Payment systems
We are currently experiencing intermittent issues with our payment systems. We are working hard to fix the problem but please try again later if you are not able to make a payment now. Apologies for any inconvenience.
Residents in the Richmondshire area can access our Lifeline and telecare service, a 24 hour support service that helps you to stay safe and independent in your own home.
We give you a device that connects to your telephone and a call button that you wear around your neck or on your wrist in your home.
Our trained mobile wardens can be sent to customers in emergency situations.
You can also add extra Telecare equipment to your Lifeline service. Telecare equipment can monitor certain situations and automatically raise an alarm.
Our staff will be able to advise which telecare equipment is suitable for you. This could include:
Telecare equipment costs 75p per item per week. No VAT is charged for telecare equipment.
The Lifeline emergency response service costs £6.50 per week, plus VAT. (£7.80 per week including VAT)
If you are disabled or have a long-term illness, you will not be charged VAT on products designed or adapted for your own personal or domestic use.
