Tunstall Healthcare is providing and installing new door entry systems which are designed to be secure and robust, ensuring tenants feel safe in their homes.
The council is also using Tunstall’s Communicall Vi, an easy to use, integrated system which is designed to support better care delivery with access to real-time information, reporting and a flexible platform for needs-based telecare solutions.
John Conway, head of housing at Kettering Council, said: “Over the next five years the Sparkle project will bring major improvements to all of our ten sheltered housing schemes across the borough.”
