Page Title ECHO, which stands for Elderly Call Help Organization, is a telephone reassurance program.
Volunteers call frail senior citizens during weekday mornings to see that they are safe and well.
The volunteers then call the ECHO Coordinator to report on the participants' well-being. The callers also remind frail elderly to take prescribed medication, and provide much-appreciated personal contact with seniors who are socially isolated. In addition, ECHO provides access to community services, emergency follow-up, and monitoring of problems.
