May is held to present a safety program,
entertainment and an opportunity to visit
with more than 65 vendors that provide
services for older adults.
Seniors in Touch
Seniors aged 60 and older who live alone
and do not have family members
living within a 60-mile radius may have a
representative of the Chesterfield County
Sheriff’s Office call or visit them weekly.
Telephone Reassurance
Disabled adults and seniors who live
alone or feel isolated may sign up to
have volunteers from the Aging &
Disability Services Office call them
daily or weekly to verify their wellbeing.
Yellow Dot Program
In the event of an accident, a YellowDot
sticker on the rear window of a vehicle
informs first responders that the glove
compartment contains important medical information about the driver.
