The Lawrence County Senior Center is reaching out to residents of Lawrence County to highlight an important resource: the Telephone Reassurance Service. This valuable program is designed to provide scheduled phone calls, occurring at least three times a week, to elderly individuals who live alone. The primary goal of these calls is to ensure that seniors are safe and healthy, checking in to confirm that they have not experienced any falls or health issues.
This service is specifically tailored for seniors aged 60 and above who reside independently. By facilitating regular communication, the program aims to foster connections within the community, helping to alleviate feelings of loneliness and isolation that many seniors may experience. To enhance safety, it is recommended that emergency contact names and phone numbers be kept on file, ensuring that help can be reached if a senior does not respond to a call.
For those interested in learning more about this supportive initiative, the Senior Center encourages you to reach out by calling 931-762-9259.
