Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey there and welcome to another episode of the Aging
in Place Directory podcast.
I'm Esther Kane, a retiredoccupational therapist and
currently an Aging in Placespecialist, and today we're
going to look into a topic thatis going to be popular very soon
, and that is travel.
(00:22):
Most people travel during thesummer, although I know if
you're retired you're probablytraveling all the time.
I have friends who love totravel.
I personally do not.
It is the last thing in theworld I want to do, but for a
lot of people it's what theyenjoy.
But you do need to do it safely, and that also includes
(00:45):
preparing your home for leavingit.
I have a story to tell you.
My neighbor next door a coupleof years ago left her house to
go visit her mother during theChristmas holidays.
We live in North Georgia and wedo get freezing weather at
(01:05):
times.
During that particular holidayseason, the weather did get to
freezing, and when you do that,if you live in northern cold
weather, you know that you'resupposed to have water dripping
a little bit in order to keepthe pipes or help to keep the
pipes from freezing.
But what she should have doneand actually is to turn off the
(01:28):
water completely.
But she did not and, as aresult, one morning someone was
walking their dog in front ofher house and noticed water
coming out from the front door,from underneath the front door,
so you can only imagine how muchwater was in that house now
(01:50):
that it pipes had burst and theentire first floor had to be
gutted and redone and furniturelot and it was an absolute mess
and she had to cut her vacationshort and run home to take care
of the mess.
So, yeah, so turning your wateroff is one thing you definitely
(02:14):
want to do.
When you go away for anextended period of time, even if
it's just a weekend, you wantto make sure to turn the water
off.
All right, so we're going totalk about some of these tips,
not only on how to secure yourhome, but how to travel safely.
So the last thing that you wantis to be on a beautiful beach
(02:36):
somewhere sipping a pina colada,only to be worrying about
whether you lock the back dooror if anything is happening at
home.
So let's talk about some of thethings you should do before you
start packing, you know, beforeyou walk out the door after
you've packed your bags.
So, number one you want to lockup everything.
(02:58):
You want to check all the doorsand windows and make sure even
the ones that are that arerarely used, and make sure even
the ones that are that arerarely used and make sure that
they're locked.
You don't want to forget thegarage.
Many people overlook that,overlook this.
I can't tell you how many timesI've gone out to my driveway
and I look around and I seepeople's garage doors open
(03:22):
during the day, which you reallyshouldn't do this anyway.
But I know that one or two areaway on vacation and they
probably thought they closed thegarage door as they drove away,
but didn't realize that theclicker didn't work or something
happened and the garage door isnow wide open.
So then, of course, you have tocall them and figure out how to
(03:44):
get that garage door closed.
If you have, if you happen tohave a garage door opener that
gives you an app, that app maybe able to tell you whether the
garage door is open or closedand you can control it from
there.
If you have sliding glass doorsand I know those are extremely
popular down in South Florida,maybe Arizona too, I don't know,
(04:05):
but anyway you want to use arod or a bar in the track in
order to help prevent any forcedentry through those doors,
because they're usually prettyeasy to break through you want
to set up.
Number two is to set up timersfor lights.
If you have a dark house, thatis, you know, dark throughout,
(04:26):
you know all night not all nightnecessarily, but night after
night after night then that's adead giveaway that no one is
home.
And you know, especially youwant to have the light on,
especially, like you know,between 4 pm or 5 pm, depending
on when the sun sets, you knowdown to 10 or 11 pm.
You want to try to do it duringyour regular times and you can
(04:49):
use smart plugs or timers to dothis.
If you use smart plugs, thenyou can control them with the
app on your phone and then theapp can tell you whether the
light is on or off and you canyou manually control it if
that's what you want to do.
And one thing that I like to dois I put my TV on a smart plug
(05:10):
because I want that TV to turnon as well.
Having a light on is one thing,but having a TV on is another
because the TV, then it's morelikely that it seems like
someone is home.
If the TV is on or a radio,anything like that, it creates
(05:31):
noise and it just makes it seemlike someone's home.
You want to put mail and yourdeliveries on hold, if you can.
