Assure Ring Independence Is The Premier Non-Automated
Preventative Call Service.
Assure Ring Independence is a service
that provides a person to person telephone call
to anyone who requires a check on their well-being
and safety in their home.
The service can be for a short period,
maybe to assist a friend, relative or loved one
who would normally make the call but is temporarily
unavailable for any reason. Or for a much longer
extended period where the need exists.
We can also call the client in order
to remind them to take medications, keep appointments
or any other appropriate reason the client may require.
If the client doesn't answer our call, or expresses
a wish for us to do it, we will then call a third
party or if needed, the appropriate emergency service
to alert them of the situation.
Most telephone monitoring services
deal with the aftermath of a crisis - we are here
to prevent that crisis from happening in the first
place.
Please visit our website for more
information and ways to contact us.
