Lifeline
Poole Lifeline provides a compact emergency alarm system for all people at risk living in their own homes. Back up by a local control centre equipped with call-handling computers, which provide 2-way speech communication between callers and caring staff.
Poole Lifeline Telecare services are available to all sections of the community irrespective of their age, gender, race, disability or sexual orientation.
Not only people who live alone, but couples who are worried about each other, if one of them has to go out for any reason.
For those of you who have moved to this area, perhaps on retirement, leaving your families in other parts of the country, the service offered by Poole Lifeline ensures peace of mind for them and insurance for you.
Support is also available to Victims of crime and domestic violence through close liaison with Dorset Police and Victim Support groups.
The subscription to the Poole lifeline service is purely voluntary however there may be occasions when the service is recommended as part of a support / care package you receive from Social Services.
Poole Lifeline is an emergency response service, it cannot help with your day to day care.
