Up and Running and Listening!

January 7th, 2010

woman on phoneTalking, Listening and Caring.  That’s what trained, compassionate volunteers will do when they call older adults who live alone in Benzie County.   The goal of the program is to check on the senior’s safety and welfare and to provide much-needed social contact.  The call will be placed at an arranged time each weekday.   TeleCare staff and volunteers view the well-being of these seniors as their number one priority.  When health or safety concerns are identified, they are referred to an appropriate family member, Benzie Home Health Care staff or other agencies.  If a participant does not answer the phone after several attempts have been made to reach them, a series of steps will follow to assure their safety and well-being.

TeleCare is a free community service of Benzie Home Health Care and will begin in early January.  Applicants will complete a brief form, listing information such as their emergency contacts. To enroll or learn more, call 231-882-5031.
