We are especially aware of our obligation toward the elderly people in our community. Elderly folk, often living alone, may have visual, hearing, mobility or other problems associated with their age or disablement. Not to mention their need for protection against the unwelcome stranger or the threat posed by an intruder.


We also know ju s t how many of those people pride themselves in their independence and how they can interpret an honest effort to help as interference.


Now we believe that we can help solve this problem, by offering a very special kind of care. I t ’s called Lifeline’, from Tunstall Telecom, a totally integrated system with emergency alarm facilities for the elderly living either in community housing or in their own homes.


Connected to our 24-hours-a-day Control Centre, Lifeline gives immediate help to the elderly or infirm in an emergency.