I know it's difficult to dowith, like Amazon products or
anything like that, but if youdo have those kinds of things
coming, then you can ask yourneighbor to.
You know, be on the lookout forthose and pick those up as they
(05:53):
come.
But nothing screams.
You know we're not home, morethan like an overflowing mailbox
or packages piling up at thedoor.
So, obviously, put your mail onhold and you can do that online
.
You don't have to go to thepost office and if you still get
newspaper deliveries, you know,go ahead and pause those as
(06:16):
well.
You want to secure any of yourvaluables and documents,
especially if you have someonecoming in to care for your pets.
Now, unless you know thisperson for a very long time, you
want to make sure that you lockup your jewelry and your cash,
important documents, things likethat, or you want to take them
(06:36):
to a safe deposit box at a bank.
I personally, you know, like toput them in fireproof folders
that I got on Amazon and then Iput those in the safe deposit
box at the bank.
If you have a safe deposit boxin your home, that's great.
Put them in there.
(06:57):
And another thing you can do isyou can take photos of
important documents likepassports and credit cards in
case, for whatever reason, youtend to lose them, or you lose
them while you're traveling, orthey get stolen, or anything can
happen.
You want to adjust yourthermostat so that the house
(07:18):
doesn't get too hot in thesummer or it doesn't get too
cold in the winter.
In the winter, I can say openyour kitchen cabinets.
If you have piping behind thosecabinets and the cabinets are
up against an outdoor wall, thenI would definitely keep those
(07:38):
cabinet doors open to help keepthose pipes from freezing.
Obviously, if you have yourwater turned off, that will help
your pipes from freezing, but alittle bit of extra help won't
hurt if you're leaving in duringcold weather.
If you have a home securitysystem, make sure, obviously,
(07:59):
that it's activated.
And if the home security system, if it gives you an app on your
phone, then you can alwayscheck it on your phone.
Doorbell cameras are great.
I have one in the front, I haveone in the back, I have one in
the back.
I have outdoor cameras all overthe place outside.
Those are wonderful, especiallyif they're connected to your
(08:19):
phone app so you can get alertsand you can check in on live
feeds at all time.
If you happen to have Wi-Fienabled cameras, then make sure
that they are charged before youleave so that you don't have to
worry about them running out ofjuice.
Obviously, have a trustedfriend or neighbor.
(08:43):
Keep an eye out for your home.
They should have, you shouldhave a few people, hopefully, in
your neighborhood that have akey in case of emergencies or
can somehow get into your home.
You know, via the garage codepad or anything like that.
If you have happen to have doorlocks in your home that are,
(09:05):
you know, the, the number doorlocks, that usually comes with
apps on your phone so you canlet people in and out of your
home, or you can give them thecode so they can do it in case,
for whatever reason, you knowthey can't reach you or you're
not by your phone.
All right, so we're going totalk about traveling safely.
(09:28):
So, now that your home isprepped and secure as much as it
can be, let's talk aboutstaying safe while traveling.
The number one rule I give toeveryone is please do not
announce that you're not home.
Don't go on social media.
I'm at the airport now.
Oh, we just boarded the plane.
(09:49):
Oh, you know we landed in Romeand you know we're going to be
staying at such and such andhere's a great meal that I'm
having in Tuscany and don't dothat.
Don't do that.
You can take all the picturesyou want, keep them on your
phone and when you get home,then you can put them on social
(10:14):
media and let people know thatyou had a great time there, but
that you are now back home,because potential burglars
definitely look for that onsocial media accounts.
It's basically putting up abanner on your house saying, hey
, the house is empty, come on in.
(10:35):
So why would you want to dothat?
Don't do that.
Keep copies of importantdocuments, you know, like your
passport, id, travel insuranceand all of that, and in addition
to copies, you also want tohave photos of them on your um,
on your, on your phone, you know.
(10:56):
Keep them in a separate placein your luggage um, so that
they're all together.
The use of a money belt or ananti-theft bag is a no-brainer,
especially if you're going to amajor city, if you're going to a
place that has a lot ofpickpockets, you know being
(11:16):
reported, any place that you'regoing to be that's crowded.
