In our recent blog, we shared an insight into our 24/7 remote monitoring centre, based in Wexford, which operates 365 days a year to provide round-the-clock reassurance to individuals, families, and care providers across Ireland.
We explored how this specialised facility is staffed by highly trained professionals who monitor and respond to a wide range of alerts from connected devices installed in the home, worn by individuals, or integrated within healthcare and housing settings.
In this blog, we focus on how Tunstall’s out-of-hours monitoring services also support housing bodies across Ireland, helping to ensure the safety and wellbeing of residents during evenings, weekends, and holidays when on-site staffing may be limited or unavailable.
Out-of-Hours Monitoring for Housing Bodies
For many years, Tunstall has partnered with housing bodies to deliver reliable out-of-hours monitoring solutions. Using advanced telecare technology, residents can be monitored safely outside of normal working hours, with immediate support available if an emergency occurs.
How Tunstall Provides Solutions to Housing Bodies
The Tunstall team works closely with each housing body to understand their specific requirements. We begin with a detailed needs assessment, engaging with key stakeholders to identify the most appropriate solutions. Once needs are established, tailored assistive technology products are supplied and installed are then supported by our 24/7 monitoring centre to ensure ongoing safety and peace of mind.
Through telecare technology, residents are monitored overnight, at weekends, and during holiday periods. If an emergency is detected, our monitoring centre is alerted immediately and can:
- Contact the housing body’s emergency response team
- Liaise directly with emergency services, including ambulance or fire brigade
- Ensure help is dispatched quickly and effectively
Out-of-hours monitoring can deliver significant cost benefits for housing bodies. Rather than maintaining expensive 24-hour on-site staffing, organisations can rely on Tunstall’s telecare systems and monitoring centre to provide consistent overnight and out-of-hours cover.
This approach enables housing providers to:
- Reduce staffing costs
- Improve emergency response times
- Maintain high standards of resident safety
Tunstall works collaboratively with each housing body to design and implement a bespoke monitoring plan, tailored to their environment, residents, and emergency procedures.
Telecare Technology and Its Benefits
Telecare technology is a core component of our service and may include:
Together, these technologies create a comprehensive safety net, supporting independent living while ensuring help is always available when needed.
