Support Seniors this Summer

If you live alone and are concerned about your safety in the summer fire and flood season, Tunstall Healthcare, the world’s leading provider of telehealthcare can ensure you are safe and supported.

Tunstall offers personal alarms that are installed in the home and allow you to make quick and easy contact with a response centre operator who will organise the appropriate assistance in and emergency.

This might be for a family member or friend to assist you out of the home, after hours GP to be organised, ambulance or State Emergency Service to be called.

If a family member or friend is required, Tunstall will contact all of your personal responders until they find someone available to assist. The response operator will also stay on the line until help arrives.

During the floods in Queensland in 2011 Tunstall assisted hundreds of older people who felt isolated in their home by offering a friendly voice at the end of the phone.

Tunstall’s personal alarm can be activated from anywhere in the home, providing two way speech between the user and response centre.

Tunstall offers support to those who want to maintain their independence in the home and peace of mind for their friends and family.
