Alexa service

Technology for people who don’t do technology.

A Somerset grandmother with Alzheimer’s who cannot use a telephone or operate Alexa, had never seen her grandchildren in New Zealand. We set up an Alexa service for her and her family and now she sees them on a daily basis.

Our Alexa service brings voice control to people who don’t do technology. Alexa helps people to be more independent and makes it easier for family, friends and carers to keep in touch. Alexa is easy to use and can be linked to other services and devices to do so much more. Once installed, calls are free

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What does it cost?

    The initial chat is free. After that we charge £25 an hour. A basic Alexa Echo Show which allows video calls, costs around £80. Getting you up and running will cost around £150. We can probably give you a better idea of costs once we’ve spoken.

    Are you part of the Council?

    We are not part of the council or the NHS. We are independent and this is our own business. We cover a wide range of equipment which enables us to select what is best for you. Council Telecare services like Careline may offer some of the equipment we recommend. If what you need is available through your council we will tell you. We am not tied to any manufacturers or service providers and we don’t get any commission for the equipment we recommend or supply.

    What is Care Technology?

    Put simply care technology is anything which will help with care. We specialise in equipment to help with communications like specialist telephones and Alex video calling, equipment to detect problems like fire and falls and call for help, and equipment to help with medication and controlling your home.

    How do you know what to do?

    We’ve been working in this field for over 12 years and we have a wide range of experience. We’ve worked for local authority services, the NHS, care homes and commercial providers. We’ve been working independently for over five years. We also cared for Dylan’s parents for seven years. We focus on practical solutions which work for real people in real situations.
