Tech care for elderly parent

Posted By severitypm34

"Tech care for elderly parent"

About: North Lanarkshire Health & Social Care Partnership / Assistive Technology Team

(as a relative),

My elderly  mother had a few falls in the home fortunately without serious injury . After intervention from the Assistive Technology Team a home camera monitoring system was installed (Komp) and a fall monitor worn on the wrist was supplied . This tech is fantastic and family members can chat via the Komp monitor and the fall monitor linked to Community Alarms provides additional peace of mind .

Thanks to Mia from Tech team who has been amazing .
