Halloween is meant to be a spooky night where kids get
dressed up and run around the neighborhood collecting tasty treats. For seniors this night can be physically exhausting
on their bodies especially if they are participating in Halloween festivities. Seniors who are staying in their home on
Halloween night should invite family or friends to help them distribute candy
to the kids to avoid the physical strain of the ups and downs to the door. Having help on Halloween night, and an extra
person in the senior’s home can also protect them from crime.
Whether the senior plans to distribute candy or not, they
should always leave on their outside lights.
Homes that appear vacant are more likely to be targeted by criminals and
can be extra vulnerable on Halloween night.
Another idea is to ask a neighbor to keep an extra eye out the senior’s
home during the course of the night, and to pass candy out on their
behalf. This can be accomplished by
placing a sign on the senior’s door that directs them to the neighbor’s home to
collect candy.
Halloween is meant to be a fun night and seniors should be
able to safely enjoy this time to. Comfort Keepers of Newark DE is always here
for your assistance. Need more tips on
how to keep a senior safe on the upcoming Halloween night, or any night? Please
