Safety Tips for Seniors
As you age, you might become a more attractive target for thieves. However, with some precautions, you can continue to enjoy life while staying safe.
Staying Safe at Home
- Secure Your Home: Ensure your locks, doors, and windows are sturdy and difficult to break. Consider installing a reliable alarm system.
- Lock Up: Always keep your doors and windows locked, whether you're at home or away.
- Inventory Valuables: Make a list and take photos of valuable items. Store this information securely.
- Mark Your Property: Contact your local police about marking valuables with an ID number.
- Check Visitors: Always identify visitors before opening the door. Use a peephole or a secure window. If in doubt, don't open the door.
- Limit Cash at Home: Avoid keeping large sums of money in your house.
- Get to Know Your Neighbors: Consider joining a Neighborhood Watch Program for added security and community support.
Being Street Smart
- Stay Alert: Walk with a friend and avoid isolated places like dark parking lots or alleys.
- Lock Your Car: Always keep car doors locked.
- Avoid Stranger Interaction: Don’t open your car door or window for strangers.
- Park Wisely: Choose well-lit parking areas.
- Carry Your Purse Securely: Keep your purse close, with the strap across your shoulder and chest.
- Don’t Resist Robbers: If confronted, hand over your cash immediately.
Managing Your Money Safely
- Opt for Direct Deposit: Have your pension or Social Security checks deposited directly into your bank account.
- Vary Your Banking Routine: Avoid establishing a regular pattern when visiting the bank.
- Limit Cash Carrying: Keep cash, cards, and wallets in an inside pocket rather than your purse.
- Separate Important Items: Don’t store your checkbook and credit cards together. This prevents misuse if stolen.
By following these tips, you can significantly reduce your risk of becoming a crime victim while maintaining an active and enjoyable lifestyle. Stay safe and alert, and don’t let fear stop you from making the most of each day.
