Red Cross: A call a day to check you're OK

Red Cross is helping older people remain connected with their community with a free daily phone call, to check on their safety and wellbeing. The service enables older people to have the confidence to live in their own home knowing help is not far away in an emergency. It also provides a sense of security for family and friends.

This community program is run through a network of volunteers who make a daily morning phone call to socially isolated, medically dependent and older people living alone. If the phone call is not answered Red Cross initiates an emergency procedure and arranges assistance if required.
