NEWBURY — The Newbury Police Department and Newbury Council on Aging are teaming up to ensure that senior residents who live alone feel safe in their homes.
The Department and Council have launched “Good Morning Newbury,” a contact program that connects seniors with department staff each day, reducing isolation and allowing first responders to react quickly in an emergency.
The Full Release is available here:
“We hope this program will provide peace of mind to our seniors and their loved ones,” Chief Patricia A. Fisher said. “In the case of an emergency, we will be able to respond more quickly when every minute counts. I encourage all seniors living alone to sign up. We’re here to help.”
Residents ages 65 years or older who live alone may register through the Council on Aging at 12 Kent Way, Byfield, or by visiting or contacting the Newbury Police Department at 7 Morgan Ave., 978-462-4440, ext. 0.
For those seeking additional information on the program, Deputy Chief Wojtkowski is overseeing the program and can be reached at a.wojtkowski@newburypolice.com or by phone at 978-462-4440 extension 124.
