Call&Check enables people to live independently and confidently in their own homes for as long as possible.
Our award-winning service starts with a friendly phone call once or twice a week from a member of the Call &Check team. As part of the conversation, they’ll ask some short questions to find out if any support or help is needed.
The Call&Check support team immediately pick up these requests and jump into action. They work with trusted contacts such as close family members or a GP, or anyone else nominated to give support.
Services include organising home grocery and prescription deliveries, arranging transport to appointments at the hospital and Call&Check members are also invited to regular social events to get together with friends and meet new people over a cup of tea and a cake.

In its latest report, Achieving the Provision of Creative Care, the National Association of Primary Care (NAPC) has cited Call&Check as a “creative solution” for helping to provide joined-up care for people in the community.
The Call&Check service has been referenced as a solution in the fight against the isolation and loneliness issues which have been occurring in increasing numbers during the age of COVID19. Research from the IBM Institute for Business Value has found that loneliness is almost always triggered by some form of loss, whether at a personal or societal level. While the original research looked at the ageing population, the IBM team have explored how COVID-19 exacerbates loneliness and extends the issue across all age groups. The Call&Check system assists individuals by asking questions and assisting with key actions such as home deliveries (e.g. grocery and medicines) enabling vulnerable people to maintain social distancing and to shield safely. During the pandemic, the program has been adapted leveraging the telephone for daily virtual visits and sharing the information with authorised caregivers.
