We are working with a technology partner Alcove to provide you with a range and choice of care technology products. This service is called Gloria and it features a range of devices that can be customised to be part of your daily life and help you live as independently and safely as possible in your own home and local community.
Depending on your needs we can offer a combination of devices mentioned below and more. These small devices can detect and monitor your movements passively and can help you live independently in your own home. They do not use camera, video, or microphone but are linked to a smart device and can alert your carer or family member if there is a change to your routine or if you may need help.
This watch allows you to call for help if you need it either at home or when out and about. The Video Carephone is a tablet device that allows you to make two-way video calls with your family, friends and carers in an easy way by simply touching a picture on the screen.
These mats are placed either under a bed mattress or chair. They send an alert to your carer when you get off and on to your bed or chair. Your carer or family member can see information and build a picture of your daily routine so they know if something out of the ordinary happens and when you may need help.
If the Gloria products are not suitable for you, we will explore other technology and apps that meet your needs for independent living. If you are ready to start your technology journey, you can complete a self-referral or contact our Adult Social Care team.
