TEC offers benefits to both people receiving support and their carers. 

If you are a carer yourself, finding the right TEC for the person you support can help them stay independent. But it can also give you peace of mind. There are also a lot of tools that aim to make caring easier. So when you’re looking for a tool, consider your needs alongside those of the person you support. You might be able to find some technologies that tick both boxes. Some apps aim to help families organise care or manage emergencies. 

They can also provide an overview of the wellbeing of the person they look after. There are also tools aimed at the person receiving support. Sometimes, these can be provided through housing associations or care providers.
