Wellness Checks

A wellness check is a short, friendly visit to see how someone is doing at home and whether things look in order. It is a check-in, not a medical assessment. Independent Providers on Safety Net Home Care set their own rates and decide which requests to accept.

These are non-medical support services. Safety Net Home Care is a platform, not a care provider. In an emergency, call 911.

What does a visit usually include?

Saying hello and asking how the person is feeling today
Checking that the home feels comfortable and safe, such as clear walkways and working lights
Making sure food and drinks are within reach
Asking if anything is needed
Sharing a short update with the family, if the person agrees

Who is it for?

Wellness checks suit people who live alone and want regular contact, and families who live far away and want to know that someone has visited.

What is not included?

It does not include health monitoring, taking vital signs, medical assessment or advice, or emergency response. A visit is not a substitute for an emergency alert system. If someone is in danger or needs urgent medical help, call 911.

What does it cost?

Each Independent Provider sets their own hourly rate, so prices vary. When you book, you see the Independent Provider's rate and the Safety Net Home Care platform fee as two separate lines before you pay. Your card is held when you send a request, and it is charged only if the Independent Provider accepts.

How do I arrange it?

Browse Independent Provider profiles in the directory, or answer a few questions in Find Care.
Choose who to contact and send a booking request for the date and time you want.
The Independent Provider accepts, declines or suggests another time. They choose freely.
Once they accept, you can message them to agree the details before the visit.
