TeleCheck Seniors Program:
Spectra Community Support Services' TeleCheck program is funded by Central West LHIN and is a free service for anyone in the community over the age of 55.
This program provides:
- Daily or regular phone calls to elderly people who may live alone or with their families/caregivers
- A safety check-in and a re-assurance call to ensure that the person is not in need of any assistance
- Emotional and listening support, medication reminders, information on upcoming social events, and connection with other community resources
- Confidentiality - this is a non-judgmental and client focused service
- Support to family members and caregivers by providing relief to those who have elderly people in their care
The TeleCheck program's objective is to assist seniors in continuing to live at home with dignity, respect and independence, and also support those who are unable to be in regular contact with their parents or the elderly in their lives. Our TeleCheck service is currently provided in English, French, Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu, Spanish and Portuguese.
