Senior Watch Program will provide a daily health and well
being check for residents enrolled in the program. Participants
are required to call the Worth Police Department Police
Department by 10:00am everyday at (708) 448-3979. The Department
will call participants who fail to call by 10:00am. In the
event that the Department is unable to make contact, a police
officer will knock on the door, if there is no response,
will enter the home. A key must be provided by the participant
or a contact number of a key holder. The police will provide
assistance to the participant as needed due to medical emergencies
or accidents. |

in the program must be Village of Worth residents, (62 or

illness or injury) and fill out an application form. Participants
shall provide the Police Department with a house key, or
a contact number of a key holder. All information provided
is confidential.

In order for the program to run
in an effective manner, it is important for participants
to be consistent in making their daily phone calls. Participants
not home for extended periods due to vacations, hospitals
stays, etc. should notify the police department immediately
of the dates they will be gone and call in again when they
have returned home

| This program is intended to provide
residents living alone with a sense of security and confidence
that assistance is coming should they become incapacitated.
