Additional Information
R.U.O.K. (Are you O.K.?) Is it really that great?
"Leonie Desrochers, 86, thinks so! She fell and broke her hip one October night. It was late, dark and she was alone. But, when she did not answer her routine telephone call, Sheriff’s Deputies arrived, found her on the floor, and immediately called rescue to get her to the hospital.
The R.U.O.K. program also helped save the life of Farrell Green, who passed out in the hallway of his home. Consequently, he missed his daily call from the Sheriff’s Office. The operator was then alerted that Farrell had not answered his phone, so she sent someone to check on him. Luckily, help arrived! His pacemaker had malfunctioned and he would not have survived the night.
The target group for R.U.O.K. is older, at-risk adults. However, with the computer program’s capability to call up to 120 people per hour, R.U.O.K. was expanded to serve disabled seniors living alone, care-giving seniors, at-risk seniors, and homebound individuals of any age. Those seniors who are disabled or forced to live alone can feel a sense of security and caring, knowing that daily calls will be made to confirm that, “all is well.”
This is how the R.U.O.K. program works: A computerized system makes calls to subscribers of the program on a daily basis. Sheriff’s personnel receive an emergency ALERT if the homebound person does not answer the daily call. The dispatcher then notifies appropriate law enforcement officers of a possible emergency. An officer will then make contact with the key holder or next of kin so that a visit can be made to the subscriber’s home, if necessary, or obtain an explanation as to why the subscriber did not answer the call.
Service agencies, families, and friends view the R.U.O.K. program as an additional support system for their clients and loved ones. This automated calling system is a positive addition to area police, fire, and emergency dispatch centers, as well. R.U.O.K. is not a new program. It is used across the nation in hundreds of communities--quite successfully.
If you would like more information about this valuable cost-free program, I urge you to call the Sheriff’s Community Services Division at 847-377-4211.
R.U.O.K. is not intended to replace other emergency services. When necessary, call “911” the 24-hour emergency service number. "
