Telephone Re-Assurance - “Are You OK?”

This is not just a question; it is the name of a computerized telephone reassurance program- “R-U-OK?”.  The Town of New Castle offers this daily service to you at no cost.  If you live alone, this is an important service that you should consider.  Each morning you will receive a phone call.  If you are unable to answer the phone, an alert is issued.  Then the necessary steps will be taken to check on your safety and provide the required assistance.

Home Delivered Meals Program

Provides up to 2 meals a day for any person age 60 or older who is unable to meet his/her nutritional needs because of difficulty in shopping or preparing meals.  This program is available on a temporary or ongoing basis.  For home delivered meals, please call 238-2093.

Smoke Detector Battery Replacement Program
