Well-being Check

Our Wellbeing check is a short pop in visit to make sure you, or your loved ones are safe and feeling well. We do not provide personal care during well-being checks. Your visiting support worker will be trained and able to deal with any problems that may arise, we will of course contact your nominated person to let them know if there is a problem.

These visits re-assure both the person receiving the visit and their family. We make maximum use of the time for the duration of the visit (10 minutes on site). We will have a chat, establish everything is well and undertake any minor tasks within permitted time. We do insist enough time is given for conversation and communication. This may be the only social interaction the person has that day and how we confirm they are well and problem free.

Examples of minor tasks are:  

• switching fires and heating on or off
• making a hot drink
• Drawing / opening the curtains
• Checking that the person has eaten and is hydrated

Your staff Wellbeing visits are made between 10:00am in the morning and 4:00 in the afternoon.
