Assistive Technology

Assistive Technology (AT) helps manage demand for care and support services. It can help people remain independent, improve their lives and have financial benefits. People are signposted to AT as required, they can also self fund.

Just Checking [external link] can be part of the Adult Social Care assessment process. These are sensors which detect activity in the home. They can be set to detect movement and things like doors opening, length of time in bed, how long the house is empty etc.

It can be peace of mind for people looking out for loved ones.

Many of our services use a range of AT. These include;

• interactive screens
• digital tablets
• OmiVista magic tables [external link]
• other sensory equipment

The feedback about the benefits of AT is very positive.
