Nottingham on Call is dedicated to empowering individuals to live independently with confidence. We provide a comprehensive range of care equipment designed to offer reassurance, safety, and support in daily life. Here’s a closer look at our key equipment and their benefits.
1. Digital Care Alarm
The digital care alarm is a core service, designed to connect users directly to the Nottingham on Call team in case of emergency. With just a push of a button, help is available 24/7. This device is easy to use and gives peace of mind, especially for those who live alone or may feel vulnerable. The alarm connects to a monitoring centre, where trained staff assess your individual situation and take the appropriate action, informing the relevant people whether that’s a family member, carer, or emergency services.
2. Pendant Alarm
The pendant alarm offers users flexibility and mobility, allowing them to carry help with them throughout their home. Worn around the neck or wrist, the pendant makes it possible to raise an alarm without needing to reach a stationary device. This is particularly useful in situations where a person might fall or be unable to move easily, ensuring they can summon help from any location within the house.
3. Key Safe
Key safes provide a secure way for trusted individuals, like carers or emergency responders, to access a property. The heavy-duty metal box stores a key and can only be opened with a unique code. This eliminates the need for users to open the door themselves, which can be critical in emergency situations. It’s a practical solution that ensures responders can get inside quickly, even if the user is incapacitated.
4. Sensors
Nottingham on Call offers a variety of sensors to enhance home safety:
- Bed and Chair Sensors: These are designed to detect when a user leaves their bed or chair, alerting responders if they do not return within a specified time. This feature is essential for preventing falls or ensuring prompt assistance if a user is in distress.
- Movement Sensors: These sensors detect inactivity, indicating potential problems like a fall or medical emergency. If the sensor detects no movement for a prolonged period, it raises an alert.
- Temperature Sensors: These monitor the home environment, detecting extreme changes in temperature which could indicate a fire or other hazard.
5. Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Safety is paramount, and Nottingham on Call’s smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are life-saving tools. These devices are connected to the monitoring system, ensuring that if they detect danger, the team is automatically notified, and emergency services can be dispatched if necessary. This added layer of security is particularly reassuring for those who may not hear alarms easily due to hearing impairments or other factors.
6. Standalone Devices
Nottingham on Call also provides a selection of standalone devices designed to assist with everyday life. These include:
- Home Safety Alert: A wireless alarm that allows individuals to call for help if they are in distress.
- Memory Clock: This device helps individuals with memory issues keep track of the time, date, and day of the week, reducing confusion, especially for those with dementia or cognitive impairments.
- Flood Detectors: Placed in areas like the kitchen or bathroom, these detectors alert the user or monitoring team if water is detected, preventing serious damage or accidents.
The range of equipment provided by Nottingham on Call offers invaluable support to individuals seeking to maintain their independence at home. Each device is designed with ease of use in mind, ensuring users can live safely and confidently. Whether it’s the digital alarm or the preventative measures of sensors and detectors, Nottingham on Call’s solutions cover every aspect of home safety and personal well-being.
