Home Safety
The Home Safety for Seniors program designed to support the safety of older adults within their homes. This program aims to empower seniors and their families with the knowledge and resources needed to create a safe living environment.
Residential Lockbox Program
Residential lockboxes provide emergency responders with secure access to your home during an emergency when occupants are unable to open the door.
Requirements
- A Senior aged 62 and older, or have a special need or disability
- A resident of the City of Glendale
- Living alone with a chronic illness, at risk of falling, or have a history of emergency calls. If you don’t live alone, both must have the above criteria
Or
- Are referred by Glendale Fire or Police
Additional Information
Information, installation details, and access instructions for each lockbox are securely stored within the emergency dispatch database systems of the City of Glendale Fire and Police Departments.
Best of all, the program is free for qualifying residents.
It is important to note that installation of a residential lockbox does not provide homeowners with a “lockout service”. Therefore, if a homeowner accidentally locks themselves out of their home, the City of Glendale will not use the lockbox program to grant access to the residence.
