Taking the Fear out of Being Alone

   Contacting an elderly person, homebound individual or latch-key child on a daily basis helps reassure their well-being, and give them a feeling of security. The Are You OK? telephone reassurance system eases the concerns of friends and family who may find it difficult to maintain consistent, reliable contact. Parents of a 9-year old child may want to make sure their child is home from school. An 85-year old woman wants the independence of living alone in her home along with the security of being monitored. The Are You OK? system brings a sense of comfort into every subscriber's home.

   Each day at a pre-arranged time, the system automatically make these computerized monitoring calls inexpensively, and without interruption to normal community services.
