This free call reassurance program provides scheduled phone calls to senior citizens or those who are physically disabled.  Senior Link is a supportive supplement to the family and community and not intended as an emergency service.

Senior Link is available 8:00am to 8:00pm, so you are able to choose when you want to receive calls.  Participants’ names will not be shared with any other individuals or agencies unless an emergency situation is detected.

Calls are made by trained listeners who provide a caring and warm connection.  They will not provide advice or medication recommendations but can provide referrals to outside agencies.  Individuals, family members, or friends can “link” up to the program by calling ACTS Helpline at 703-368-4141.

In addition to traditional hotline services, Helpline is here to provide access to any number of resources. Individuals seeking information on a wide variety of human services can rely on the Helpline to provide the most up-to-date information and resources to help callers find the help they are looking for.
