Carelink have a wide range of monitoring equipment designed to support clients in their home environment. The range, type and capability of monitors is growing all the time. All the detectors are wireless linked to enable a swift and unobtrusive installation in the clients Home. This page will give a general overview of some of our typical devices. All use a base stations such as our "Horizon" or "In Touch Phone" to communicate with the Carelink receiving station |
||
| Equipment | Features | |
| BT "in touch" Telephone | The "In touch" phone is a combined telephone and base station. It acts as a bridge between our monitoring equipment and the Carelink receiving station. Thus eliminating the need for a separate unit |
|
| Horizon Base Station | The "Horizon" base station is connected to a telephone point. It acts as a bridge between our monitoring equipment and the Carelink receiving station |
 |
| Monitored Medication Dispenser | The monitored pill dispenser may be filled by the carer or relative and programmed to expose the medication at a pre set time. The unit gives an audible prompt for the client to take their medication. After a preset time the unit closes. Thus ensuring that the carer has conformation that the dose of medication has been removed. This attempts to prevent multiple accidental dosage. |
|
| Pendants / Push buttons |
These come in a wide variety of types from wrist mounted to
pendants around the neck. We also use them as wall mounted units
for panic / personal attack use.
|
 |
| Fall / Activity Detectors | Carelink also offer units that monitor the user for evidence of a fall or of incapacity through lack of normal motion.. |
 |
| Smoke /CO Alarms | Smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are also available linked to the Carelink receiving station |
 |
| Heat Alarms | In addition to the normal smoke and carbon monoxide alarms Carelink have detectors that sense a heat source left on. |
 |
| Gas and Flood Detectors | Gas and flood detectors are also linked to services as they enter the accommodation. On detecting an unlit gas source the unit not only alerts the Carelink receiving station but shuts off the gas source. If water is detected on the floor near a sink or bath the Carelink receiving station is alerted. |
