Sentry Telecare Program to Market Telephone Check-in (US and Canada)

If the recipient of the check-in call does not acknowledge it, a protocol for contacting a designated responsible person who can check on the client, or arrange emergency attendance, is set in motion. The system costs $18.50 per month to US and Canadian clients and involves only the client’s existing telephone with no additional equipment – no pendant or bracelet to wear.

This press release seems to have been triggered by two events, Sentry Telecare recently entered into agreements with the Victoria and Duncan, British Columbia, branches of We Care Home Health Services based in Toronto and a ‘save’ by the system of a woman with epilepsy (presumably) who would have been unable to trigger a panic button alert.