If you're going for a festivalor anything where there's a lot
of people, you want to make sureto keep the things that you
have that are yours yours.
So a money belt or ananti-theft bag is just the
easiest and the mostcommon-sense thing to do.
(11:38):
Obviously, like anything, beaware of your surroundings.
Check online to see if thereare any common scams going on
where you're going.
Stay in well-lit, populatedareas, especially at night.
Try not to stay out late atnight in cities that you're not
(12:01):
familiar with.
And if you're using ride shareslike Uber or Lyft, anything like
that, double check the car andthe driver before getting in.
Usually, when you use a rideshare, you get the name of that
driver on your phone.
So as soon as you open the doorto the car or they open the
door, you say, excuse me, Iforgot what was your name again
(12:23):
and make sure that it's the namethat's on your phone.
That's a great way to know thatyou're getting in the right car
with someone who is as legit ashopefully, and then, of course,
share your ride with others sothat they know where you are,
just in case, and you can giveyour itinerary to someone, so
(12:46):
that one person at least oneperson should know when you're
leaving, what's your flightnumber or train or whatever,
what time you're expected to bethere, what hotel or airbnb or
bed and breakfast, when are youcoming back.
All that information it'simportant that other people know
(13:07):
, especially lately.
It seems like there have been alot of air crashes lately or
close calls and it's importantfor someone to know what's
happening.
Especially if you have a pet athome, somebody has to be
designated to care for that petand to do whatever it is that
you wish them to do with the petin case something were to
(13:28):
happen.
If you're travelinginternationally, make sure that
you have like a roaming plan orsomething like that on your
phone.
Contact your provider, yourcell phone provider, to find out
what is available, what's thecost, what are the limitations,
all of that, and just check inregularly by texting.
(13:49):
You know with people so thatthey know you're safe.
That's what you can do insteadof social media.
Just check in via text.
Pack a small emergency kit, ofcourse, especially if you are on
specific medications.
Make sure you have those withyou.
You also want to have thingslike a portable phone charger
(14:13):
they have solar phone chargersthat you might be able to use a
little flashlight, some firstaid supplies like a Band-Aid, a
know, tylenol, whatever, um,anything like that that you
think you might need.
Um and have a plan for lost orstole items.
(14:35):
If your, if your passport getsstolen, obviously you're
overseas, then you want to headto the nearest embassy.
You want to keep a list ofemergency contact numbers,
including your bank, includingthe bank information on there.
In case you have a credit cardthat is lost, you want to be
(14:56):
able to freeze that.
I use the Discover card.
I love that card because I canfreeze it online.
It dings my phone every singletime a charge is made.
I have never had a bad.
Well, that's not true.
There was one time when itdinged there was a charge made
at a restaurant that I was notat, so I froze my card
(15:20):
immediately right on that appand then was able to contact
Discover for them to change thecard number.
So obviously the number gottaken somewhere, I'm not sure
where, but anyway.
So look for if you don't have acredit card like that.
Look for something like that.
(15:40):
That's one of the easiest waysto keep track of what's
happening with your credit andbeing able to freeze it
immediately, just via the app,right away.
But, of course, if you do loseyour passport, you can't do that
.
You have to head out to theembassy.
So do your best to keepeverything as safe as possible.
(16:04):
All right, so I hope that thisinformation helps you to have an
easier, a safer, a more securetravel vacation.

able to freeze that.
I use the Discover card.
I love that card because I canfreeze it online.
It dings my phone every singletime a charge is made.
I have never had a bad.
Well, that's not true.
There was one time when itdinged there was a charge made
at a restaurant that I was notat, so I froze my card
(15:20):
immediately right on that appand then was able to contact
Discover for them to change thecard number.
So obviously the number gottaken somewhere, I'm not sure
where, but anyway.
So look for if you don't have acredit card like that.
Look for something like that.
(15:40):
That's one of the easiest waysto keep track of what's
happening with your credit andbeing able to freeze it
immediately, just via the app,right away.
But, of course, if you do loseyour passport, you can't do that
