Housing for older people

Social housing has a well established supported housing sector, providing additional management for the homes of older people and other vulnerable groups.

However, older people are at a greater risk of poverty, ill health and social isolation. There is a real need for their homes to be accessible, healthy and safe.

Alertacall provides services that address these needs in general needs or supported housing, helping landlords keep properties well maintained and mitigating the harmful effects of loneliness, and digital exclusion.

The touchscreen provides digital engagement and our friendly contact centre is available 365 days a year for those who prefer speaking to person.

Tenants on our service feel safer in their homes, more connected and better informed.

We provide replacements to traditional hardwired warden call systems in supported housing blocks.

These deliver a host of benefits such as:

  • video door entry monitoring from the comfort of an armchair
  • dispersed alarms not restricted to being near a base station
  • housing team to tenant video calling
  • smoke detectors which combine with health and safety messaging for a comprehensive fire safety approach

Contact us to find out more about a lower cost and less institutionalised alternative to hardwired systems that is Digital Switchover ready.

If you would like to know more please contact us.
