| Abstract: | My paper today is in two parts, the requirements and social benefits of the Telecare Service and the latter part being a factual case study of a typical system in the Southwest part of England. A fundamental requirement of any care for the elderly is the provision of a telecommunication network which enables organisations responsible for care and support to contact people; and enable those in the community to contact those with responsibility to care for them. Such a communication network may be used for routine operations of the support agencies and for emergency needs. |
