              Description:
            
            Telephone reassurance calls and security checks are made by supportive, friendly volunteers. These daily 'check ins' provide a friendly contact at a designated time of the day. The volunteer calls, checks on the client's wellbeing, and chats briefly about subjects of interest to the client.
Features and Benefits:
 - Friendly volunteers provide a daily phone call to check your health and safety
 - Calls can help to alleviate loneliness and increase independence
 - Phone calls set on a prearranged schedule for a consistent connection
Telephone reassurance calls are made by trained, screened volunteers. All of our volunteers have completed criminal reference checks and supplied us with character references.
