Free check-in service now available in Clark, Skamania, and Klickitat counties

CDM Caregiving, working with a grant from the Area Agency on Aging & Disabilities of Southwest Washington (AAADSW), now offers a free telephone check-in service for older adults and adults living with disabilities in Clark, Klickitat and Skamania counties.

The new service, RUOK (aRe yoU OK), is designed to check-in daily (or less often as you decide) to see how you are doing. The program is designed to reduce social isolation for vulnerable adults in the community, assist case managers with an additional set of “eyes and ears,” and give peace of mind to family, friends and neighbors.

CDM Caregiving will have current home care supervisory staff doing the calls to participants and they will keep a track of “outside of normal” events to alert a case manager at AAADSW, family, friends, neighbors or emergency services as necessary.

To sign up for the service, you can complete a referral form and return it to CDM Caregiving. You can also use this form to sign up a family member or neighbor. You can find the form online at:https://helpingelders.org/.../281-ruok-referral-form.pdf or call CDM Caregiving at 360-896-9695 or AAADSW’s Aging & Disability Resource Center at 360-694-8144.
