The “Are You O.K.?” © is a free service of the San Rafael Police Department for seniors and house bound residents of Marin. It is designed to ease the concern of relatives and friends who may find it difficult to maintain consistent and reliable contact with the participant.
How does it work?
Each day, beginning at 10:00 a.m., the “Are You O.K.?” © system will call the participant. When the telephone is answered, a predetermined message will let you know this is your “Are You O.K.?” © call. If there is no answer, the system will call back ten minutes later. If after the second call there is still no answer, “Are You O.K.?” © volunteers are alerted to telephone the designated emergency contact to determine if there is a problem.
Is there a fee for this service?
The “Are You O.K.?” © program is free to residents of Marin County.
To become a participant, call the San Rafael Police Department, 415-485-3030 and leave your name and telephone number.

Priority is given to Seniors, people who are experiencing health problems and those who are alone in Marin County.
