About Lorna McEachern

CareToCall CareToCall is a Virtual Assisted Living Service allowing users to create a daily circle of care amongst their family and friends. It’s a pro-active way to help people look after one other, allowing seniors to age in place and remain independent as long as possible. Users subscribe online, completing a private profile listing where, when and how often they would like to receive a personally recorded reminder to take their medication, a heads up regarding an upcoming appointment, or a reassurance (just checking in) phone call. If no one answers the phone (or if the call goes to voice mail or an answering service), the call is automatically forwarded to the person at the top of the CareToCall client’s prioritized list of family and friends. When a loved one is not answering their phone, they may need help. Rather than staying out of contact when they could be needed, family and friends can follow up in person right away or contact a trusted neighbor, or the front desk of their loved one’s retirement community, and ask someone to check up on them. By putting this private network of caregivers in place, CareToCall provides our clients the freedom and comfort of regular communication they can count on every day, or multiple times a day (for medication reminders), allowing them to remain independent. And family members rest easy knowing there is a regular communication schedule in place, ensuring they keep in touch with their loved one, even on the busiest of days. The CareToCall system is user friendly and completely customizable, the perfect fit for care facilities looking for a cost effective (no hardware required) service that provides their residents in independent living arrangements - and those who care about them - an added element of safety and well being.
