Providing TLC for the Future

On Thursday 9 June, Ipswich Mayor Paul Pisasale will launch Ipswich Community Aid’s new assistive technology demonstrator facility, the TLC Centre.
Located at 26 Commercial Drive, Springfield, the new facility aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of assistive technologies and telehealthcare as a valuable component of community care.

The TLC Centre features working models of the latest assistive technology and invites industry professionals, carers and the community to come and try the technology for themselves.

The Centre is organised into focus areas that explore issues such as falls, dementia, sensory impairment and more, offering technology focused solutions to better manage these conditions from home.

All of the technology aims to be discrete and assist people to maintain their independence and dignity in the home for longer than they otherwise would.
All of the technology is contributed by Tunstall Healthcare, the world’s leading provider of assistive technology.

Like Ipswich Community Aid, Tunstall support people living with special conditions with the aim of providing better quality of life and increased independence.
Ipswich Community Aid and Tunstall Healthcare came up with the TLC Centre concept in 2009 and are looking forward to launch the new facility.
Following the launch, the TLC will be open to the public from 10am to 3pm for a community open day with activities, demonstrations and a BBQ lunch.
