Senior Call Check Program (Programa de Llamadas para Personas Mayores)

About

Every day a telephone call will be placed to a participant at a regularly scheduled time. These calls will take place between 8:00AM and 4:00PM as close as possible to the one-hour time block pre-selected by the participant. If the participant does not answer their first call, the call will be tried two more times. If those calls go unanswered, additional calls will be made to notify an alternative person who is selected by the participant during program enrollment.

Todos los días se realizará una llamada telefónica a un participante a una hora programada regularmente. Estas llamadas se realizarán entre las 8:00 am y las 4:00 pm lo más cerca posible del bloque de tiempo de una hora preseleccionado por el participante. Si el participante no responde a su primera llamada, la llamada se intentará dos veces más. Si esas llamadas no reciben respuesta, se realizarán llamadas adicionales para notificar a una persona alternativa que sea seleccionada por el participante durante la inscripción al programa. Los servicios solo se ofrecen en inglés.
