Introduction
The Technology Enabled Care Services (TECS) team provides guidance, training, and advice to citizens and professionals. When appropriate, we can loan assistive technology to support the independence and safety of people living in Cambridgeshire. We can also provide reassurance and support for family members. People are happier and healthier when they can remain as independent as possible in their communities.
Our services:
- prevent, reduce and delay the need for formal care services
- support informal carers
- help communities build resilience
