What are Support Calls?

Support calls are flexible home care visits that focus on companionship, social interaction and light practical support. They are ideal for individuals who may not require everyday care but would benefit from regular contact, assistance with errands, or help getting out of the house. (We also provide support calls for existing clients on top of their everyday calls).

These visits provide both emotional reassurance and practical support, helping individuals feel more connected, confident and supported in their daily lives.

At Assured Care Stockport, our support calls are designed to provide reassurance, social interaction and practical help throughout the day. Whether it’s a friendly visit for a chat, help with shopping, or getting out and about, our carers offer reliable, supportive care that fits around your lifestyle.



What do Support Calls include?

Support calls are tailored to individual preferences and can include a combination of companionship and practical help, such as:

• Friendly conversation and social interaction
• Spending time together at home
• Accompanied outings, such as walks or visits to local cafés
• Help with shopping and collecting essentials
• Support attending appointments
• Visiting friends or family
• Encouragement to stay active and engaged
• Light assistance around the home if needed

Every visit is shaped around what the individual enjoys and finds most helpful.

Support calls can also include help at home and housekeeping, for more information please check out our housekeeping page.

Who may benefit from Support Calls?

Support calls may be suitable for:

• Individuals who live alone
• Older adults experiencing loneliness or isolation
• Those who would benefit from help with shopping or errands
• People who enjoy getting out but need some support to do so
