The purpose of the Program is to offer a free, opt-in, telephonic service to check on eligible elderly Maryland residents at a regularly scheduled time each day. The Program may be provided by the Department through a private vendor, nonprofit organization, or other entity. The Program may also provide automated telephonic “notifications” in the form of public service announcements related to emergency conditions. These notifications will be separate from the daily call process.
