Well-being Check Services for Peace of Mind

At All About You, we understand that when you can’t be there yourself, knowing someone is checking in can make all the difference. Our Well-being Check service offers quick, reassuring visits from a friendly, familiar face—providing comfort to both the person at home and their loved ones.

Whether you live nearby or far away, our elderly welfare checks give families the confidence that their loved one is safe, well, and cared for.

What is a Well-being Check?

Our Well-being Check is a short, scheduled visit focused on reassurance and support. These visits aren’t just a courtesy call—they are meaningful interactions carried out by trained carers who are experienced in spotting potential concerns and offering a helping hand.

Each elderly welfare check includes:

Check medication has been taken

Switching fires, heating and lights on or off

Making a hot drink

Drawing / opening the curtains

Checking that the person has eaten and is hydrated

Supporting Independent Living with Confidence

These light-touch, professional visits are ideal for individuals who may not need full-time care but benefit from regular check-ins. Our goal is to promote independence while making sure everything is as it should be—providing peace of mind and building trusted relationships over time.

With our elderly welfare checks we’re quick to act if something isn’t right. Should any concerns arise during a visit, our carer will notify the nominated family member or contact immediately, following our safeguarding and reporting protocols.
