Careline investment pays dividends
A handful of small change could be all it takes to save the life of a loved one.
For only 35p per day, your family could have peace of mind knowing that a vulnerable relative is being looked after by Careline.
Careline is a service provided by Carmarthenshire County Council.
Using an alarm system, service users are able to call for help 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year.
Alarms can be fitted within the home, and a ‘lifeline’ pendant can also be worn by the service user, which, when triggered, connects them to a team of Careline staff.
As each alarm is unique, from the moment a call is made, the Careline team instantly know the name and address of the service user, and can contact neighbours or relatives, as well as the emergency services if needed.
Cllr Kevin Madge, Champion for Older People, said: “I have lost count of the number of times I have heard ordinary families telling me that Careline has helped saved the life of their mum, dad, or grandparent.
“The cost of leasing the alarm unit and having the peace of mind that help is at hand works out at just a few pence per day – it is a service that provides incredible value for money, but more importantly the reassurance that someone will always be there to help, and that is priceless.”
The Careline service is not restricted to older people - anyone who feels vulnerable can apply for an alarm to help them feel more secure at home.
Having an alarm fitted is a simple procedure, and is usually fitted within 10 working days of a request.
