Dementia

LifeLink understands that most families and carers have a strong desire to help dementia sufferers lead an independent lifestyle in their own home. However sometimes the trade-off for families and carers is the constant worry if something goes wrong while they are not at home with their parent or partner with dementia. LifeLink appreciates the juggling act families and carers have to keep loved ones relaxed in their familiar home environment, yet safe and secure. LifeLink can assist in practical ways in the home, to balance peace of mind with loved ones well-being.

LifeLink Telecare has assistive technologies to support people with a wide variety of care needs. LifeLink for example, can provide personal emergency alarms, a response centre to help solve in-home accidents or escalate to 000 services. If there is an incident, our LifeLink operator will stay on the phone with your loved one providing a reassuring presence until help arrives.
We also have automated sensors for water, gas, lighting and door exits.

LifeLink Telecare sensor products can detect a fall, or alert you or a family member to a lack of movement in the home, or an exit from the house. For example we have door sensors that will detect if your parent or partner leaves the house. If you live with your partner you can be alerted at any time, even when you are asleep. If you are at work or out getting the groceries, the Response Centre will alert you.. LifeLink can help to alert you to potentially life-threatening situations, whether you are in another room of the home, sleeping, or not at home.
There are many ways LifeLink can reassure families and carers whilst helping dementia sufferers stay at home safely.

Dementia care tips

“My husband has early dementia. He tends to forget to do things, or gets distracted, forgets his pills or even tries to wander off from the house when I am in the garden or asleep at night. It was a constant worry for me that he might hurt himself or cause a fire or some sort of accident. I worried every time I went to the shops, even for an hour. By installing LifeLink Telecare’s base alarm, gas and water sensors plus a door sensor, I am so relieved that I can now go to the shops or for a coffee with a friend. It eases the burden on me, giving me some peace of mind for a few hours if I am out and a better sleep during the night.”
