Michael Kerstein, managing director of Easiphone, said, “The launch of Telicare services is an important landmark for Easiphone and something that is very close to our heart. I launched Easiphone after experiencing first hand how difficult it can be for elderly relatives to use small button phones and the subsequent problems caused by the difficulties faced with those wishing to communicate with friends or relatives. The TeliCare service takes this a step further and is intended to make life easier and give peace of mind both for the elderly and for their friends, relatives and carers.”
In addition to speed dial functions, most Easiphone handset come complete with an emergency call button which can be pre-loaded with the person to be contacted in the case of an emergency, be this a neighbour or a relative. This button also creates an alarm to get assistance.
