A care home is now investigating security procedures after a senior with dementia wandered away from the complex and was hit by a train on Saturday, Feb. 1.

The man, in his seventies, wandered about ten blocks when he was hit around 8:15 that night. He was airlifted to hospital where he remains, but his injuries are not as serious as first thought.

Now officials at the Evergreen Baptist Campus of Care, which has been in the process of adding extra security measures, is trying to figure out what went wrong.

That's something we're trying to get to the bottom of and we'll do that with our investigation, said Stephen Bennett, Executive Director of the home. The senior was in a unit that either staffs or locks the front door, but he was not in one of the secure lockdown units.

The care home is reviewing why the elderly man was not in a lockdown unit, pointing to the fact that dementia progresses at varying rates for different people.

In some its much slower. So without speaking about this individual in particular, it may be that dementia had progressed more rapidly and we hadn't moved him to a more appropriate location," said Bennett.

This most recent case is not the first elderly home care resident to wander away from a facility.

In December, 76 year old Joan Warren died of hypothermia after walking away from her care home in North Vancouver.

There's believed to be 70,000 B.C. residents with dementia and that number is supposed to double in 25 years.

Portland, ME (PRWEB) February 03, 2014

On the whole, teenagers are not widely recognized for their conscientious and caring attitude towards their families and tend to take a more carefree approach towards life, as opposed to the mindful and mature attitude of their older peers.

When it comes to home safety for those who have teenagers living at home, or even employ teenage babysitters to look after younger children, there are a few hints and tips that can be followed in order to ensure that home safety is carried out properly within the household.

The guide, penned by a home safety professional, covers many topics. Common sense can often slip to the back of the mind of a busy person when the rigmarole of everyday life takes over; it is easy to forget to lock a window before bed, but its a dangerous mistake that can cause ructions further down the line. The tip sheet will refresh the mind and bring home safety back into the forefront of the consumer's mind.

Many families will understand that leaving teenagers at home can sometimes leave the home a little more vulnerable to issues; their guard tends to be down more than an adult and whilst it may be frustrating, by covering every potential problem before leaving a teen alone ultimately eliminates potential problems.

With input from consumers who have teenagers at home themselves, offering advice, solutions and tips, the guide is a sure fire way for people to learn about practices that can be applied to their own homes in order to keep their security and safety in the best order possible, whether the angst ridden adolescent is over the threshold or not.

Senior Editor at BestHomeAlarmSystemsReviews.com Mike Bristow said: At BestHomeAlarmSystemsReviews.com we understand that having one or multiple teenagers in the family home can be testing for a number of reasons, let alone because they can be sloppy in their approach to ensuring that their abode is safe and secure."

We decided to put this guide together from a mix of personal experience and observational experience that we have gained over the years. By implementing the guidance given, consumers will be able to leave their homes safe in the knowledge that they have covered every base in regards to the safety and security of the household, and may even be able to pass some of the knowledge onto the teenager themselves."

Home Safety Advice for Families with Teenagers Tip Sheet Released by BestHomeAlarmSystemsReviews.com

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 UTAH) - Every 15 seconds a home is burglarized in the United States. Sadly, according to national statistic only 15 percent of those cases get solved. The Unified Police Department says it averages just over three cases per day.

ABC 4 Utah wants to help you protect your home. So, we sat down with a man who went to jail for burglarizing homes and we spoke to police and a home security expert to find out what all of us can do.

Josh Clawson says "There were times I went into places and... you grab a laundry basket and fill the laundry basket... a little personal safe that was in one of the drawers. And I took a couple TVs. And that was it."

Clawson got away with most of his home burglaries, but the law eventually caught up with him and he spent five years in prison. He has been out 11 years, no longer steals, he's a contractor and a family man. Clawson agreed to talk to us as as way to try to make up for his past and to help home owners learn how burglars think and how they can stop them before they strike.

Clawson says most burglars "go in and fill it up as fast as they can fill it up." He says in a matter of minutes a thief can load up your valuables and be gone. Clawson says many home owners make it too easy for home burglars. "I think a lot of time people don't lock the door behind them." "They leave a window open for ventilation." And he says when people do things like buy a safe - they don't make it safe. "They have bolt holes in them - bolt them down. No one is going to take the time to pull that up. Especially when you are trying to get in and out."

Clawson says too many people also believe their neighbors offer protection. "You put it in a laundry basket and throw a sheet on it and who is going to think or care if somebody is taking a load of laundry to the car?" And he says people make it obvious they are not home, by posting their vacation on Facebook or leaving the same lights on or off day after day. "Don't get into the routine of leaving a hall light on every week." He adds that valuables, like jewelry, are so often in the same place no matter whose house you break into. "People are not going to go through a jewelry box. They are just going to take the entire jewelry box."

So, what can we do to better protect our property and reduce our risk? First, Clawson says you need to understand sometimes a burglar will just "...pull in the driveway like you belong there. Walk around back like you know what you are doing. Open the back door." The former home burglar says some homes are easy targets. "Put it in a laundry basket, put a sheet on it. Put it in the truck and drove away."

Corey Green - with Total Protection home security - wants to prevent your home from being an easy target. "This security system is nice because it is going to cover all my doors and windows. So, if someone approaches my house sirens are going to off. This unit is going to call a central station it's also going to send me a text message."

And police say those texts messages can help them respond and catch the burglars in the act. Lt. Justin Hoyal with Unified Police says "There's a lot of things out on the market today that will help people get alerts and then they can call us and we can get over a lot more quickly."

A security system can't stop every home burglar, but Green says it's one of the best deterrents. "If you have yard signs, window stickers, someone sees you have an alarm they go bother someone else." And if you add cameras - both Green and Clawson say you just added another layer of protection. Clawson says "That would deter me. I would probably just keep walking." And Green says "Even if all that doesn't stop someone - it should move them along."
