Our service
Checking in at Home is a reliable, affordable and personal way to help make sure your loved ones are OK. It is a telephone based service which allows you to check in up to 3 times a day, with a different personalised message for each call.
How it works
You set up who to call, the times and frequency of calls, together with who/what numbers to call if there is no answer. Once you have signed up, we will send you an e-mail confirming how to record your personalised message(s).
We then call your relative at the agreed time (s) each day. They will hear your recorded message and press any button on the handset to confirm that they are OK. If they do not press the button, or do not answer, we will try again 10 minutes later. If they still don’t answer, we will call each of your numbers in turn until we have got the message that your loved one is not answering, to allow you take any action you think fit.
Checking in at Home has been developed to meet the needs of carers who don’t always have the option of checking in on their loved ones regularly. It is not a substitute for personal face to face care, or for you for that matter but works alongside other forms of care and support, with the aim of maintaining your loved ones independence at home for as long as possible.
