Do you know someone who needs to receive a daily reassuring phone call? Perhaps you or someone you know would benefit from Telephone Reassurance. Telephone Reassurance is a free service for adults, age 60 and over. Our volunteers make daily calls to these individuals, providing them a sense of security and safety.
The purpose of the program is to ensure that older adults can maintain their sense of well being while remaining in their community. Many times, Telephone Reassurance can prevent older adults from requiring more costly services or institutional placement. One simple phone call can help give a client peace of mind knowing that a volunteer will be checking in with them at the same time each day.
Who We Serve
To qualify, recipients must live alone or with someone who is incapacitated. Recipients must agree to receive calls at a pre-determined time, prior to noon, from a volunteer or program staff. In 2007, 186 older adults received Telephone Reassurance calls from our volunteers. Our service is a vital component in helping older adults remain safe and secure in their homes.
