subject: Protecting Home Security With Parents Are in a Nursing Home [print this page] If you are considering moving one or both of your parents into a nursing home or assisted living facility, this is probably an emotionally wrenching time for you. Facing the fact that your parents are getting to the point where you need to take care of them is never easy. No matter what kind of childhood you had, there was a point in which your mom or dad or both were primarily responsible for making sure that you were fed and dressed and ready for the day. Now the roles have reversed, and you are furthermore faced with the fact that your time with your parents might be quite limited. Your aging parents themselves are most likely no happier about this new situation than you are. They are struggling with the fact that they are starting to lose some of the abilities and privileges that they have known for their entire adult lives. By asking them to enter an assisted living arrangement, you are telling them that they cannot be trusted to take care of themselves. You are telling them that they cannot drive or administer their own medications or be left alone without hurting themselves. You probably have decided that this is what is best for them after a long internal battle, but they might not see it this way. No, this is not an easy time for anyone involved.
Amid all of this emotional turmoil, the last thing upon your mind is protecting the home security if your parents house now that they have moved out. There are so many other issues at hand, but you must remember that home security concerns do not just evaporate now that they are out of the house. In fact, now that the house is empty, it is an even more attractive target for criminals who do now want to have a confrontation with a homeowner. This is especially true if your parents live in an area with a high concentration of elderly people criminals may target these neighborhoods knowing that many of the houses will be poorly protected or may become vacant for long periods of time. They will look for signs that no one is living in the homes anymore and then they will strike. So once you have your parents settled in to their new arrangement, act immediately to ensure the home security of your parents' house. The first thing you want to do is install a solid home security system. Being of a younger generation, you probably realize how important having a good home alarm set up is in protecting both your house and your family from outside intruders. But your parents, having grown up in a different era, might not have realized how important this basic investment is. So if they do not have an alarm system installed on their property, call a local and get one set up immediately. Now, all you have to do is turn it on. If anyone breaks in, the local authorities will be notified immediately!
