The Evanston Police Department has launched the “R.U.O.K.” (Are You Okay?) program, a proactive initiative aimed at ensuring the well-being of seniors living alone in Evanston. In collaboration with the Evanston Fire Department, this program seeks to provide regular check-ins and assistance to seniors who may be in need.

How the program works
Weekly Check-Ins: Seniors who sign up for the program will receive a weekly phone call from a Police Department representative.

Emergency Assistance: If, during a phone call, a senior indicates that they are not okay and require assistance, a trained Evanston Police Department representative will assess the situation. If emergency services are deemed necessary, the Evanston Fire Department will be dispatched to the location.

Access to Social Services: Beyond emergency situations, the program also offers assistance in connecting seniors with social services. The Department's Community Relations Unit will facilitate appropriate referrals.

How to sign up
Sign up packets are available in-person and can be submitted at the following locations:

Levy Senior Center, 300 Dodge Ave.
Fleetwood Jourdain Community Center, 1655 Foster St.

Seniors may also call 847-866-5020 to request to participate.
