TeleCheck - Headwaters Health Care Centre

Supporting adults ages 55 and older in Dufferin-Caledon, Telecheck is a confidential, no-cost service to help older adults live independently at home through scheduled check-in telephone calls.

With daily operations led by dedicated volunteers and staff, the program provides clients customized connection according to their needs, such as health routine reminders, social connections, navigating the health and community system, and offers both preventative health and emergency responses, when needed.

In addition, TeleCheck clients can benefit from caring social interaction that supports health, and receive companionship and friendship through the program.

Benefits of daily periodic check-in calls:

• Support health routine reminders (e.g. medications, meals, exercise, appointments)
• Provide social connection
• Ensure safety, health, and well-being
• Quick link to emergency response when required, and community resources
• Support to caregivers and individuals living with dementia
• Ease concerns for family

Language Translation

In partnership with the Polycultural Immigrant & Community Services, TeleCheck clients can now receive social care calls in a variety of languages. The addition of the language support feature is made possible with the partnership and support of Polycultural Immigrant & Community Services, a charitable, not-for-profit, community-based agency that provides support and services for seniors, newcomers, refugees, and immigrants in Orangeville and across the Greater Toronto Area.
