These residents are called to ensure their well being and the service is provided for community members without family or who need temporary monitoring during times when they have limited mobility. Traditionally, volunteers from the community would call these homebound individuals to check on their well being. Some communities provide additional "friendly chat" as well as the reassurance. More and more communities are providing an automated telephone reassurance program that uses an Autodialer to call the homebound resident and checks to ensure that an individual answers the phone. These systems include an IVR that allows the call recipient to provide a positive response to the phone call to ensure their well being. If the call is not answered, the system can automatically call a family member (if available) or a commutity service organization such as the police or fire department. Most of these community services are free to the resident. Many state and private organizations provide funding for such programs. RUOK RESOURCES
