Yes, PERS is a fee for service system for monitoring members who might be at risk for falls or another emergency event. The cost of the program depends on which unit the members selects.
No, the system is monitored by another organization called Connect America. However, PIC is notified should a member have an emergency event and someone from the Member Care office will contact the member the following day to check on him or her.
Testimonials From Ride Partners
"I am blind in one eye and have low-vision in the other -- so I don't drive. Always felt like I was "begging" someone for a ride to a Dr.s appt. Read about Partners in Care in the local newspaper and gave them a call. I'm now a member and feel like I have my independence back. I call, get a ride with great people who want to serve. Thanks for what you do."

"While I was still working, Partners in Care was a great help getting my elderly mom to and from appointments during work hours. She was always confident in having them drive her and very thankful."
