Abstract

This chapter describes the evaluation of the INDEPENDENT project as it was implemented in Ireland. The project in Ireland consisted of the collaboration of the Alzheimer Society of Ireland, a not-for-profit organization providing services for people with dementia and their family carers, and Tunstall Emergency Response (TER), a commercial telecare provider organization. A joint client database was developed that provided information on alerts and events generated by the telecare system to ASI staff. An evaluation was undertaken with family carers, staff, and key stakeholders in ASI and TER. The telecare packages were given a high satisfaction rating by family carers. The Web portal was seen as beneficial by staff, in that it provided close-to-real time access to information on telecare alerts and events that could enhance care planning. However, staff regarded the portal as difficult to navigate and use. Key informants in ASI and TER both viewed the Web portal as enhancing the reputation of their organization.
