Retirement homes in the UK are facing potential additional charges for new alarm systems due to the digital landline switchover. This transition may result in increased costs for upgrading equipment to ensure compatibility with new internet-based services.
The Retirement Housing Group is actively urging the government and BT to take action to prevent these costs from burdening residents. It's crucial for authorities to address this promptly to avoid unnecessary financial strain on vulnerable customers.
Safety concerns, especially regarding power and internet outages, have been raised with the new digital system. Vulnerable residents may face risks during disruptions, emphasizing the need for a smooth transition to updated technology.
Moreover, there is a call for a fairer cost-sharing solution to lessen the financial impact on residents. Let's work together to ensure a seamless and equitable transition for our elders in retirement homes.
