Daily wellbeing checks

In addition to our services being used by many individuals with mental health issues and learning disabilities, there are some specific medical conditions where a daily check is especially valuable.  In each case, we aim to help individuals retain their independence.

Our daily monitoring also helps detect if needs are changing. Thus, if a condition deteriorates this is then a prompt to consider additional support requirements.

The kinds of conditions where our services can provide major support through our daily wellbeing checks include:

Alzheimer’s and other Dementias – if a person becomes more forgetful or disorientated an alarm may become less useful if he/she forgets to wear one, or indeed forgets to press one when required.  While those more independent can press the OKEachDay button, it is absolutely fine if anyone forgets – we will just call them to check on their wellbeing.

Diabetes – controlling insulin levels is critical to managing the condition and is sometimes is difficult to achieve. There is always the risk of a diabetic coma, which is a greater concern for those who live on their own.  A daily check (once, or more than once a day) provides reassurance that action will be taken if there is no response.

Epilepsy – most seizures do not have serious consequences, however there is a risk of injury or a loss of consciousness in some cases.  As with other conditions, this is potentially more serious for someone who lives on their own.

Although not a specific medical condition, frailty does bring increasing health risk, most notably a risk of falling.  Knowing there is a ‘safety net’ of daily contact helps individuals stay in their home for longer.

support is provided in the following ways:

• Provides daily confirmation everything is fine and an escalation process if there is no contact.
• The system proactively identifies if there is a problem – not relying on ‘no news is good news’.
• Detects changing needs over time, which in turn helps identify additional needs. For a housing provider, we can highlight if a health issue is improving or deteriorating.
• We provide birthday cards and Christmas cards to our customers to reinforce our support and show we care.
