Living independently at home

Care Technology (CT, and sometimes referred to as ‘telecare’) is monitoring and alert equipment that can help you to remain independent in your home and in the community.

Our vision is to support people with mental health needs to live in a place called home, surrounded by the people they love and with access to the things they choose to do.
