In this digital day and age, technological advances have created no shortage of opportunities to improve the care sector. Here at Care2Communities, we use the power of technology to ensure that you or your loved one are safe and healthy at home – all in a non-intrusive way – by proactively monitoring wellbeing.

Read on to learn more about homecare in Rushcliffe and how we use Technology Enabled Care to keep you safe and happy at home. 

How does Tech Enabled Care work?

Our holistic approach to care goes a step further than traditional domiciliary care by incorporating technology. By installing a small sensor in the kitchen, we’re able to track your loved one’s safety without intruding upon their private life. This is nothing like a ‘Big Brother’ device. Rather, the sensor device can learn your loved one’s typical routine such as when they usually cook their meals, how often they turn the kettle on, and when they tend to wash up. This information allows us to build an idea of what your loved one’s day looks like. When something out of the ordinary happens a family member, one of our Wellbeing Assistants, or both will be alerted. 

Is Technology Enabled Care safe? 

Our Tec2Care device is fully GDPR compliant. You can rest assured that your loved one is not being watched or listened to. In addition, no data is being captured without their consent. It’s helpful to think of our Tec2Care device as similar to a streaming platform that recommends films you may like based on previous choices. As Tec2Care builds up a picture of your loved one’s habits, it will become better at sensing when something is off so that appropriate help can be provided. Our devices come with a 3-year battery life and operate on a low-powered wide area network so that no mains or Wi-Fi connection is required to power the device.

The benefits of Tech Enabled Care

1. Peace of mind – Technology Enabled Care ensures we don’t miss any signs that your loved one’s health could be deteriorating or that they require extra assistance.  

2. Fast intervention – By automatically alerting a family member, Wellbeing Assistant or both when something is out of the ordinary, families can have peace of mind that their loved one is getting the help they need. 

3. Support for wellbeing – Our holistic approach to care puts your health and emotional wellbeing at the centre of everything we do through a combination of technology and in-person support. 

4. Preventing illness and injury – We understand that some people may not be as forthcoming with their needs for fear of losing their independence. Tec2Care doesn’t rely on someone needing to actively reach out if they need help, it ensures that they can get the help they need.

Care that works for you 

We provide flexible support to ensure you or your loved one gets the support you need, when you need it. This means we can provide Technology Enabled Care alongside traditional care or on its own. We can also offer it in conjunction with check-in calls and social care support, depending on you and your family’s care needs. We can update your support plan at any time.
