When living alone has its stresses and challenges, Northwood Intouch is here to offer solutions to help give caregivers peace of mind. Wireless, customizable, and affordable, our solutions are made to work for you.
- Our solutions are unobtrusive and easy to add or change as the need arises. As needs change, so do our solutions.
- Wireless – no unnecessary costs or complicated installation.
- Customizable – every solution is tailored to the individual using it.
- Alerts can go directly to a caregiver or Response Centre to ensure quick response.
- Our sensors are affordable with no fixed contract. Bundles allow savings while offering flexibility to mix and match.
Wherever the client is in their home from the bedroom to the kitchen, caregivers will be alerted if there is an emergency. Some of our solutions include a stove sensor, bed alarm, door alarm and flood detector.

Whether memory issues are related to dementia, Alzheimer’s or another medical condition, or just having too much on the mind, our sensors monitor the environment at all times. That means increased peace of mind for the client and their caregivers.
