Harrogate Lifeline Service
Harrogate Lifeline is our emergency alarm and monitoring
service provided to enable older vulnerable people to continue to
live in their own homes with greater confidence no matter where
they live and irrespective of their tenure.
We provide a Lifeline unit, installed by a Floating Support
Warden, which plugs into the home telephone point and a personal
alarm pendant to be worn around the neck or clipped onto
clothing.
A team of professional, friendly staff at the Call Centre
answer the calls and arrange help whatever the problem.
We offer two levels of service dependent on your support
needs.
- Level 1 a monthly visit by a Floating Support Warden and emergency response
- Level 2 a weekly visit by a Floating Support Warden and emergency response.
Funding for the service is available for people in receipt of
Housing Benefit or Council Tax Benefit or if you are on a limited
income you could apply for a Financial Assessment.
