How RU | The Foundation

HowRU™

Have you or someone you know ever wondered: “I'm a senior, living alone. Who will check on me every day?”

The HowRU Program was created to give seniors living alone the assurance and peace of mind of a daily wellness call. It is available to southern Nevada residents who are seniors 50+ or veterans of any age.

The HowRU Program is funded by donations.

Call us at (725) 244-4200 to sign up.

How Does It Work?

STEP 1

Subscriber receives a daily computer generated call at a designated time.

STEP 2

Subscriber press 5 to confirm ok.

If call is unanswered, a second call is made 2 minutes later.

STEP 3

If call is unanswered, a third call is made two minutes later.

STEP 4

If the third call unanswered, Subscribers emergency contact is called.

STEP 5

If no answer, we call 3-1-1- to send emergency responders to perform a welfare check.

Carol, Solera at Anthem

“After becoming a widow, I was afraid to live on my own. What if I fall? Who would find me? The HowRU phone call every morning is like a friend calling to ask, “How are you today? Are you OK?” They call daily, bring a smile to my face and a sense of joy to my life.”

Kay, Sun City Anthem

“When I heard about this program, my first thought was that I really didn’t need it because my family lives here in Henderson and we talk on the phone every day. But my daughters agreed that it would give them greater peace of mind to know I was being monitored every morning. Now, after signing up, I think so too. As a single resident, HowRU is a valuable service for my family and me.”

What is the cost of the HowRU™ program?

There is absolutely no cost for the HowRU™ program. The Foundation Assisting Seniors is able to offer this service to seniors for free due to donations, sponsorships and grants.
Who may use the HowRU™ program?

The program is available to anyone over the age of 50 and veterans of any age residing in southern Nevada.
How can someone get into the property in case of an emergency?

Entry into your home is very important in case of an emergency. The best option is to have a contact that has a key to allow emergency responders enter.
May I suspend my services if I’m out of town?

Yes, you have the flexibility to change or suspend your services by calling (725) 244-4200 or emailing the Foundation Assisting Seniors at FASSCA@coxbusiness.net.
