Night Owl - Supporting your Local Service
In our conversations with local authorities and housing associations, we often find a fondness for their current Technology Enabled Care (TEC) solution.
It’s often served the community well for many years and is valued by residents and their families.
We appreciate that history and can help sustain and support your service, without damaging its focus and compassionate values.
Night Owl gives you the ability to deliver your organisations strategic ambitions and support to your community whilst significantly reducing telephony, equipment, maintenance and operating costs.
With Taking Care's Night Owl service, you could cut the costs of running your alarm monitoring service.
