NEW Lifeline Plus Package
We have now launched our Lifeline Plus package, which includes Falls Detectors.
The discreet falls detector is worn around the neck or wrist and will automatically trigger an alert to our monitoring centre if the wearer falls.
The cost of the Lifeline Plus Package is £5.52 per week (or £287.00 per annum) and includes the Standard Lifeline service.
Furthermore, we are able to offer Key Safe installation. Key safes are particularly useful for people using a Lifeline Alarm and Pendant, providing a quick way to gain access in an emergency situation.
Call us now on 0115 917 3358 to start your independent journey.

LLeisure Nominates Tenant for Get Active Awards
One of our tenants at Cloverlands Court has been nominated for a Get Active award for their commitment to LLeisure's 'Movement to Music' class.
They are seeing the benefits of exercise, with improvements to their diabetes as a result of being active. They have said that being active makes them feel alive and this gives them more energy and motivation to change their diet, which has had a positive effect on their health. They also happier and proud of themself after taking part in the class, saying “It’s the after-effects of exercise. I feel like I’ve achieved!”
Amy, the class instructor said “They are amazing! They come every week and rounds up the other tenants to come too. They've always got a smile and makes everyone laugh. They are an inspiration!”
The Housing Department wishes them good luck and is looking forward to hearing the results from the nomination.
