SOSS IS DEDICATED TO SECURING THE SAFETY OF SENIORS LIVING IN FACILITIES AND PROTECTING THEM AGAINST CRIMINAL ACTS.

OUR STORY

We were sons and daughters. Now we are friends joined together by a shared tragedy. We lost our mothers to a knock on a door.

To repeat – a knock on a door. He shouldn’t have been able to walk down their hall and knock on their doors.

We paid for oversight. We thought they were safe. They were not.

We are wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, grandparents, sisters, and brothers. We are daughters, sons, nieces, and nephews. We are working so you don’t have to live our tragedy.

SOSS is focused on 3 major initiatives

Since the tragic events, we’ve visited countless communities and have observed a gaping hole in basic on-site security.
Our mission is to advocate for the implementation of essential security measures in senior living communities and to help guide families in selecting the safest and most secure senior living environments for their loved ones.
