Response Plus operate a telecare alarm and a response service that can be used to support your own company. The service provides 24/7/365 cover and can be used on a permanent basis. This is useful for night time or during planned and emergencies periods to keep your clients in contact with your company and to provide your staff with the knowledge that they are safe when your office is closed, or when they are in the field working alone. With our escalation plans you can decide on the action that needs to be taken. This could be someone from your company calling at a certain time of the day to see if there is any messages, or in an emergency we can contact you straight away and work through any pre planned action plans.
