Wellness & Security Reassurance
Care Calls Program
SENIOR WELLNESS & SECURITY
Care Calls, Welfare Checks, or Wellness Checks, are requests for police or public safety to visit someone, often a friend, family member, or neighbor, to verify their safety and well-being when they seem unreachable or in potential trouble, such as elderly individuals, those with health issues, or suspected mental health crises.
Being alone and isolated is one of the greatest fears of older adults. The Wellness & Security Check service utilizes the Sheriff Alert System and the Sheriff Alert Team to make regular contact with Senior Citizens or participants by phone and allows older adults to have comfort and security in the knowledge that someone is checking in on them on a regular basis.
- In collaboration with the Sheriff Alert system, we are notifying the public about the availability of this vital service.
Seniors/Participants who sign up for the program will get a call to check on them at a time and frequency mutually agreed upon. If contact is not made after 4 attempts and the emergency contact cannot be reached, the Sheriff Alert Team will coordinate with local Law Enforcement to perform a welfare check.
