Our remote carers can help you with things such as taking medication, measuring your blood sugar levels and checking how you are feeling in general. Care visits are planned in cooperation with our home care services based on your own needs, to support your care and service plan and to maintain your functional ability.
If you wish, you can also join a remote lunch group with other clients.
Remote care is carried out with easy-to-use devices that launch and end the remote connection automatically. If necessary, you can also use the device to contact your carer yourself. We will teach you how to use the device and assist in the event of any faults.
Remote visits via an automatic medicine dispenser
During a remote visit via an automatic medicine dispenser, a carer will contact you through an automatic medicine dispenser equipped with a camera.
The carer will launch the video and audio connection at the pre-agreed time and stay on the line with you as you take your medication. The visit can also be used to check how you are doing and do things like help you measure your blood sugar level or blood pressure.
