Liberty Township believes in a “neighbor helping neighbor” concept and that’s why the “Liberty Township Senior Watch Program” calls for neighborhood volunteers to assist with our programs. The volunteers have signed on to help us help our seniors. Our volunteers have to undergo a thorough background check and receive training in elderly needs and assessments. Through our volunteers, we will strengthen our relationships between neighbors and neighborhoods.
HOW IT WORKS
This application can be obtained at the Township Building, Police, or Fire Departments, or via the Townships website. (www.libertytwp.com).
The application asks for pertinent information and requests the client to choose which program they would like to be enrolled in.
The least intrusive programs are the “Check in” and “Elderly Call” and the most comprehensive is the “Senior Watch”.
Once the application is forwarded to the Police Department, it would be entered in our database and a schedule would be set for the client based on the program selected.
As part of the application process, a “site evaluation” of the client’s home would be completed by a Police or Fire Department official. This evaluation would help determine any safety concerns or any special requirements needed at the residence
