Non-Emergency Help Line

Please call 440-247-1015 and press #6 for Senior Center. Leave a message and a trained representative appointed by the Mayor from Chagrin Senior Council will answer your call. Your call will remain confidential. The volunteer can give you resources to help solve your problem or find an organization that can provide help. Your problem can be as simple as finding someone to mow you lawn. You may also call Chagrin Falls Police non-emergency and they will refer the call to the committee. The Non-emergency help line was enacted by Council in September 2008 under Ordinance No. 2008-45.
