For teams working with residents in sheltered accommodation, day-to-day pressures are mounting. Increasing caseloads, stretched resources, and complex multi-agency coordination make it harder than ever to give each case the attention it deserves. This creates significant risks, including delayed responses, missed safeguarding concerns, and increased strain on both staff and residents.
Key challenges officers face every day include:
- Rising caseloads that stretch teams thin, risking vulnerable residents being overlooked or delayed in getting help.
- Time-consuming manual welfare checks that reduce capacity for personalised support and contribute to staff burnout.
- Lack of timely data, causing early warning signs to go unnoticed and increasing the likelihood of avoidable crises.
- Inconsistent record-keeping that threatens compliance, risking regulatory penalties and undermining trust with residents and partners.
Daily welfare check-ins are vital for supporting vulnerable residents, but managing them manually can drain resources and limit personalised support. At the same time, residents need these check-ins to feel personal and respectful - not just automated tasks.
Voicescape Wellbeing bridges this gap by automating routine check-ins while maintaining a proactive, tailored approach. This frees up staff to focus on those who need the most support, improves resident engagement, and ensures timely, effective support.
Let’s explore how Voicescape Wellbeing can help your teams deliver better welfare checks and see how Thirteen Group transformed support for sheltered accommodation residents using the solution - combining efficiency with empathy to achieve stronger outcomes for all.
How Voicescape Wellbeing Works
Voicescape Wellbeing automates daily welfare check-ins by reaching out to residents via voice call or SMS - based on their preferred method and schedule. Residents respond easily to confirm they are well or request assistance if needed. If a resident doesn’t respond or signals they need help, the system instantly alerts frontline staff to prioritise that case. This real-time triage allows your team to efficiently separate those who are fine from those needing support, ensuring personalised support is focused where it matters most.
The benefits…
Personalised, Resident-Centred Communication
Messages are crafted using behavioural science insights to resonate with each resident - whether via voice or SMS - ensuring communication resonates with each and every recipient. This approach helps residents feel understood and valued, fostering trust without the fatigue of generic or intrusive contact.
Efficiency that Strengthens Human Intervention - Not Replaces It
With limited time and rising caseloads, it’s not always easy to pinpoint who needs the most support - or to give them the depth of support they truly deserve. By automatically triaging daily check-in responses, Voicescape Wellbeing enables officers to instantly distinguish between residents who are doing fine and don't need manual contact, and those who may need extra support.
Furthermore, as Voicescape Wellbeing automates daily welfare check communications, it removes the need to call every resident individually, reserving manual outreach for those who don't respond or indicate they need help. This frees up valuable time, energy and resources, enabling staff to deliver truly personal, impactful support where it's needed.
Empowering Residents with Choice and Independence
Residents control how and when they receive welfare check-ins and can proactively request support at any time. This flexibility promotes independence and dignity, allowing residents to engage on their own terms and reducing frustration with waiting or missed calls.

How Voicescape Wellbeing Helped Thirteen Group Save a Resident’s Life The Challenge: Supporting vulnerable residents across 2,000+ homes was resource-heavy and inefficient. Manual welfare checks struggled to consistently reach those most in need, causing delays and gaps in support. With limited staff and rising demand, a scalable, effective, and personalised solution was urgently needed. Voicescape’s Wellbeing solution: Since implementing Voicescape, Thirteen has transformed welfare checks into a scalable, efficient process. Residents now self-report daily, allowing the system to automatically flag those needing support. This shift has freed staff to provide personalised support where it matters most, ensuring timely help and better outcomes for vulnerable residents. Real impact:
