Safety / Security for the Elderly - Family & Neighbours

Family  Neighbours - know your neighbours and let them and your family know what your plans are each day:  One of the most important ways you can protect yourself is by getting to know your neighbours. Knowing who lives around you that you can trust is like extending your family. A tight neighbourhood keeps their eyes out on each other and checks up on things if they notice anything that doesn't look right. To get the best results in this type of friendly situation is to let your neighbours and well as family know if you are going to be away for a day or even a week. By making this a habit, you'll be making it easier your neighbours as well as loved ones to know if something doesn't seem right and to check up on you or your home.
