Are you OK?

Are You OK?

The Are You OK? program offers comfort, security, and autonomy for senior citizens, the disabled and anyone who may lack a support system. The program is a free service and all participants need is a home telephone to receive daily automated calls.

Participants receive calls between 6am and noon, 7 days a week, at a time that is right for them. A recorded voice asks “Are You OK?” The participant may answer ‘yes’ and hang up. If there is a problem, the participant should respond ‘no’ and the Communications Officer will determine the problem and take appropriate action.

If there is no response or the line is busy, the computer will automatically call back. If there is still no response, the Communications Officer will call a designated friend or family member. If needed, the Communications Officer will ask the local police to check a person’s home.

If a participant will be away for an extended period of time or just for a day, he or she can call the 24-hour number 1-800-622-4300 and alert the Are You OK office to those plans.
