Safety / Security for the Elderly - Out in Public

First, if you plan to carry a handbag or a wallet, keep it closed and your money out of easy reach and away from temptation. Next, whenever possible go out with a friend or even a group of friends. There's always safety in numbers. There are services that will pick you and your friends up and take you safely to and various destinations. Most senior residences also offer this service. Last but not least, just pay attention to what's going on around you. This will help you avoid unpleasant experiences and just have a good time. Lastly, think of carrying one of these personal alarms
