The program is a telephone reassurance program designed to assist senior citizens or adults with disabilities in the community.  Many of these senior citizens or adults could be living alone, do not have someone to check in on them regularly, are at risk of sudden illnesses, falls, accidents, and social isolation.  The goal of the program is to assist our seniors and adults so that they may continue living an independent lifestyle, and provide families the security of knowing that their loved one will have a source of daily contact.

 

The program is FREE

 

The "Good Morning" program is simple; each morning between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., the participant calls into the police department.  The phone number for them to call is 207-386-5858. 

A trained dispatcher will take your call.  If you fail to call the dispatcher will, after attempting to contact you, follow the pre-arranged procedures left on your application.  This may include contacting the participant’s backup person or dispatching a police officer to the participant’s residence.  At this point, the officer will make every attempt to verify the participant’s well-being upon arrival.
