Senior Care and
Safety Check
A free program for seniors and homebound persons
 Senior Care and Safety Check is a
telephone reassurance program. Here's how it works........
You or a loved one
simply fills out a registration form containing information about you, when you
would like to be called, loved ones or neighbors that you would want to respond
if an emergency existed (preferably someone with a key to your residence) and if
you have pets.
Persons registered
in the system are called once a day at, or near, the time that you request. When
you answer the phone, a computerized message from the Sheriff will be played
asking if you are OK or need assistance and asking that you press a
corresponding number on your phones keypad to respond with your answer.
If you respond that
everything is OK, no further action is taken. If you indicate that you need
assistance, the system is put into action. Several things happen simultaneously
at this point.
-
Your 1st Contact Person is notified that you
need assistance and to respond.
-
Your 2nd Contact Person is notified (if #1
was unavailable).
-
Our Dispatchers are notified by phone, email
and printout of the situation and will take action based on whether or not a
contact person was available to respond.
-
Deputies and / or emergency medical
assistance will be dispatched based on the answers that we receive.
With multiple phone
lines and digital technology...... this all takes place within seconds!
