City Announces Wellness Check Program

The City of Bedford has a program for residents age 65 and older and/or those who may be isolated and desire a periodic wellness check.  Those who participate in the program will be contacted via telephone by City staff periodically as a means of ensuring the well-being of the resident.  All residents are urged to call 9-1-1 for any life threatening emergency, and to contact a physician should they exhibit signs or symptoms of coronavirus or other illnesses of concern.  To enroll in the program or for additional questions, residents can call the Parks & Recreation Department at 440-735-6570, email recreation@bedfordoh.gov, or visit the City’s coronavirus/COVID-19 web page, https://bedfordoh.gov/departments/coronavirus-information to submit an electronic form.  All current resident members of the Bedford Senior Club and residents currently enrolled in the City’s senior transportation services are being contacted directly about the program.
