Unsure if anyone knew this.
All over the UK the councils operate something called Piper Schemes now known as Lifelines, i work for these companies and deal with the systems in peoples homes who are ill, live alone or for some reason are vulnerable but want to remain at home.
I know these services in the South West in the areas of:
- Mendip
- South Somerset Homes
- North Devon Homes
- Mid Devon Council
- Torridge Council
- Taunton Deane Council
- Sedgmoor Council
- West Somerset
All of these plus more offer a service to vulnerable people to stay at home and with a pendant that they carry around their neck or on their wrists that if they press it alerts a control centre who have all the clients details and can call out the next of kin, emergency services or a Doctor. All this is chosen by the client who they want called for what. This gives piece of mind at home and keeping them within the community. Any questions or would like any info on the areas above please PM me.
Not just dealing with elderly clients but people with illnesses and who need help in the home or are vulnerable. Sometimes people get worried about their parents and don't realise that this service is avaliable. PM me if you need details on any of the above areas.
