Daily Check-In Calls for Seniors
A friendly phone call from the same real person, on the days and at the time you choose. Someone who remembers what you told them last time, asks how the doctor’s appointment went, and is glad to hear your voice. It works on any phone, landlines included.
This is companionship, not a medical service. Our check-in calls are not a medical alert, not emergency monitoring and not a nurse’s wellness check. If you need someone to respond to a fall or an emergency, keep a medical alert device and call 911.
What a check-in call is like
The phone rings at the time you picked. It is the same companion each time, so after a week or two it feels less like a service and more like a friend checking in. You talk about whatever is on your mind: your morning, the grandkids, the ball game, a recipe, a memory that came back to you. Some calls are ten minutes, some run close to an hour. There is no script and nothing you have to prepare.
A regular call gives a long, quiet day a fixed point to look forward to. That is the whole idea: steady contact with a person who knows you, not a robot reminder and not a call center.
How it works
- Pick how often. Twice a week, three times a week, or every weekday.
- Tell us when to call. At checkout you give the number to call, the best time of day and your time zone.
- Your companion calls you. Calls last up to an hour. Need to move one? Send a text.
- Pause or cancel any time. No contract.

Setting this up for a parent or loved one
Many people set this up for a parent who lives far away. At checkout, choose “this plan is for someone else” and enter your loved one’s name and phone number. You pay and get the receipts; the companion calls them. They do not need to sign up for anything or use a computer.
Who makes the calls
Real people on our team, never AI. Each companion has their own page with a photo and a bio, so you can see who will be calling: Jewel, Gia and Fortune. If a match does not feel right, tell us and we will introduce someone else.
Not ready for a plan?
Our free line, 877-638-1122, is answered by a real person 24 hours a day. Call it whenever you like, as often as you like, no sign-up. The paid plans are for people who want the call to come to them, on a schedule, from the same person.
Many Area Agencies on Aging also run free telephone reassurance programs, usually with volunteers. To find the one near you, call the Eldercare Locator at 800-677-1116.
Questions
Is a daily check-in call the same as a medical alert or wellness monitoring?
No. These are companionship calls. We do not monitor health, respond to emergencies or replace a medical alert system. For an emergency, call 911. For a mental health crisis, call or text 988.
What is a telephone reassurance program?
It is the traditional name for regular phone calls to older adults who live alone, often run by local aging agencies with volunteers. Our check-in calls follow the same idea, with a paid companion who calls at a time you choose.
Can I book calls for my mother or father?
Yes. Choose “this plan is for someone else” at checkout and enter their name and number. They only need to answer the phone.
Does it work on a landline?
Yes. We call any phone number in the U.S., landline or mobile.
How long is each call?
Up to an hour. Some days a short hello is enough; other days you will want to talk longer. Both are fine.
