This article is maintained as an up-to-date source of key information which can be used to create and update resources that explain and signpost CareCalls. It is designed to help those working within adult social care, NHS and charity organisations to create information packs, intranets, wikis and directories designed to support clients and other staff.
Description
CareCalls helps you remember to do important things and/or checks that you are ok throughout the day, providing independence and peace of mind.
CareCalls works by delivering reminders and check-ins by phone call or text (sms) throughout the day, whenever they are needed. Messages can be personalised to your exact needs and if, you don’t answer, we can inform up to 3 people by text, phone or email to say they should make sure you are ok.
