Caring for Our Community

The Good Morning Program is a free service providing daily wellness checks for senior citizens and adults with disabilities who live alone in Bar Harbor and Mount Desert. Our dedicated team ensures the safety and well-being of our community's most vulnerable residents.

Daily Phone Calls

Friendly check-in calls every weekday morning to ensure participants are safe and well.

Immediate Response

If we can't reach you, officers are dispatched to check on your well-being in person.

Community Connection

Building relationships between residents and the police department through daily interaction.

Program Process

Step 1: Morning Call

Our team calls you between 8:30 AM and 10:30 AM, Monday through Friday.

Step 2: Check-In

A brief, friendly conversation to confirm you're doing well and don't need assistance.

Step 3: Follow-Up

If we can't reach you after multiple attempts, an officer visits your home.
