SENIOR REASSURANCE PROGRAM
James Bay New Horizons’ Senior Reassurance Program is a no charge community service providing a familiar voice to Victoria residents who live at home alone. There is no charge for this service which is offered through James Bay New Horizons. Seniors on the Reassurance list receive a phone call from a volunteer each weekday morning at a specific time, to ensure that the he or she is safe and well. Should a member not respond to the call, our volunteer will call each of the contacts until the person’s well-being is confirmed. A confidential record is kept of the seniors’ major health concerns and day to day well-being. Both Short-term and Long-term options are available. As the Senior Reassurance Program is generously funded entirely by donations, we are able to offer this service free of charge. It’s easy to sign up for this Program, either by calling 250.386.4432 or speaking with a Staff Member.
Arrangements will be made for a short intake interview to record essential health and contact information.
