Bracknell Forest Council, as part of an East Berkshire consortium, is conducting a survey. The aim of the survey is to learn how unpaid carers use assistive technology, such as alarms, monitors and smart devices, in their caregiving.
We want to find out which devices help the most, explore other tools in use and identify gaps in what's available.
The survey is for unpaid carers who live in East Berkshire.
The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete.
Currently, your lifeline is connected to the analogue phone network. This network is being replaced by a digital one. This is called the digital upgrade.
We will start upgrading lifeline alarms and any linked sensors in the coming months.
Forestcare is a 24 hour telecare response centre based in the heart of Bracknell.
We provide a range of telecare solutions to both individuals and organisations. Our dedicated team is here every day of the year to provide support and assistance.
We are regulated by both the Telecare Services Association and the Care Quality Commission to make sure the services we offer are of the highest standard.
We want to make sure you get the services you need.

If you are a medical professional and discharging a patient, refer them to Forestcare to help them get the support at home that they need.
Why not investigate our range of sensors and see how else we can help you.
Not long after my alarm was installed, I fell and injured myself. I was able to activate my alarm and put a call through to Forestcare, who called my daughter and arranged for an ambulance to attend.
I did not realise the importance of having a lifeline alarm and wearing my pendant until I suffered this accident.
My friend had fallen and was trapped in an awkward position.
He rang me and I managed to get him propped against his chair but needed help to sort him out fully.
