Some Useful Safety Information

Please feel free to share these free resources.  Even if you do not use our services we sincerely wish for all Seniors to feel safe and secure.  These lists have been compled to help you and family members trouble shoot areas of concern so they are not unnoticed and they can be addressed.

 

The founder of this business started it because he was unable to find these services for his own parents living in Florida at the time.  Shortly after searching for these services his father died unexpectedly and his mother had to be placed into an assisted living facility.  Our prayers are with everyone struggling with the care of elderly and our deepest hopes and wishes are for them to be able to stay in their homes as long as possible.
