STAY (Sandwell Telecare Assisting You) is the new name for an innovative service to help vulnerable people live at home as safely and independently as possible.
Formerly known as Telecare, STAY provides and installs a variety of equipment to monitor and maintain a safe home.
The new name more accurately reflects the aims of the service which is jointly funded by Sandwell Council and Sandwell Primary Care Trust.
Previously, the telecare team found that residents did not know what telecare was or how it could help them. The name STAY comes from the five main principles of the service:
· stay independent
· stay assured
· stay healthy
· stay safe
· stay in your home
STAY equipment ranges from fall and movement sensors to smoke detectors, alarms buttons, pendants and remote control switches; and is free of charge.
