Senior Safety Programs
A Seniors Safety Program is a community-based program that is operated and managed by a nonprofit organization. It addresses the safety concerns of seniors by:
- promoting awareness about senior abuse prevention, crime prevention, and safety and health issues
- enhancing communication between seniors and the police
- providing information, educational sessions, and referral services to seniors
- offering direct contact with seniors through the seniors safety coordinator
The day-to-day operation of the program is the job of the seniors safety coordinator usually a paid staff person, but sometimes a volunteer. The coordinator works in close partnership with local police agencies and a large network of local, provincial, and federal partnering agencies. Typically, services are offered to seniors throughout a county in their own homes and at other locations within the community.
