About This Opportunity
Scheduled calls are made to people in our community, who live alone, such as seniors, or persons with disabilities, who may be experiencing loneliness, isolation, and/or general fear for their safety.
These calls act as safety checks for clients to help eliminate the fears and isolation that some people experience when they live alone.
The result is a sense of independence, well-being and an increased knowledge of home safety.
