Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter has delivered on a campaign promise by announcing a new safety program for Saskatchewan's seniors today at the Seniors' First Safety open house hosted by the Regina Senior Citizens Centre. The Seniors Home Security Program is intended to help low-income seniors and seniors who have been the victim of a break and enter or a home invasion.
"Everyone has the right to feel safe in their own home," Reiter said. "Vulnerable seniors will benefit from increased security through these targeted home safety assessments and installation of home safety equipment at no charge to them."
Under this program, a free home safety assessment and free home safety equipment and installation are provided to seniors at no cost to them. Eligible home safety equipment includes: deadbolts, door viewers, smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms and smoke alarm batteries. To be eligible for the program, seniors must be 65 or older and either have an annual household net income of $35,000 or less; or have been the victim of a break and enter or a home invasion.
"Seniors on a fixed income may not be able to access important safety features for their homes," Regina Senior Citizens Centre Operations Manager and organizer of the Seniors' Safety First open house Cathy Theriault said. "Any program that helps seniors stay in their homes longer and allows them to be more secure is a blessing. Prevention is the focus of our open house and the Seniors Home Security Program is an example of prevention at its best."
More information about the program can be found at www.seniorsecurity.gov.sk.ca.
