NRS Healthcare
NRS Healthcare provides daily living aids and technology enabled care services (TECS) to people living in their own home, residential homes and nursing homes on behalf of Bucks County Council.
​
Technology-enabled care is a service designed to help you live more independently for longer. It can range from solutions as simple as a button you press if you need assistance through to more innovative solutions such as apps or GPS devices.
​
Technology-enabled care can provide reassurance to family, friends and carers. It can:
-
Remind you of things you to do, like when to take your tablets or if you have an appointment in your diary
-
Send an alert to a response centre or carer if you need help
-
Use GPS technology to help you remain safe when you’re out and about in the local community.
