The KIT Program provides a person with the security of knowing that each day a volunteer of the Oceanside Community Safety  will be telephoning to ensure their well being.

For Clients:

The program is designed to assist seniors who may be concerned about having a fall or a sudden illness and being in need of help. KIT is a wonderful program for individuals who live alone, possibly with medical issues, or those recovering from surgery or a hospital stay.

Oceanside Community Safety members call KIT clients every day, between 9 and 10 a.m. to check in and ensure they are OK. If there is no answer after two tries, a backup system goes into effect to determine if help is needed.

Every year all the KIT clients are invited to a tea and luncheon where they can meet the volunteers that call them daily.

If you or a person you know would like to be on the KIT list, please contact us by e-mail: kit@oceansidecsv.org. There is no fee for this community service program and new clients are always welcome.
