CARELINE
Careline service offered by South Somerset District Council
24 hours help at the touch of a button
The Careline service provides an emergency alarm pendant that can be worn at all times, which links to a control centre where Emergency Control Centre staff are on hand to answer 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
Pressing the alarm button puts the user straight into contact with the staff who could call a doctor if the resident was feeling unwell, or an ambulance if needed, or call the police if the person felt intimidated or in danger.
Not only an emergency response system, the Careline can help with day to day care and allows users to know that they are never alone.
The installation of the alarm system costs £29.50 but is free to those who are on income support. In addition weekly charges are £3.35 for hire/monitoring or if you decide to purchase a unit, £1.80 per week monitoring and a purchase price of £115.
To find out more on how Careline can help, contact 01935 479815 or visit www.southsomerset.gov.uk
