Description:
Provides 911 capable cell phones for seniors to use when they are away from their homes.
Donated phones are provided to seniors for use when they are away from their homes to allow better access to emergency services.
These phones do not have the enhanced 911 capability so callers must be able to speak clearly to relay their emergency situation or need.
There is no cost to receive a phone, but participants must go through a training on the use, capabilities and limitations of the phones and sign a release waiver stating they understand and agree that the agency and the county cannot be held responsible for the phone use, service availability, function, etc.
Please contact Ruth at the Aging & Disability Resource Center - Grant to learn more about this program.
