Smart Caller Blue Phone or Picture Phone are phones that have large easy to operate buttons with the option of one touch dialling which can be personalised by a photo. Some models may include alarms that can be set for medication and meal time reminders depending on the model of phone used.
Automated Home Systems can use wireless or ‘hard wiring’ technology to operate appliances, lighting, water usage and security in the home as well as communicating this information to call centres. Some systems can monitor when the resident has left their home/when they have returned and notify a carer or call centre if there are changes to a person’s regular routine that indicate they could be unwell or injured.
