The Y.A.N.A. program is designed to provide daily phone contact to individuals with limited family or community contacts. The Program is a service to senior citizens of Post Falls and provides telephone welfare checks for those persons living alone that would benefit from having someone check on them on a regular basis. The program is designed to provide a measure of security and well being for our seniors, handicapped or homebound individuals who are living alone.



The VIPS will make phone calls Monday through Friday. If contact is made, the volunteer will simply check on them over the phone, and no further action will take place. However, if the client doesn’t answer the phone after several tries, an emergency contact person will be notified and a uniformed police officer will be sent to their residence to check on their welfare.
What does the service cost? The Y.A.N.A. Program is provided free of charge by the Post Falls Police Department as a service to the community.
Who can participate? Anyone who lives alone within the City of Post Falls, is ambulatory, is able to use the telephone and has an emergency contact may apply.
How do I apply ? Call 773-3517 at the Post Falls Police Department and ask to speak with a VIPS Coordinator. You will be assisted in obtaining an application form. The application form is also available on the Post Falls Police Department website at www.postfallspolice.com. All information is kept confidential.
Questions? Contact our Community Service Administrator at the Post Falls Police Department (773-3517).
