GPS location service

Who it helps and assistance

The majority of GPS Location Service users are older people, many of them living with forms of dementia. However, it has also been used to provide support and reassurance for people caring for anyone of any age with various needs. It also has the ability to be used to help businesses that have people who work alone.

Get assistance

Referrals can come from anyone - a friend, relative, health or social care professional.

Meals at Home can take the hassle out of meal time, delivering nutritiously balanced dishes hot and ready to eat to homes across the borough. Meals are delivered to the door or into the home between 11.30am and 2pm each day.

We provide a door-to-door transport service to appointments, facilities and social activities in Runnymede and the neighbouring area for older residents or those with a disability.

Our Community alarms service is exactly that - help at the touch of a button. Through a discreet device worn around the neck or wrist this round the clock monitored service gives emergency assistance, support, and reassurance to those who most need it, when they most need it.

Telecare sensors and monitors are linked to a community alarm and provide additional support and assistance for individuals to live independently at home with added peace of mind.

Social centres in and around Runnymede have a lively, friendly atmosphere and offer our older residents the opportunity to get involved in a range of activities, have a freshly prepared hot lunch and meet new people.
