Friendly Visiting & Telephone Reassurance
Promoting independence, safety and social engagement, a visit or phone call away
Helping Hands recognizes how important it is for our clients to maintain their independence and enjoy social one-on-one connections. Friendly, social visits in our client’s home and/or friendly conversation over the telephone are available to promote one-on-one social connectivity to our community members.
Telephone Reassurance is available, to ensure our clients’ safety on a daily basis. A regular schedule for contact provides our clients direct reassurance, in addition to friendly conversation over the telephone.
