If there are smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms and house alarms in the building, the mobile officer checks that they are working properly
For the house alarm, the security officer makes sure your elderly relative knows the code as well as how to use it
The mobile security patrol checks that the doors and windows are all locked, and reminds your elderly relative of the importance of home security. Does the same when your relative goes to bed because thieves who target the elderly may look for windows that have been left open
They also ensure the shed or garage is locked, especially if there is a ladder or tools inside because opportunistic thieves may use tools that they find to assist their break in
Falls are one of the most common types of accidents for elderly people in the home, and they can have serious consequences. The mobile officer makes sure the home is safe by tidying up any items that they see on the floor that could cause an accident
They also clean up spills, and move any electrical cables that could catch an ankle, and flatten down the edges of the carpets where they lift up
If a light is not working properly, this could increase the chances that your elderly relative has an accident at night. The security officer check the lights on a regular basis by going through the whole property and turning them all on and off. They also check that the security light is working
Does your elderly relative know how to use the security chain on their front door? If you have not yet got one, we can install a strong one that is easy to use and check that they can put it on themselves without any difficulties. The officer will remind them of the importance of using it when answering the door
Safety is so important for elderly people, with our mobile security officers carrying out these simple checks we can reduce the risk of accidents and security threats to ensure that your elderly relative is safer at home. All checks are carried out by a SIA licenced mobile security officer. We also provide a 24 hour emergency call out service.
An increasing number of seniors are choosing to continue living in their own homes, rather than going into a care home. One of the main reasons for this is that many older people and their relatives believe that continuing to live in their own home will aid their wellbeing, whereas moving to a care home may have a negative impact.
The fact is that for most of us, our homes meet some of our most vital needs. They provide comfort, security, privacy, and the chance to create a personalised space. However, as we begin to age, many of our needs change, and our homes need to change with us, otherwise we may put our health, safety and wellbeing at risk.
As we age, our body changes, we lose strength, our balance decreases, vision depletes, hearing can become damaged, sense of smell changes, and cognitive function can often begin to decline. As a result of these changes that come naturally with age, older people are more vulnerable to accidents and injuries while at home, which is why many older people end up in care homes.
However, Spartan 24 Hour Security provide a comprehensive service that makes a home safe and secure for a senior.
