| Annotation | The term "24-hour cover", in the context of this booklet, refers to a method by which residents can be confident that without fail, they can get help at any time of the day or night, by using in-house alarm systems, either to reach staff or to a separate control system that can summon assistance. This booklet gives reasons why Abbeyfield supported sheltered houses (SSH) are seeking to provide 24-hour cover, but noting issues such as the Working Time Regulations, the financial implications of doing so, and a check-list of on-call arrangements.
