The Good Day Call service is a friendly wellbeing call provided by a trained member of staff to check on the welfare of an older person. The service is available to anyone aged 65 and over, who may feel lonely, vulnerable or concerned that if they were ill, they would be without the emotional support they need. In addition to providing reassurance and support we will also chat about the weather, their interests, and how they are keeping busy at home.
Our service also brings reassurance to family members who may live at a distance and be unable to visit and keep in close contact owing to their own commitments.
Our once/twice weekly call helps tackle these issues by making sure the person is well and provides an opportunity for a friendly chat. We may be the only person they get to speak to all day.
Who will call?
