The following is a list of Maryland private organizations or state agencies that provide grants and funding for community programs. Also, we have listed automated and volunteer based programs that we found in the state of Maryland.
DSC provides a Telephone Reassurance phone system that automatically calls elderly residents ensuring their well-being, allowing them to remain in their homes longer (Aging In Place).
There are many communities that provide telephone reassurance programs (both volunteer based or automatic calling programs). These communities also refer to their programs as "Are You OK?"® and RUOK.*
