Angus Health & Social Care Partnership has recently launched the Check TEC Out initiative. This project has been funded through the Scottish Government Technology Enabled Care Programme.
We know that people are often unaware of the potential of technology and how it could help them to live independently in their own home. With Check TEC Out people are offered the opportunity to ‘check out’ a range of technology enabled care (TEC) equipment, free of charge for 4 weeks. The equipment included in the Check TEC Out initiative is:-
Kirrie Connections has examples of all these amazing gadgets in our Technology Room, as well as some of the other useful devices which are available from the Community Alarm service. Pop in any day from Monday to Friday for a demonstration.
If you know of anybody who you think could benefit from any of this technology to support them to live independently in their own home please contact Glenda Hunter email: huntergl@angus.gov.uk phone: 01307 473152 or 07984 458656. Anyone interested in trying this equipment should be aware that they will be asked to fill in an evaluation questionnaire to help learn about the effectiveness of the equipment.
This is a pilot scheme, and there will be an assessment process before the items are given for the trial.
After the 4 week trial, people will be given information on where to purchase this equipment.
Thoughtfully written and very engaging from start to finish. The way this post captures the pace and priorities of a busy period feels very relatable and grounded in real experience. I appreciated how clearly the ideas were structured, making it easy to follow along. I recently came across a similar reflection on https://www.whirlwell.net/ and it added another useful perspective that complemented what you shared here so well. Overall, a meaningful and enjoyable read.
Perspective-wise, this post does a great job capturing how full and demanding January can feel while still keeping things relatable and grounded. The flow of the story makes it easy to reflect on similar busy periods in our own lives. I appreciated how clearly the moments were explained without overcomplicating them. It reminded me of a short lifestyle reflection I once read on https://www.carsoup.com/ where everyday routines were viewed with a fresh lens, which made this piece even more engaging and thoughtful to read.
