Karen’s Korner – Week Eight – Home safety

by Minden Press-Herald

Karen’s Korner,

No matter our age, our home should be our safe area! But, for some seniors, sometimes it isn’t.

The following are tips for keeping our homes safe.

  • Always lock your doors and windows – Install a deadbolt lock
  • Install a home alarm system
  • Install motion detector lighting – Outdoor areas
  • Reinforce sliding doors
  • Buy a home security camera
  • Keep spare keys in a lock box
  • Don’t overshare on social media – (Don’t advertise an upcoming trip, etc.)
  • Secure garages and sheds
  • Password protect your wifi network
  • Don’t advertise large purchases – breakdown or remove boxes from sight
  • Make it appear that someone is at home
  • Keep valuables in a locked safe                                  

(TIPS FROM OBERER HOMES)
