Start an RUOK Program in Your County
RUOK programs call residents who live alone every day to make sure they're safe. ConfirmOk runs the calls automatically for sheriff's offices, police departments, and aging agencies, and alerts your team the moment someone doesn't answer.
What is an RUOK program?
An RUOK program is a daily telephone check-in for people who live alone, most often seniors and homebound residents. Each morning the resident gets a call. If they answer and confirm they're OK, nothing else happens. If they don't, someone follows up: a family member, a caregiver, or an officer sent for a welfare check.
Sheriff's offices and police departments across the country have run RUOK programs for decades. Many started with volunteers or dispatchers making calls by hand. ConfirmOk automates the calls, the retries, and the alerts, so your agency can run a dependable program without adding staff.

Trouble with an existing RUOK system?
Many counties still run RUOK programs on dialer hardware and software installed decades ago. When the machine fails or the vendor is gone, the daily calls stop — and the residents who count on them are left uncovered. ConfirmOk can help you keep your program running.
Not sure what's wrong? Call us at (760) 209-6542 — we'll help you figure out whether your current RUOK system is salvageable and what a switch would involve.
Paying for an RUOK program
Most agencies cover an RUOK program from existing budgets — typically the general fund or community policing budgets. We can help you identify funding that fits your county.
