Choose someone who is likely to know where you are or lives nearby and will be able to come and visit you if we are unable to contact you.

You decide on one or more times to suit you. Most people choose a time in the morning after they have got up and some people have an evening time too.

Anytime before your chosen cut-off time.

“OKEachDay has been so useful. I now get helpful reminders about my doctor appointments and when I need to take my medicine. I’m not sure what I’d do without it now.”
“I’ve been using service for several years now and it really has given me back my confidence. Your team are always helpful and friendly, which makes all the difference.”
"The reminder service is great. If I need to set a reminder for a doctors appointment or an early morning wake up call when I’m going on holiday, I just let the team there know and I get a call on the day. More importantly, I’ve set it to remind myself of my grandson’s birthday so I always remember to send a card"
"Just a short note to say thanks for all your help this year. It’s nice to know you are all there for me."
