SENIOR WELLNESS PROGRAMS & SERVICES
(R-U-OK) Telephone Reassurance Program
HOCKING COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE “ARE YOU O.K?” (R-U-OK) TELEPHONE REASSURANCE
PROGRAM AND PROJECT LIFESAVER.
“Are you OK?” provides safety and security for elderly people living alone. Each
morning, 365 days a year, an officer from the Hocking County Sheriff’s Office
places a phone call to check on the well-being of people who have signed up
for the program.
If the subscriber is okay, he or she simply hangs up the telephone after hearing the pre-recorded
message. If the subscriber does not answer or if the telephone line is busy, two more attempts
are made before the computer generates an “alert” to sheriff’s office personnel who then notifies a
person of the subscribers choice. The “alert” provides officers with a printout of the subscriber’s
name and address, medical history, doctor, emergency contact person, next-of-kin and other
pertinent information collected from the subscriber when they signed up for the program.
R-U-OK is not designed to be a lifesaver, although there have been instances where it played an
important part and did save the life of the subscriber. Its main purpose is to add an additional
sense of security to the subscriber, family members and friends of the subscriber, using the
program as an additional support system when they are unable to maintain consistent contact with
the subscriber. REGISTRATION FOR (R-U-OK) IS AVAILABLE AT THE SENIOR CENTER

THURSDAY, JULY 19 @ 1:00 pm LIVING DAY TO DAY WITH HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE,
Presented by: Danielle Arnette, Wellness Coordinator, Hocking Valley Community Hospital
There's a common misconception that people with high blood pressure, also called HBP or
hypertension, will experience symptoms such as nervousness, sweating, difficulty sleeping or facial
flushing. The truth is that HBP is largely a symptomless condition. If you ignore your blood
pressure because you think symptoms will alert you to the problem, you are taking a dangerous
chance with your life. Everybody needs to know their blood pressure numbers, and everyone needs
to prevent high blood pressure from developing.
