Telephone Reassurance

Telephone Reassurance volunteers provide a daily safety call to seniors living alone. If the phone is unanswered, an emergency procedure is implemented to check on the client's safety and to send help if necessary. Safety calls are made Monday through Friday with each call lasting three to five minutes.

For some seniors, your phone call may be the only one they receive all day. Just 5 minutes of your time each day can reduce fear and loneliness in an elderly person living alone. To register a senior for the program, call 713-685-6577.
