About Opportunity
Everyone wants to stay in their own home for as long as possible and care call helps people without friends and relatives do just that. The Health Care Responder Service, provided by British Red Cross, supports those people who are isolated, who lack the relatives and support needed to take part in the care call service. The Health Care Responder Services thus supports the most vulnerable and isolated people in our local communities, helping them stay at home for longer.
