You Are Not Alone Community Link Program is a series of programs designed for older adults, disabled persons, or the homebound who live alone. The following is a list of services offered through this program.
Emergency Information Front-Door Bags
The bags contain health information, specific to the individual, as well as emergency contacts and general information about Operation S.A.L.T.. Seniors are encouraged to fill out the Emergency Medical Information Card and leave the bag on the inside of the front door. In the event of a medical emergency, rescuers would easily be able to find the information and expedite treatment. The Emergency Front Door Bags can be picked up from local offices for aging, Full Service Caregiver Resource Centers, Nutrition Programs and the American Red Cross. For more information call: the Department of Senior Programs and Services (914) 813-6300.
Computerized Calling Program

Telephone Reassurance Program
The American Red Cross will coordinate and set up calling centers for volunteers to personally call the shut-in elderly.
