We want to help you stay safe and living independently in your own home

Getting older can make it harder to cope on your own. Especially if you’re living with a long-term condition or recovering from an illness.

At Safe at Home, we offer peace of mind by making sure help is always at home when needed – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

We offer a range of technologies – called telecare and home safety equipment – that helps people of all ages.

Telecare works by linking you to a monitoring centre if you need support. Some products let you sound the alarm yourself, while some products will call for help automatically if you are unable to do it yourself.

We work with you to find the right tools to help you live your life well.

There are lots of options – from personal or emergency alarms you can wear as you go about your day to equipment to remind you to do certain tasks – so it’s easy to find a set of products that work for you.

We recognise that everyone’s needs are different and that your circumstances can change over time. That’s why our friendly team is always on hand to offer advice when you need us.
