How does it work?
Each customer is given a small base unit with a trigger button and an accompanying pendant which can be triggered from anywhere in the home.
Once a call is received, our staff will be able to speak to you and will decide what action to take. This might be calling an ambulance, the police or your GP.
If you are unable to speak to the staff, we will have your information on screen and will contact your nominated key holders, such as family or friends as necessary and ask them to visit you.
To connect to Linkline, you will need a telephone, a telephone point, a 13 amp socket close by and two keyholders. If you have a problem providing a key holder you may be able to use a key safe, you can discuss this when you apply.
How much does it cost?
