Telecare
The Vale of Glamorgan Council accommodates a Telecare Alarm Service (previously the Vale Community Alarm Service, VCAS). If an alarm is raised, the 24-hour (7-day a week) monitoring service staff will contact a relative, neighbour or the emergency services to summons help.
We want to consider whether the current Telecare service (TeleV, TeleV+ and VCAS) is meeting the needs of individuals, their carers and families, therefore it would be incredibly beneficial to us if you could answer a few questions. We will use this information to inform the development of the service for the future.
