Senior Citizen Security Planner
Security for older people is about safety and independence — plan with them, never surveil of them. Tell us whether the resident lives alone, uses mobility aids or has memory concerns, and we’ll tailor a dignified, simple home-safety plan. Planning figures; runs in your browser.
Tailored for someone who lives alone, does not use mobility aids and has no memory concerns.
- 1Video door phone with large, simple buttons — plus a firm ‘don’t open to strangers’ habit
- 2A panic / SOS button within reach (a wearable plus one fixed by the bed)
- 3Easy locks — a keypad or smart lock with family access, no fiddly keys to be locked out by
- 4Well-lit, motion-lit paths to prevent night-time falls
- 5A simple alarm they can actually operate
- 6A daily check-in with family or a trusted neighbour
- 7A medical-alert / emergency response service
- 8A trusted-contact list by the phone and the door
Indicative plan only — security for older people is about safety and independence. Keep it simple: complex gadgets get switched off. Involve a doctor or occupational therapist for the medical-alert service and fall-risk assessment, and verify the plan with the family and a professional. Nothing here is stored.
