to do to be ready.
