What is TeleCare?

TeleCare is the use of technology to track health information such as activity, vital signs, and medication adherence in the comfort and privacy of one's own home. TeleCare technology works in conjunction with visiting nurse home care case managers. The additions of these high tech tools enhance the reach of home care professionals by providing accurate and up-to-date health status information. This allows for timely, informed interventions when a change in health status is identified. Using TeleCare technology as a means for supporting self-care and through continuous remote monitoring, Keystone provides interventions, which can avoid or delay nursing home placement or unnecessary hospitalizations.

Initial equipment rental and/or purchase, installation, and monthly case management monitoring fees are affordable for many individuals. The programs can be implemented independently or in combination with the others, cost is based on the specific program or combination of programs needed.
