Care Call provides 24-hour emergency cover 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
How does it work?
The council provides an alarm system to place under a conventional telephone, with an emergency button, linked to their control centre. In the event of an emergency the button is pressed which connects you with an Operator. Clients must have a telephone line into their property with a modern BT socket.
The Pendant
Together with the telephone, each client is provided with a pendant to be worn around the neck, wrist or kept in a pocket. By pressing the pendant, the alarm is activated in the same way as the telephone. Upon receiving a call, a pre-chosen contact or the emergency services will be notified. All operators are experienced in dealing with emergency situations in a calm and professional manner.
Cost
£3.10 per week is payable quarterly in advance plus £40 installation fee, less for WCBC tenants and added to the weekly rent.
