ROSCOMMON COUNTY – Need a little reassurance that an elderly person living alone is safe?
The Telephone Reassurance Program is available to older adults of Roscommon County through the efforts of the Roscommon County Commission on Aging, Inc (COA) and R.S.V.P. volunteers.
The intent of this program is to offer a daily telephone call to older adults living alone. The purpose of the call is to check on the well-being of the older adult and to provide a friendly contact.
The COA administers and coordinates the program and trains volunteer callers. This is done in response to the mission statement of Roscommon County COA, Inc. which states ‘promote and safeguard the independence and well-being of senior citizens in Roscommon County, Michigan.’
If you are interested in having your name added to our list and start receiving calls, phone Debra Looney at 989-366-0205. Calls are made Monday – Friday from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.
