Oak Ridge Police describe new RSVP volunteer home-visit program for seniors
Summary
ORPD Captain Shanna Newman told the Senior Advisory Board the RSVP program, active about a month, pairs community volunteers with seniors and others for home visits to share resource information and scam warnings; informational brochures were distributed to the board.
ORPD Captain Shanna Newman briefed the Oak Ridge Senior Advisory Board on a new RSVP volunteer home-visit program that pairs community volunteers with seniors and others in need for periodic in-home visits. The program, Newman said, has been operating for about a month and is designed to share information on available resources and current scams and safety concerns.
"The program will pair volunteers from the community with seniors and others in need for home visits," Newman said, and she distributed informational brochures and reviewed program details with board members. Newman emphasized the program's outreach purpose rather than enforcement, describing it as an information and safety-check resource.
Board members received brochures and an overview; Newman did not present the program for a vote and no formal action was taken at the meeting. The board discussed the program informally with Newman during the New Business portion of the agenda and was given contact materials for follow-up.
