First Responder Registry
DMCC is creating a registry that will enable City first responders to proactively check on people who need special attention when an emergency occurs. People who need special care, have health issues, or are on life support at home and need a welfare check in the event of an emergency are asked to contact and register with DMCC.
If you'd like to be added to the registry, please call 858-792-7565 or email dmcc@dmcc.cc.
Some of our senior residents do not drive and have no family in the area. They would probably appreciate a neighbor checking in on them in the event of an emergency. If you have a senior living in your neighborhood, we encourage you to check on them once your family is secure.

In-Home Connections
"Being a member of DMCC In-Home Connections has added a new dimension to my life. In addition to being serviced so beautifully, I have met such wonderful people, those that do the servicing and those who do the arranging. My every request is responded to with a smile. This is truly a "Community Connection." Having Dr. Mark Kalina heading the Health Forum is frosting on the cake."
- Edie Parti, IHC client
You and your vehicle can give the gift of independence and mobility to a Del Mar senior who no longer drives. DMCC is looking for volunteers who have 4 hours a month to give as an In-Home Connections volunteer. Contact Jeannie Walsh at 858-792-7570 or email jeannie@dmcc.cc.
Only have a couple of hours here and there? Then you might be perfect as a Volunteer Driver to take a senior to a medical appointment. Contact Heather at 858-792-7565 or heather@dmcc.cc to apply.
