With an increasingly ageing demographic, and with the public purse reduced by a total of some £83 billion across the board, the search for suitable alternatives and understanding of options is incredibly important – for social care providers, individuals with older family living at home.

If social care really is ‘everyone’s responsibility’, how can we help?
The Home Calls service provides cost effective peace of mind for those responsible for those adults who remain living in their own home. So what are the benefits of the service?

Service recipients: remain comfortable in their own home and community with the certainty that they will have a guaranteed, time-specific call every day to check that all is well.

Family or service provider: the knowledge that the individual has guaranteed check, that they will be alerted if there are any problems and that the service is very cost effective.
