Seniors: Are You Okay?

Do you live alone and sometimes worry that if you become sick or need help that no one would know? The Tioga Opportunities, Inc. Department of Aging Services offers the "Are You Okay?" Program to give you peace of mind.

You will receive a recorded voice call every morning. If you do not answer your ringing telephone at the time you have chosen to receive your daily call, the computer will call back. If you do not answer the second call, the closest emergency personnel will be dispatched. Note that this program cannot work properly if you have an answering machine connected to your phone.

This service is free, easy, and can take away some of the worry of living alone. For more information, call Tioga Opportunities' Department of Aging Services at 687-4120.
