Safety and Security at Home

As senior age, all their senses may not be as sensitive as before and their memories will deteriorate. 

a) Fire risk
Fire causes loss of lives and homes to many. Just as it is important to have to get an extinguisher for your household. Installing smoke and carbon monoxide detector in the kitchen or even other part of the house can be a sensible decision. When a senior has a declining memory and still doing the cooking for the family. There is high tendency of fire in the kitchen if the senior forgotten to turn off the stove or didn't notice the burning smell. This is not only applicable to senior only. As long as we cook at home. There is a possibility that it might happens. Other fire incidents include burning of praying altar, un-extinguished cigarette butts, electrical fire and so on. Ensuring the safety of your family members is the first priority in any home. 



Installing video intercom system for senior help them to identify clearly who is the visitor before opening the door. With failing vision, identifying visitor through the peep hole of the door is difficult. The video intercom help to prevent senior from opening door to complete stranger who may turn out to be robber. 




Door bell that light up upon depressing of the button, inform the senior with hearing problem of visitor. Similarly, buy your senior a house phone equipped with light signal to inform senior of incoming calls.

Memory loss is one of the byproduct of aging. Make sure they always have phone numbers of family members with them. Get them a mobile phone with elder safety feature. They can hit the emergency button when there is need. 

Once you notice that your senior is forgetting things, maybe it will be good to equip them with GPS tracking device so that they can be located in case they lose their way.
