We at Comfort Keepers are pleased to announce that we have chosen to work with Fold TeleCare to provide a telecare service for our clients. Fold TeleCare, part of Fold Housing Association is the leading 24 hour telecare service in Ireland. Fold is a not for profit organisation and currently supports over 20,000 people through the telecare service.

Fold TeleCare provides a range of non-intrusive telecare sensors which work with a smart lifeline unit to offer a comprehensive way of managing the risks to a person’s health and home environment. Telecare services enhance and support independent living, and in certain cases facilitate early discharge from nursing care or hospital. Telecare is widely used to support independent living for people who may be:

•  Living alone
•  Living in fear of crime
•  At risk from falling
•  At risk from effects of dementia such as wandering, leaving cookers on etc.
•  At risk from epilepsy

Fold’s telecare service ensures that when a telecare sensor is activated, we will receive an instant alert at our 24 hour monitoring centre, where a trained caring advisor will take the appropriate action, i.e. call a nominated carer, family member or emergency services.

Fold’s telecare service is unique in that a full assessment of need is carried out in conjunction with the client, family member and health professional. A telecare package suited to the person’s need is agreed and installed. Continual monitoring and reviews ensure that the package is updated according to the persons need.
