FACE-TO-FACE advice on a service which provides constant help for people who want to live independently is being offered in an East Yorkshire town.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council and Humber NHS Foundation Trust will be using the health organisation’s shop in Quay Road, in Bridlington, to provide information about the lifeline service, run by the local authority to fit sensors around residents’ homes which are linked to a call centre.
The sensors monitor personal risks such as falls and bogus callers, as well as acting as flooding, fire and carbon monoxide alerts.
The service is available to people of all ages, including the elderly, vulnerable and disabled, people who have been discharged from hospital and those at risk of domestic violence, harassment or distraction burglaries.
