The Telephone Reassurance Program is intended to help older adults in the community stay
connected and feel supported in their homes. Weekly calls help participants feel less isolated
and more aware of community support. Callers communicate with their participants once a
week to check in on their well-being, make conversation, and connect them with needed
resources when appropriate/possible.
