Wellbeing Response Service

In addition to its other provision, Wellbeing Lincs operates its own response service to provide a reliable response in situations where there is no-one else conveniently located or able to help in a hurry.

Regardless of which telecare provider a customer uses, they can choose the Wellbeing Lincs’ Response Service to be called up, to respond to non-medical emergencies at their home and provide reassurance – any time of day or night.

The Wellbeing Response Service is available for just £2.50 a week, and available to any user of any telecare provision, regardless of whether they have accessed the broader Wellbeing Lincs service or not.

Wellbeing Lincs’ Responders are trained to respond to non-medical emergencies, such as:

• A fall which doesn’t require immediate medical attention
• Situations when a responder is needed, but no immediate family or friends are available
• Minor flooding or the trigger of a fire or smoke alarm which do not require fire and rescue services to attend (eg burnt food)
• Bogus callers and antisocial behaviour, to give reassurance and support while you wait for the police to respond

This service does not replace emergency services which, in an emergency, would be called directly by the telecare monitoring service.
