Telecheck Program For Seniors

You are heard

The TeleCheck Program for Seniors focuses on servicing individuals aged over 55 residing in the Central West LHIN.  We offer emotional support, regular safety check-ins, and medication reminders. By providing companionship, we help clients cope with feelings of isolation and contribute to their sense of community.

Touching Base Program

We Have Got You

The Touching Base Program is a predominantly short term support program for individuals over 16 who live in Mississauga, Brampton, Caledon and surrounding areas.
Volunteers provide registered participants with medication reminders, safety check-ins, or emotional support through friendly social calls.
