WellCheck Now℠ will call or text you at the same time every day. Once you complete your wellness check in, you are all set. Your family, friends and caretakers will know you are okay!
Living alone can provide a sense of independence and personal freedom. Yet for many seniors, people with disabilities and other singles, it is often accompanied by concerns such as falls, medical emergencies and feelings of loneliness. If you are in good health, these concerns are typically not as much yours as those of family and friends. They worry about you. Perhaps you feel that they shouldn’t, but they do.
You can give them peace of mind with the WellCheck Now℠ check-in service. Once you are signed up, add your family and friends to your CareCircle, set a time for your daily wellness check-in and choose to receive a text message or voice call. To check in, you simply reply to the text message with ‘ok’. For a voice call, you press any key. That’s it. Your family and friends can then stop worrying because they know you’ve been checking in.
Family members, friends, or care providers of seniors who live alone, often worry about their loved ones and struggle to find a balance between providing support while also preserving their independence. The Wellcheck Now℠ daily wellness check call service is often the perfect solution.
If your loved one has been evaluated by a physician as 'at risk of falling' then a wearable Emergency Medical Alert Device (pendant) should be your first choice. Systems like LifeAlert are designed to handle emergencies such as falls, heart attacks, strokes and serious in-home accidents.
A check-in service is not an emergency service. Instead, it is a notification service. It is designed to notify a small group of people if there is a potential problem. It is then up to the group to determine whether or not there is a real problem and if so, the severity.
Generally, we find that a phone-based check-in service (voice or text) is more appropriate for seniors and people with disabilities because phone-based check-in services are so easy to use. With this type of service, your loved one simply responds to a daily phone call or text by pressing a number on their phone, or by sending a brief text reply.
Like the phone-based check-in service, the typical smart phone app is a notification service, rather than an emergency service. However, an app offers many features over and above the simple phone-based check in. While this can be useful to some people, those same features can cause seniors and people with disabilities a great deal of frustration. If that happens, they typically stop using the app and may delete it altogether. Unfortunately, you might never know.
Yes. Independent seniors and people with disabilities who can enter their name and address in a form can setup their own accounts. It is no more difficult than that.
With WellCheck Now℠, absolutely not. Your monthly subscription fee is all you ever pay.
