In partnership with the Polycultural Immigrant & Community Services, TeleCheck clients can now receive social care calls in a variety of languages.
This initiative underscores a shared commitment to diversity, equity, inclusivity, and accessibility needs of the Dufferin-Caledon community.
TeleCheck is a free and confidential telephone check-in service to support adults 55+ independently living at home, and connects clients with vital community health services, or a friendly social connection.
The addition of the language support feature is made possible with the partnership and support of Polycultural Immigrant & Community Services, a charitable, not-for-profit, community-based agency that provides support and services for seniors, newcomers, refugees, and immigrants in Orangeville and across the Greater Toronto Area.
The new collaboration ensures that TeleCheck services now reflect linguistic diversity by breaking down language barriers, ensuring that older adults from various cultural backgrounds feel comfortable and understood in the following languages:
- Bengali
- Hindi
- Portuguese
- Urdu
- Yoruba
