Latest updates... Carers Rights Day 2021 DescriptionCarers Rights Day 2021Today is Carers Rights Day. A very important day to ensure carers are aware of their rights and can access the support that is available to them as soon as they need it. This is particularly important given the very challenging year that carers have endured.There is a lot of support in Hertfordshire, including Carers in Hertfordshire and Crossroads Care, and nationally, Carers UK. Please do contact them for support if you need it.We find that assistive technology can also play a part in supporting carers, giving them peace on mind that help is on hand 24/7 for the person they care for. This means they can 'step out' for an appointment or to work, knowing that we can be there to help too. Please contact us to see the options that are available.Carers Rights Day - Carers UK Enjoy a free Hot Chocolate on us this festive season DescriptionEnjoy a free Hot Chocolate on us this festive seasonAs a little gift from us to you this Christmas Herts Careline is treating customers, who join the service in December, to a very delicious Hot Chocolate.Delicious, soothing and warming, these luxury hot chocolate sachets with marshmallows and apple crunch sprinkles are a tasty treat as the weather draws colder.

DescriptionHerts Careline is looking to shape the future of its telecare service and would like the opinions of those who use the service and those who may use the service in the future.Telecare includes sensors and detectors such as emergency alarm buttons, smoke alarms, fall detectors, flood detectors, door sensors, outdoor pendants, bed mats and smart sensors that all trigger through to a control room if they sense a risk to a person. They can help older and vulnerable adults and children live more independently in their own homes for longer.Thank you for answering a few questions to help shape our service. Remembrance Day DescriptionToday at 11am we'll be pausing for thought to remember those who in the British and Commonwealth military serve our country in times of unrest. We wear our poppies with pride. Halloween - be aware of who you scare. Enjoy but take care DescriptionHalloween - be aware of who you scare. Enjoy but take careHalloween will look different this year, and we're hoping people of Hertfordshire will play their part and only celebrate Halloween safely, helping to save lives by preventing the spread of the coronavirus.We worry every year that trick or treaters will make those in our care worry when they receive a knock on the door after dark. If you are going out this spooky season, we encourage you to keep in mind there may be vulnerable people living in your community to be mindful of. Only knock on doors where there is a pumpkin out, and think of others around you.We know there may be calls to Herts Careline's control room on Halloween night from anxious residents, so do keep us all in mind so safe, low-Covid-risk fun can be enjoyed by those who want to take part.
