The objective is achieved by supplying a range of assistive technology/telecare services and community telemedicine services.  The project covers three separate strands.  PART ONE -  Assistive Technology/Telecare: Northern Ireland Housing Executive provide the lease to a house for three years.  The house will be fully adapted with assistive technology ranging from heat and flood sensors to fall sensors and video/television door entry systems and used for demonstration purposes, training and office accommodation.  Approximately 25 older people each year will receive assistive technology/telecare packages in their own homes linked to Fold's existing community alarms service.  PART TWO - Reablement pilot: Fold Housing have provided a bungalow to facilitate earlier discharge of 2 people from hospital on a 2- weekly cycle.  A reablement home support team has been established to offer assessments and rehabilitation to people entering the scheme. PART THREE - Community Telemedicine: This part of the project will set up appropriate technology with a GP practice for each year of the project.  A rural area will be identified and 10 people selected to participate for each of the three years.
