Safety for senior citizens in the home is a continual worry for those with older parents or relatives living on their own. With the world an even more dangerous place than what it was when they were young, it might be bewildering to them on how to cope. Likewise, your own responsibility in making sure they stay safe can be potentially overwhelming. Here at All Island Security, though, we provide some key items that will already help deter the most significant threats to a senior citizen’s life.
This comes in security alarms for their own personal safety, plus fire alarms detecting threats that can be potentially life threatening.
Security Systems
Our security systems here in Long Island, New York are top of the line and have direct connection to a monitoring center that’s alerted whenever something happens. When you have elderly people living alone at home, the chances of a break-in are certainly possible, even when they’re in the house. The latter scenario can be very concerning, especially if they directly encounter the burglar inside. Regardless, with the 24/7 monitoring, our Long Island monitoring center will automatically send police there in minutes.
If your elderly parents happen to go on vacation during the summers, our security system will additionally help keep things safe around their home. With summer being one of the worst times of year for break-ins, it’s going to be invaluable to have a workable burglar alarm that can potentially catch a culprit in the act.
Also, we know how older people can sometimes be adamant in wanting to keep older security equipment and resist upgrades. As frustrating as that might be to younger people, we understand that mentality and can work around those situations. If they don’t want to get rid of their old security system, we have a convenient way of linking it through us. All they have to do is pay a low monthly fee, and we’ll connect their existing security system to our central station monitoring center where we’ll keep things monitored at all times.
If they decide they want to upgrade to our complete security system, they’ll have the best in all of Long Island. Using a simple touch-screen display, plus round-the-clock technical support, senior citizens won’t have to deal with any technical confusion.
Fire Alarms
Fire dangers are one of the most worrisome threats to our senior citizen community. While you should always check a senior citizen’s home for any fire threats, some things can happen unexpectedly. Common fire threats involve turning on a stove ring and forgetting to turn it off.
Here at All Island Security, we also sell excellent fire alarm systems that detect the slightest signs of any trouble. Our central monitoring station in Long Island will also be able to get immediate alerts if there’s any signs of a fire in the home. It’s the same for carbon monoxide, which is just as much of a threat to senior citizens. Far too many deaths have occurred in elderly people due to carbon monoxide fumes.
Contact us here at All Island Security so we can give you more details about how you can protect senior citizens who may be living alone. If you’re taking care of a senior in their home, you already have enough to do rather than worry about their security and safety. Let us help make their life and yours much less stressful.
