Safety Sensors

It is important that we stay safe in our homes, and there are a number of safety sensors which can help. These sensors raise an alarm inside the home, and some can be set to also raise alarms with nominated people such as caregivers or monitoring centres.  

These include 

  • Smoke sensor, which senses particles in the air which may indicate the presence of a fire 
  • Carbon monoxide sensor, which detects the presence of carbon monoxide
  • Heat sensors, which monitor if the temperature in the home goes over or below a set limit, or if it goes up too quickly in a short space of time.    

These sensors can be purchased privately or as part of a telecare package.
