Freedom - and what it means to you
1 / 15Pages

Life changing. Life saving We all need help and support at some time in our lives, especially as we get older. But we also want our independence. We want and need to feel in control. Tunstall LifeCare gives you the freedom to live life to the full, whether you have a long-term health or care need, or look after someone who does. We bring care into the home, helping you to stay out of hospital or residential care and live independently yet safely. We monitor your vital signs remotely and unobtrusively and manage the risks to you in your home, so you can get on with your life. But the moment...

It’s life-changing. I see a nurse once a week instead of three times, and the doctor once every six months instead of every three weeks. I control my condition now instead of it controlling me. I’m so much happier and my wife has really noticed the difference in me. Harold | 85 York

When you have a loved one with many needs to care for, it can feel like you’re on duty 24/7. So, it was wonderful, it allowed me to relax, gave me chill-out time. I wasn’t on alert throughout the night. Sarah | 35 Milton K

Because my COPD is so acute, my sister has been caring for me every day for the past three years. Now I have telehealth, and my sister knows the nurse is looking at me every day, and will send someone to me if there’s ever a problem. She’s been able to have her first holiday in 3 years! Agnes | 77 Glouc

Now we have the sensors, we feel so much more restful and a lot less stressed. Someone said to us ‘it’s like Big Brother watching you’, and I said it’s more like Big Brother’s friend looking after us. Bob | 79

I could’ve laid there for a couple of days. I live alone, and although I have good family members and neighbours, it could’ve been some time before they found me. Instead, all I had to do was press a button and help was at hand. Robert | 89 Derby

My patients on telehealth are happy because they’re at home where they want to be, with their families. Telehealth monitors them on a regular basis, helping to reassure them, keep them calm which then reduces the risk of exacerbation and hospital admission. Dr Richard Berkley | South Gloucestersh

Telecare has changed our lives. The enuresis is managed and is very rare, and Jason is less aggressive and easier to cope with. Now I can sleep well at night, without worrying about accidents. Jenny | Bristo

Telehealth has enabled me to manage my caseload effectively – I can spend more time with the patients who need me most. All of my patients have responded really positively to telehealth; it’s given many of them a new lease of life. Dawn Watson | Case Manager, North York

We can now sleep in our own bed again, knowing we’ll be alerted if our son has an epileptic seizure during the night. This has given us peace of mind and reduced the anxiety and sleepless nights. It’s also given me more time to spend with my other child during the day. Seema | Birmi

It’s given me such peace of mind, and a feeling of security. I can go out into the garden now or upstairs to do a few jobs without rushing and worrying all the time, it’s made such a difference to my life. I feel a lot less stressed now, and I can get a good night’s sleep without listening out all the time. Angela

Telehealth has been a great benefit to me, as it helps me manage my condition on a daily basis. Before if I became unwell I would wait another day to see if my condition improved. Sadly it never did, and I ended up in hospital for long periods of time. I now know when I’m becoming unwell and can act immediately. Adrian | H
