I'm OK program

 We are looking for more residents to keep our I'm OK volunteers busy!

This program was brought to us years ago by the Red Cross. It is FREE and is to help keep you safe and give your family peace of mind in knowing that you are ok, everyday, and that someone is checking on you daily.
  • It's simple, call Donna in the Rental Office 610-264-5652 for an application packet and door placard.
  • Zephyr Residents put the I'm OK placard on your door knob by 9 or 10 am daily and by 10:30 or 11am the program monitor (usually a person on your floor or a building volunteer) has turned it around for you to take in and repeat the process the next day.
  • Strawberry Patch Residents have a daily 9 or 10 am phone call monitor, instead of door placards as their unit doors are outside. Many residents like this at Strawberry Patch as the monitor is the only person they talk to daily.
  • Zephyr residents if for any reason your placard is not on your door knob the monitor will knock on your door, then call you and then call the Rental Office for a Staff member (Monday to Friday when the Rental Office is open) to open your door to check on you.
  •  Zephyr Residents if it is a weekend/holiday your emergency contact person will be called to check on you and make sure you are ok.
  •  Strawberry Patch Residents if you don't answer your phone on the first call you will be called at 15 minute intervals, then the Rental Office is called Monday to Friday or your emergency contact is called on weekends and holidays.
This system works and has gotten MANY residents the help they needed in a timely manner. So I urge you all to sign up for this FREE service.
