The HowRU™ Program is a free service that provides a daily wellness call to subscribers to ensure that they are well. If no one answers the call, a second call will be made 15 minutes later.

If the subscriber does not answer the second call, the emergency contacts designated by the subscriber are contacted for follow up. Should the emergency contacts not answer; a monitor will call 3-1-1 to send emergency responders to perform a welfare check on the subscriber.

This year the HowRU™ program received endorsements from Henderson and North Las Vegas fire and police chiefs. HowRU™ provides peace of mind to seniors and their families.

The Foundation provides additional limited free services to seniors to help make life a little bit easier. Durable medical equipment such as canes, walkers, wheelchairs, and hospital beds are available for pick up or delivery. There are transportation services for medical appointments or the grocery store, and home maintenance services such as changing light bulbs or air filters.
