I think SUMTER County portion of The Villages
has a service thru the Sheriff Dept.

You sign up for this service with the Sheriff Dept, by telephone
or in person at Sheriff Station .

How it works.

The person calls a certain phone number everyday.
It is called a Daily well-being check-in.
...IF they do not call by 3 PM ....
...a deputy is dispatched to check on the person at their home.

There are private companies which offer the
"I've fallen and I can't get up" bracelets and necklaces.

Of course if you really care about the person......
.....you will ALSO pay for them to have pendant/bracelet to wear...

They simply press the button on pendant and help is dispatched,
if necessary.


Additionally,......"The Other Daughter" advertiser
on TOTV has an up close and personal service.

Make the calls and set up ALL of these services...and PAY it for them.
