There are valuable preventive steps to take. Unless your relative lives in a high-crime neighborhood, their greatest risk is a property crime in or around their home. In fact, older adults experience thirteen times more property crime than violent crime. Home invasions and theft are the main concerns.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Secure the perimeter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Install motion detection lights and test them often. Light is an excellent deterrent to those who mean no good. Be sure the front and back doors are particularly well lit.<\/li><li>Put gravel on walkways. It&#8217;s difficult to sneak up quietly while walking on gravel.<\/li><li>Consider installing a video camera at the front door. One that allows those inside to view out before deciding to open the door.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lock up the house.<\/strong> With the increasing boldness of home invasions, encourage your relative to keep windows and doors locked, even during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Exterior doors should have deadbolts, with a peephole or video camera for viewing anyone at the door.<\/li><li>Inside, install a solid bar lock, much like they have at hotels, so your loved one has the option to open the door slightly without letting someone in. (Chain locks are too flimsy.)<\/li><li>Have them bring their phone in hand when they answer the door so they don\u2019t have to look for it to call for help. If your relative has a personal medical alert pendant, they can use that in an emergency.<\/li><li>Train your relative to ask for ID before letting a stranger inside. Even if they say it&#8217;s an emergency, call the company to verify employment and the purpose of the visit.<\/li><li>Add plexiglass or security film on windows if your loved one lives in an area where break-ins are common.<\/li><li>Ensure curtains or blinds are closed at night and thick enough to block the view of activities indoors.<\/li><li>Have your relative keep valuables in a safe and vehicle keys out of sight. Home invaders are looking for easily available, expensive items to grab quickly.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are you worried about crime?<\/strong><br>With all the bad news about crime these days, it&#8217;s hard not to be concerned.
