CARE Program
Our C.A.R.E. (Checking Around Residents of the Elderly) program is an outreach program designed for disabled, homebound, or elderly residents. As part of the program, participants request health and welfare checks. Officers will call citizens who have elected to participate in the program several times a week. The goal is to engage and ensure their well-being. If Officers are unable to make contact or if the Officer detects a problem, an Officer is sent by the home to check on the individual. This program is a free service provided by the Yemassee Police Department and is available to all addresses within the Town limits.
