The Council has developed specialised services for vulnerable people who may need more support at home. We can provide:
- A mobile warden service for vulnerable people.
- A response team of mobile wardens who can respond to emergencies 24 hours a day
- A 24 hour Careline service for people who need it
- A range of Telecare sensors to suit your needs
- An on-site scheme manager in sheltered housing schemes.
