We are excited to announce the Fire Department launched a new program called Safe Senior Program. In 2020, Shawnee firefighters responded to nearly 1,000 calls to help citizens who fell in their homes. The goal of this program is to keep older residents safe and reduce calls of this nature.
Shawnee seniors or caregivers can take advantage of this program by calling the Fire Department at (913) 631-1080 to schedule a FREE appointment. A member of the Shawnee Fire Department Community Support Team and our Health Enhancement Coordinator will meet at your home to go over ways to stay safe from fires, falls, slips and trips. The Safe Senior Team will also go over other resources the City has available for our senior citizens, including:
Please do not hesitate to reach out and set up an appointment for the Safe Senior Program. We look forward to serving you.
