Operation Reassurance from Abington-Jefferson Health is a  “Call-In” Program for all residents of Montgomery, Bucks and parts of Philadelphia Counties, age 60 and older.

There may be times when seniors who live on their own feel the need and would take comfort in a morning check-in call. Through Operation Reassurance, older adults speak daily with a trained staff member to make sure that they are safe and sound.

This program enables seniors living in Montgomery, Bucks and parts of Philadelphia counties to live independently and feel confident and secure. That may also reassure families and friends who live at a distance.
