This can be a particular problem for older people, who may be left on their own once family of friends have moved away or passed on, are housebound through illness or lack of mobility. They may worry that they may not be found if they suffer sudden illness or a fall. A friendly phone call with a trained Hato Hone St John Volunteer who cares can make such a difference to your day.
