Staying Connected

The Importance of Telephone Assurance for Seniors

No one should feel alone. For many seniors, social isolation is a daily challenge, leading to feelings of loneliness and disconnection. That’s where our Telephone Check Program comes in—providing friendly, reassuring calls to seniors who need a caring voice and a sense of connection.

What is the Telephone Check Program?

Our Telephone Check Program is a simple yet impactful way to help seniors feel supported. Volunteers and staff make regular calls to participants, offering:

Daily check-ins to ensure well-being

A friendly voice to brighten the day

Peace of mind for seniors and their loved ones

A short phone call can make all the difference, offering not just companionship but also a safety check for those who may be living alone.

Why Do Telephone Checks Matter?

Did you know that more than 30% of seniors experience loneliness? Regular phone calls can provide much-needed human connection and reassurance.

For family members, this service brings peace of mind, knowing that their loved ones are being looked after, even from a distance. Whether it’s a quick hello, a friendly chat, or a check-in to ensure everything is okay, these calls help seniors feel valued and cared for.

Real Impact: What Our Participants Say

Our participants tell us time and again how much they appreciate these calls:

“I look forward to these calls every day. It’s nice to know someone cares.” – SCS Telephone Check Participant

This program isn’t just about making phone calls—it’s about building connections, reducing loneliness, and providing reassurance to those who need it most.
