newham advanced telecare (neat)
Newham Advanced Telecare (NeAT) is a system that extends the Newham Network Community Alarms Service.
A range of sensors in vulnerable peoples' homes sends alerts automatically to the control centre if problems are detected. The sensors monitor and detect changes as they occur and alert the person before a situation gets out of control.
This means a call for help can still be triggered even if you have fallen and can't physically reach a cord or button, or you are too distressed to do so.
Basic sensors can, for example, send an alert if:
- Smoke is detected
- Abnormal heat is detected in the kitchen
- The sink or bath has overflowed
More advanced systems can send an alert if something unusual happens, such as the gas having been left on, or the water supply not having been used for a prolonged period.
For more information about Telecare Services call the Newham Network Community Alarm Service on 020 8534 8626.
