Abstract
When we started our Call&Check journey of discovery in 2012, we wanted to provide a new service that would help our ageing communities. We are continuing to grow and develop the concept we feel the word is certainly spreading. All countries have a postal operator and a rapidly ageing demography, which are the two main ingredients you need to develop a Call&Check service, along with a will to do it. What we do know is that Call&Check works not only for the elders in our communities but for many others who need that little extra support to live at home.
