Example questions
How are you feeling today?
Starting with an open-ended question will help begin the conversation and engage your loved one.
Is there anything you would like to discuss?
Letting them lead the conversation gives the assurance that this call is all about them.
What have you been up to since we last talked?
For weekly check-ins, this allows your loved one to share what has happened since our last conversation.
Have you been engaging in any activities like cooking?
Talking about ones' interests can keep them excited and engaged.
Is there anything you would like me to share with your care team?
Many of Phoning Homes call recipients may not be in constant communication with their care team and why we are there to support them. A loved one we call may ask us to relay additional information to the care team in our weekly e-mail updates.
What are your plans for today / tomorrow? Would you like any suggestions?
A Phoning Homes call recipient may be quite isolated, especially during this time in our lives. Our Care Callers will suggest various activities catered to them and can talk through upcoming plans.
