Home Watch Services for Seniors

A home watch service checks the house while your parent is away, in hospital or in respite care: checking the heat and water, bringing in the mail, watering plants and making sure the home is secure.

Check your parent's home insurance. Many policies have conditions for a home left empty, such as regular checks or turning off the water.

Agree a schedule, a written checklist and a short report or photo after each visit.

In winter, ask them to check for frozen pipes and a working furnace on every visit.

Ask how keys and alarm codes are stored, and change codes after a long arrangement ends.
