CareCalls delivers reminders and check-ins via landline or mobile. We can deliver as many phone calls as are needed 24 hours a day 7 days a week. When a call is answered we play a message reminding the listener to do important tasks, such as taking medication. If they don’t answer the phone at any time, other people can be informed.
Benefits
Independence
Many of our customers are still at a stage where they still greatly value independence, while family members or carers may visit in order to help, it can be irritating (and potentially expensive) to have someone constantly monitoring you.
Improved or maintained health & quality of life
Through compliance with pill or medication prescriptions. CareCalls are consistently provided with feedback that the system massively reduces the amount of medication or pills forgotten. If someone is forgetting an important task e.g. forgetting to hydrate, they may be experiencing a compromised quality of life. CareCalls can be personalised to remind call receivers of any household task.
Dangerous situations.
If someone has a fall or blackout, a regular CareCall is able to alert a neighbour, family member or carer. We are frequently alerted of situations where an individual has had an accident at home and it was brought to attention by a missed CareCall. Through addressing these situations quickly, call receivers have been saved from more serious circumstances.
