Introducing A New Service... Wellness Calls
If you or a loved one who lives in Pennsylvania suffers from isolation or could just use a friendly voice to talk to, we may have a solution!
Wellness Calls is a new service to help those who are alone or isolated stay connected, stay safe and live more independently.
We are currently offering two types of Wellness Call Plans:
- Check-In Calls: These are brief calls to touch base with the client to make sure that they are ok, ensure that they are comfortable completing their basic daily living activities such as taking their medications, proper nutrition, etc. and assess the client’s mood and any concerns for safety in their home.
- Conversational Calls: These are longer calls. This allows the client to discuss not only items addressed by check-in calls, but also gives them time to have a more in-depth conversation about topics of their choice such as family, hobbies, current events, etc. These calls are designed to help engage individuals and give them a sense of connection and someone to talk to. This is a also a great option for family members who have a loved one that could use a periodic check-in or social stimulation. We will provide the contact person a report of our conversations so that he/she knows what has been discussed.

“Before Wellness Calls, I didn't have that regular check-in to see how I was doing with my health and well-being in general. Now after getting them for this time period, I feel like I have that ease of someone checking in on me personally to see how things are going plus to assist with some resources as needed or various suggestions, etc. Jeff has a good grasp on understanding my situation with my physical ailments, disabilities and living situation and works with me to further help with any issues or even to talk about my hobbies and likes and dislikes to take my mind off my disabilities and health issues. He's a great person and recommend him for anyone looking to use this resource.”
