SOSS IS DEDICATED TO SECURING THE SAFETY OF SENIORS LIVING IN FACILITIES AND PROTECTING THEM AGAINST CRIMINAL ACTS.
OUR STORY
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 (SECURE OUR SENIORs' SAFETY) CONVENERS

SOSS is focused on 3 major initiatives
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.
1

FAMILY MEMBERS LOOKING FOR SENIOR LIVING OPTIONS
We aim to inform adult children about the importance of on-site security by leveraging television, email, and government petitioning. We are providing a security checklist to evaluate safety measures before selecting a community for their loved ones.

SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITY OPERATORS
We urge providers of senior living communities to implement baseline security measures across their communities to help shield residents from external dangers. The security checklist we provide to family members serves as our suggested protocols for your guidance.

LEGISLATIVE POLICY MAKERS FOR SENIOR LIVING
We are advocating for new legislation that requires enhanced security measures in senior living environments. We are actively signing petitions, contacting legislators, and spreading awareness about the pressing need for improved security measures.
Let’s Take Care
of those who
took care of us!
Secure Our Seniors’ Safety (SOSS) was founded when the unthinkable happened. A serial killer, indicted for 22 homicides and two attempted murders, murdered our loved ones in their residences for jewelry.
Their stories live on within each of us, and are a driving force behind our continued pursuit for justice and safety.
Read their stories.
