A Telecare Advisor can arrange an obligation free demonstration in the comfort of your own home. The Telecare Advisors take time to fully understand your needs and match the service to suit you.
You and your loved ones are shown how to use the equipment during the same visit. If you prefer, you can arrange a separate installation visit at a later date.
Call Medequip Connect on 0345 460 8000 to arrange an obligation free visit.
Medequip Connect product catalogue
When a Telecare Advisor visits your home to carry out an assessment and demonstrate Medequip Connect Telecare, they will ask you a number of questions about your health, mobility and social circumstances.
Based on your responses they may suggest additional sensors and products but there is no obligation or pressure to opt for these.
Additional cost will be explained fully prior to any decision being made and any equipment being installed.
