Are you living alone and feeling you would like more reassurance? Arrange to have a volunteer call or contact you each weekday morning at a prearranged time to help ensure your safety and well-being. If there are any concerns, program staff follow up with your named emergency contact according to the timeline you request.
Services are available to seniors 55+ and adults with physical disabilities, who live north of the Queensway between Preston Street and Blair Road. If you live outside of this area, please check online at https://www.caredove.com/champlaincss to find which agency can help you. This service is available without membership to The Good Companions.
New clients undergo a telephone intake with our agency staff prior to receiving services in the home and in some circumstances; a home visit by our agency staff may be required.
Please note that TAP calls are not offered on weekends or on statutory and civic holidays. If you are looking for a 24-hour emergency response system, please check out the Red Dot Alerts – Formerly Bruyère Helpline: http://www.bruyere.org/en/bruyere-helpline.
