Bordercare Community Alarm System
Bordercare is a community alarm system which gives an immediate response in an emergency. Using an ordinary telephone line, Bordercare gives the user an automatic link to a control centre staffed by trained operators, 24 hours a day.
Who is the service for?
The Bordercare alarm is available for people who:
- live alone or are regularly left alone
- live with someone else who could not cope in an emergency
- are at risk due to disability, frailty or ill-health and would be unable to call for assistance in an emergency.
How much will it cost?
The cost can be found in our leaflet Information on Charges for Care at Home Services (pdf 140kb).
