Senior C.A.R.E. Program

Volunteers are needed for the new Senior C.A.R.E. (Caring About Resident Elderly) Program.

The program, sponsored by the Dade County Sheriff’s Department, is to ensure the safety of the county’s elderly, homebound or medically disabled citizens.

Participants must be willing to invest the time to make a phone call each day to each of the citizens in their care. If the participant is unable to reach their citizen they will contact the Dade County Sheriff’s office and an officer will be sent to the citizen’s residence.

If you or anyone you know needs this service contact the Sheriff’s office at (706) 657-3233. Community members who want to volunteer may obtain an application at the Sheriff's office.
