Pop-in Visits

If you're looking for someone to check on you or your loved one at lunchtime, our Pop-in Visits might be just what you are looking for!

About the service

Pop-in Visits are five minute lunchtime visits, which can help you to feel safer in your home and provide you with the reassurance that someone will check in on you on the days you want. This service is currently only available in Hertfordshire. Our Pop-in Visits can include the following:

  • Regular contact with a friendly face
  • Making sure you are okay
  • Making you a drink
  • Contacting someone on your behalf if you are not feeling yourself
  • Checking on something specific, such as making sure that you are wearing your community alarm pendant
  • Medication Prompts, if required. Click here to find out more about Medication Prompts

Visits are made between 11.30am and 2pm every day.

We cannot give you an exact time, but generally we will be with you around the same time each day.

We can come to your house, anywhere in Hertfordshire, 365 days a year.

You can have a visit on as many days as you like, as a one-off, or temporarily (for example, while your carer us away, or if you are recovering from an illness or injury) – just let us know.
