Do You Have a ‘Safety Net’?

Mary Ornberg

Do you live alone or are a caregiver for your spouse/partner? You need to have a “Safety Net.” The program involves a Home Aloner who wishes to feel secure by checking in with a volunteer Safety Net person daily or twice daily. If the Safety Net person doesn’t receive the expected contact, they will follow specific procedures, including attempting to reach the individual and, if necessary, physically checking on them at their home using provided access information.

To learn more about this program, interested individuals are encouraged to attend an informational meeting. Details about these meetings, including dates, times, and locations, will be communicated through HOA daily emails. For additional information or to register for the program, individuals can contact Mary Ornberg at 469-878-0803 or Joyce Frey at 817-689-5398.

This Safety Net program is a thoughtful way to ensure the safety and well-being of people living alone, providing them with an added layer of security and support through regular check-ins and assistance protocols in case of unexpected situations.
