Places for People has installed Alertacall’s Housing Proactive service at 100 of its retirement living schemes.
The Housing Proactive service is giving over 3,000 residents access to digital touchscreens for two-way communications with their housing provider, reporting of repairs and nuisances, and daily wellness confirmations via Alertacall’s OKEachDay service.
The roll-out across Places for People’s Living Plus communities is following a pilot project at 800 properties in Huntingdon and Derby, including general needs, leaseholder, retirement living and supported homeless.
Christine Candlish, director of Living Plus, Places for People, said, “The Alertacall touchscreen device allows our residents to report repairs and have two-way digital engagement with us. At the same time, we can check everything is all right at their property and that their changing needs are being identified.
“Even those who’ve never used this kind of technology before have found it easy to use, and the installation process is quick and simple.”
