We Care - Well-Being Program
The “We Care – Well-Being Program” is new to Fripp Island, yet it has roots going back generations. The origins of this program are rooted in being a good neighbor and looking out for one another. The program also allows your Security Officers to get to know you better, and in the event of an emergency, this information will help your Security Team make sure you are safe and can help get you the assistance you may need.
Who could benefit from the “We Care – Well-Being Program”?
- Those who live alone
- Elderly individuals
- Those without a computer/tablet/smartphone/internet
- Individuals with a medical condition or disability that requires special needs or monitoring
-
Your security team can get emergency contact information and physical limitations for those they feel would benefit from this program and enter that into our system. From there, we can put a wellness check plan in place.
We are also asking if homeowners know someone who would be a good candidate and may not have access to the internet; you can obtain a printed copy of the “We Care – Well-Being Program” application or assist individuals in filling it out online here. A pro-active neighbor-to-neighbor campaign to get those in need to join the program.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. We hope you’re comforted knowing you have a good neighbor with Fripp Island Security.
