"ARE YOU O.K." Program

The Town of Fallsburg Police Department truly understands the slogan "To Serve and Protect." They have just begun the "ARE YOU O.K." Program throughout our community. The program will consist of monthly well-being checks on elderly or homebound residents and will help develop support connections for these individuals. The intent is to develop a database with relevant contact information and special needs notations with the consent of the participants. To be included, the person must be a Town of Fallsburg resident, and be 65 years old or older, and in poor health, or be homebound. With the current bitter, bitter cold temperatures, I, for one, am especially glad this project is being initiated. This concept was inspired by the tragedy at the Grandview Palace, when it was realised that there are many elderly citizens in our community who were in need of critcal services and contact resources.
