If you have mobility problems then you may want to consider the Community Alarm Service. This is a 24 hour 365 day monitoring service that gives you the freedom to live your life independently knowing that you can obtain assistance when you need it.
The Dundee MyLife website can signpost you to information about extra support to help with your care needs by helping you - or the person you care for - see more clearly what services are available in the local area and how to access them. It pulls together support and services from birth up to old age, across social care, health, education and wider support within the community.
