Solo Living: Essential Safety Tips for Women Living on Their Own

There is nothing quite like having your own place. The decor is yours, the schedule is yours, and the peace and quiet are yours. It is a huge milestone of independence. But at night, when a floorboard creaks or the wind howls, that silence can feel a little too loud.

Vulnerability at Home

Living alone means there is no one else to hear you if you fall in the shower or if someone tries to break in. That vulnerability can turn your sanctuary into a source of anxiety. You might find yourself double-checking the locks or leaving the TV on just to hear a voice.

Traditional home security systems are expensive and often require complex installation. They protect the house, but they don't necessarily protect you if you have a medical emergency or an accident.

Your 24/7 Roommate

Think of MySentry as the roommate who is always awake, always alert, but never eats your leftovers. We provide the security of a monitored home system without the expensive installation or the monthly contracts.

Securing Your Space

MySentry works wherever you are, including inside your home. By wearing your watch, you have Automatic Fall Detection even when you are in your pajamas. If you slip in the kitchen, help is summoned automatically.

For security, the Voice Activation feature is powerful. If you hear a noise and feel unsafe, you can trigger an alarm with your voice. This can scare off potential intruders and immediately connects you to police dispatch.

You can also set up Automated Check-Ins. If you live alone and have a medical condition, you can have the app check on you at specific times. If you don't respond, we alert your emergency contacts to come check on you.

Sleeping Soundly

Your home should be your castle, not your fortress of fear. With MySentry, you can lock the door and sleep soundly, knowing that you are never truly alone. Enjoy your independence with the confidence that you are protected, day and night.
