Does Senior Outreach collaborate with the Village departments on services to seniors?
  • We work with emergency medical services (EMS) staff on teaching evidenced based classes, such as Living Well with Chronic Conditions, Powerful Tools for Caregivers, and Healthy Living with Diabetes. We distribute Files of Life to seniors for EMS to access pertinent medical information in an emergency. We also offer Knox Boxes for access into the home in case of an emergency.
  • Our police department offers the "Are You Okay" program, which serves vulnerable seniors. Our police officer and our case manager partner on visits and interventions for seniors who experience mental health, dementia, and legal risks through ongoing supports.
  • We also plan programming with the E.D. Locke Public Library staff.
  • The other technology that is used is a Care Trak system for adults at risk of wandering due to cognitive or dementia related behaviors.
