The Tier 1 – Lifeline package contains:

• a digitally enabled base unit 
• a pendant for use in the household, which can be worn around the wrist or neck

Following a push of the button on the pendant, or the emergency button on the base unit, a trained operator will speak to you and decide on the best course of action to get you the support you need.

The price for Tier 1 between April 2023 and March 2024 is £5.65 per week.

There is a one-off installation charge of £25.

If the service is cancelled within 18 months of installation, there will be a £25 cancellation charge (waived if cancelled within 14 days of installation).

The Tier 2 – Home Assistance package contains everything in Tier 1, plus:

• a smoke detector
• a heat extremes monitor 
• an inactivity monitor
• a bogus caller button

These extra sensors help to keep you safe in your home, and can help to automatically get support if there was a fire in your property. The bogus caller button can be placed by your front door, and can be pressed if anyone unfamiliar is on your doorstep and tries to gain access to your property.

An inactivity monitor can be strategically placed in your home, and will automatically alert the monitoring centre if it doesn’t detect movement within a defined time period. This can be useful if you are unable to use your pendant and require support.

This package costs an extra 74p a week above Tier 1, at £6.39 per week.

There is a one-off installation charge of £25.

If the service is cancelled within 18 months of installation, there will be a £25 cancellation charge (waived if cancelled within 14 days of installation).

The Tier 3 package encompasses any extra bespoke package on top of your current tier in order to ensure you can remain safe and independent at home.

Social Services will need to carry out an assessment, working with you to decide what the best equipment is to meet your needs.

There is no extra cost for any equipment provided following an assessment, and you will be charged in line with your applicable tier. For example, if you have the Home Assistance package in place, or opt for this package during installation, your charge will be £6.36 per week regardless of any extra equipment installed.

If you wish to have an assessment for Telecare equipment, please contact Social Services on 01978 298543.
