Smart Technology
The Assistive Technology Services provides technological solutions to support and enable people to live comfortably and securely in their own homes, promoting well-being, independence, reassurance, whilst providing peace of mind, safety, security, and protection.
As Assistive Technology evolves our service is expanding to provide more interactive and preventative equipment which will aid with
- Dementia Memory related issues for example wandering or safety within the home.
- Falls Prevention – using technology as a prevention of night-time falls, for example, using smart systems to turn on lights when navigating round the house in the dark.
- Reduce risk of social isolation – equipment which provides contact with family or playing music.
- Monitoring within the home if concerned about your family members sleeping or eating habits.
- Medication reminders and equipment to show the date/day and time of day.
Further information is available by contacting the Assistive Technology Service by email assistivetech@monmouthshire.gov.uk or by telephone 01633 644466, where we will discuss your health conditions and advise what smart technology would be suitable.
How much does the Smart Technology service cost?
- A one-off installation/set up fee of £50.
- Costs start from £21.75 per month (includes your equipment)
