NE Nightingales Tip: Cautions

NE Nightingales Home Care Service Tip of the Week

You might have seen more incidents on the news or heard from people that you know, that violence and crime right on your doorstep or over the phone is increasing.  Please exercise caution when:

1. someone knocks on your door who you are not expecting.  Our advice: do not open the door.
2. someone approaches you at home or elsewhere, soliciting about Obamacare -- do not give them any personal information about it.
3. you receive a phone call, text message, or email saying they work for the government and are asking for your social security number or financial accounts.  The government already has this information!!  Do not give out any information.
4. you leave the door unlocked.  Our advice: always lock the door.

To understand how real this is, please watch this video and read the short story.  Be safe, and be well!
